 In relation to that, the scenes between Ruffalo and Dern's character were what made the movie so powerful and poignant. The raw emotion that Dern's character exploded with was so opposite of Ruffalo's closed and stone-faced character, but obviously as an actor those scenes are the ones you hope to find in a script: "Those scenes (with Laura) were crazy. Those fight scenes..I mean as an actor those are are really fun scenes. There's a lot of dramatic material. I never wanted to be mean to Laura Dern. I love Laura Dern.

This is a decent man in a deep misery and they both are. In the book she's the smart one of the whole group and she's totally subverted her intelligence to be a mother. She's kind of sold herself short. She's not a housewife. She should be teaching school." To further expand upon his interpretation of Jack, Ruffalo continues his thought: "He's tormented by it (the affair) he's really retiscent about going forward with the relationship. When he finally says 'I love Edith', it has no passion in it he becomes conscious when the truth finally come out and all this meanness he's displaying to his wife is a perfect manifestation of the way he's feeling about himself. It's a hateful feeling and the only ... |
