When do you first see Willem Dafoe?


When the lights come up at the concert(like in the video), is that the first time he appears?

If so.....what a cool entrance!!!!

reply

Yep, that's it.

Interesting that though his character is memorable and instrumental to the film's plot, he doesn't get a huge amount of screen time.🐭

…Although the first time we really remember him is shirtless in leather fisherman's waders and suspenders, which he somehow manages to make both frightening and sexual.

Which is pretty much what Dafoe does in every single film he's in. 

The war is not meant to be won... it is meant to be continuous.

Yes, an entirely awesome entrance!!

Yes, it was a great entrance how the director had him in the shadows and then slowly lit up the lights on him.

This movie is disjointed but there are some excellent scenes. His intro is one of them.
