Alain Delon said it best
"what's THAT? , this is not an actor , he only got three facial expressions and he almost doesn't talk on top of this"

Well acting is portraying and people aren't always manic and rubberfaced. Some characters are cold, withdrawn, stoic, unfeeling. That was Kitano's character. He actually did quite a good job. No pun intended, but a performances isn't always just what's at face value.
shareWell,i agree with jappa.There are people that indded are poker-faces or don't sxpresse themselves outright, so some actors can portray them. And i really like Takeshi's way!
shareI read Sergio Leone once said about his star Clint Eastwood: "He has 2 expressions. One with the hat. The other without the hat."
And yeah, real life people aren't exactly Jim Carrey. Most people I know have the same expression or similar expressions all the time. Only Hollywood expects people to be drama queens.
P.S. As if Alain Delon is one to talk about facial expressions...
Alain Delon happy

Rooprect,i had leone's words right in my mind!Great remark!
shareI actually laughed at this.
shareIt is kind of humorous that Delon would say that.
Does his expression change at all in Le Samourai? Wasn't that the point?
hehe delon has only one facial expression
shareSounds like an apt description of Buster Keaton, for instance (alhough that`d probably be counting 2 facial expressions too many); guess he was no good as an actor, either, then.

Delon only has one facial expression, so he must be jealous.
