The Terence stamp died at the age of 87. The stamp was one of our great classic actors, better known to Dorks like me as general zod in the first two Superman movies. He also gave a pioneer performance in The adventures of Priscilla, queen of the desert and ordered the screen in Lime. There are dozens and dozens of roles that you could draw from the Stamp career to give him the spotlight. No one can say that he was not a world class Taspian who brought gravity, charisma and professionalism to the world of action.
But I’m a weird who loves and watching bizarre movies. When Donald Sutherland died, the first film I thought was the cheesefest of science fiction horror Virus. Likewise, when I read the news from Terence Stamp, the very first film that arose was a killer monkey film called Link.
Terence stamp and its chimpanzee-piece that love fire, link
Link is a 1986 film by director Richard Franklin (Psycho II) Where Terence Stamp plays Dr. Steven Phillip, a Kooky teacher who grew up with a chimpanzee named Link. Link was part of a circus act managed by Phillip’s parents where the enslaved monkey would do astonishing stuff with matches and fire. After the circus, Link became a Phillip servant while the professor began to experiment the monkeys and their intelligent link with humans.
Most of the film does not really focus on the character of Terence Stamp. Link is centered around Jane Chase (Elisabeth Shue), a student invited to be the assistant of Phillip during the summer. She is responsible for taking care of the various monkeys and helping experiences. However, Dr. Phillip seems to disappear for a while and leaves Jane in charge. It also seems that Link takes too much taste for her, or maybe he is trying to get rid of her?
Although Terence Stamp does not obtain a ton of screen time LinkHe makes it absolute the most because each appearance shows him to play a foreigner and even more an aperitif himself. This is proof of the reason why Stamp was such a loved presence in the films: he always did everything, even in a killer chimpanzee film.
Professionals never look at the genre
The fact that Terence Stamp did not telephone in its performance or treaties Link As if it was under his acting skills talked about his respected stature. The fact that man probably remembers most people as a comic strip supervillain speaks of the devotion he has brought to this kind of role. Terence Stamp certainly played the roles he didn’t like, but you couldn’t say when he came to work.
I love what Terence Stamp is in a film like Link. This shows that no matter how absurd, trash or downright distorted a gender project, professional actors give it as much depth and care as any dramatic role. Stamp himself understood this about genre in 1965 when he played in the adaptation of The collector. This dark and twisted thriller would help to propel him into celebrity, and probably led him to appear in the Federico Fellini adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe Toby damn it.
As you can see, Terence Stamp was someone who enjoyed gender dishes like Link. He was a true appreciator of the arts and all their countless possibilities, including films on the chimpanzee of killer (in fact played by an orangutan). His presence will be missed.
