Tom Hanks: The Hollywood legend hates some of his films – Thomas “Tom” Jeffrey Hanks, his full name, is without a doubt one of those actors to love. The now 66-year-old is one of those legendary actors who have made it from Hollywood to every corner of the world with their films. Above all because of his incredible acting talent, his rousing charisma along with his impressive versatility and strong character portrayals.
Almost every film Tom Hanks has made has been a box office hit. Think back to the incredible Band of Brothers miniseries that Tom Hanks executive produced with Steven Spielberg. If you just look at his film vita alone – with strips like “Forrest Gump”, “Apollo 13”, “Saving Private Ryan”, “Cast Away” or “The Green Mile” – it is not surprising that Hanks was already in 2002 with was honored with the AFI Life Achievement Award for lifetime achievement.
“Okay, let’s admit it. We’ve all seen some movies we hate.”
But as much as the media and millions of fans celebrate him, Tom Hanks himself also looks at his films with a critical eye. Because in his opinion, not all of his hit films are popular, at least when it comes to himself. In an interview with “The New YorkerIn any case, he was harsh on his career and found very clear words.
Tom Hanks: “Ok, let’s admit it. We’ve all seen some movies we hate. I’ve been in films I hate. You’ve seen some of my films and hate them.” The Hollywood legend revealed the five steps—Hanks calls them “five Rubicons”—that every filmmaker takes to decide how a film will be viewed.
“If the movie doesn’t make money, your career may end up in the bin sooner than you’d like.”
According to Tom Hanks, the first Rubicon is when a “yes” is given to a new film. Hanks: Your fate is sealed. You will be in this film”. The second Rubicon follows when you see the finished film. As Hanks explains, “Either it works and it’s the movie you wanted to make, or it doesn’t work and it’s not the movie you wanted to make.” The third Rubicon, according to Hanks, is the reaction of critics.
Rubicon number four is the film’s financial success: “If the film doesn’t make any money, your career may end up in the bin sooner than you would like. That’s just a fact. That’s the business.” The last and fifth Rubicon is simply time. Because a film can change its perception over time.
Although Tom Hanks revealed in the interview that he doesn’t like some of his films, he unfortunately didn’t want to reveal in detail which ones they are.
