8. Gosling was a small method
Throughout the movie, Gosling covered his Baby Blues and wore brown contact lenses for James GarnerThe famous actor who played the older Noah had brown eyes. While Gosling was very interested in continuity, Garner, who died in July 2014, really did not. According to Cassavetes, Gosling also approached the older Thespian on accents, which led to a funny awkward conversation.
“(Ryan) says: ‘I thought of accents. There are all types of South Carolina -Acaclers – it’s more countryside and this and that. (Ryan) says: ‘Ok, I guess I will carry contacts. And he says: “Do what you want, children. Ryan looked at me and said,” Shut up, don’t even say a word. “So it’s just an example of two extremely different types of actors.
Another example of Gosling’s method that acted a little too far was his suggestion that they burn down Noah’s house as a metaphor for his feelings. “He had come to me and said,” Why can’t I burn the house? “” Kassavetes revealed, “I would say,” because I don’t even know what it means. “And he would say,” Clean my fire! “”
Gosling’s idea did not make the last incision.
