Death of a Salesman

I felt Dustin Hoffman was a good choice of actor for the main character - he does well playing the main character, the thoughtful yet curmudgeonly man (Willy Loman). Willy's vocalised constant stream of thoughts was something I could relate to myself. This is a slow paced film but its reasonably good I thought as a character focussed drama. The setting the film is mostly in, the family house (mostly), is quite sparse and I felt it had the look of a theatrical production, stage show/play perhaps.

I seem to have difficulty getting behind filmed plays between the rapid dialogue and theatrical gestures. That being said, the acting here can't be denied, nor can the story itself. Hoffman was perfect as Willy Loman. "How do they whip cheese?"
