CREO QUE MI TRADUCCION NO ES CORRECTA o al menos me suena mal.

Aunque sea brevemente, se ven a ellos mismos con el mismo grado de inteligencia, autocrítica, escepticismo o gracia que va a llevar al espectador a entenderlos. ¿?

Some of the most extraordinary moments in Faces are the ones where characters comment on their own feelings and behavior, turn on their own ideas, and reflect on or make jokes about their own foolishness, limitations, and self-deceits. When Richard and Freddie acknowledge to each other how some of the stories of their youth “never happened,” when McCarthy reflects on the emptiness of his life and marriage, when Florence talks about her disappointment with her husband Louie, when Maria admits that she is a “silly goose,” THE CHARACTERS ARE MOMENTARILY AS SMART AND PERCEPTIVE ABOUT THEMSELVES AS A VIEWER IS ABOUT THEM. However briefly, they are seeing themselves with the same degree of intelligence, self-criticism, skepticism, or amusement that a viewer brings to an understanding of them. The performed self is superficial in a profound way. Characters are not their inner states—their thoughts, feelings, intentions, goals, motives, and desires (deep, enduring, simple, unitary qualities that stand still), but their visible and audible expressions of themselves—their words, movements, gestures, tones of voice, facial expressions (floating, shifting, complex, multivalent attributes that change beat by beat). The very length and sprawl of Cassavetes’ scenes, the aspects of his presentation that were criticized as longueurs by the initial reviewers of Faces, Husbands, A Woman Under the Influence, The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, and Opening Night, were Cassavetes’ attempt to put the viewer in the same present-tense, moment-by-moment relationship with experience that his characters inhabit.
