The Australian actor has taken on Leon Trotsky in Frida, the Marquis De Sade in Quills, and, crucially, pianist David Helfgott in his breakthrough film Shine, which won him a Best Actor Oscar in 1997.

  5. Conspiracy Theory -- Conspiracy Theories
    Conspiracy theory is "deconstructive history" because it is in rebellion against official explanations and against orthodox journalism and orthodox history. Conspiracy theory is radically empirical: tangible facts are the focus, especially facts that the standard stories try to overlook. There is a ruthless reduction down to what is without doubt real, namely, persons. Conspiracy theory presumes that human events are caused by people acting as people do, including cooperating, planning, cheating, deceiving, and pursuing power. Thus, conspiracy theories do not focus on impersonal forces like geo-politics, market economics, globalization, social evolution and other such abstract explanations of human events.
