Stand-up comedian Patton Oswalt has talked about the quintessential Nick Nolte moment that you can see in every Nick Nolte movie. Oswalt grimaces and mumbles in a Nolte-esque way, something along the lines of "awwwwgeeeeessssawwwwhelll" As Oswalt puts it, Nick Nolte has a moment in every movie where he just can't take it anymore.
I couldn't help but chuckle when, during Hotel Rwanda, Nolte, playing a beleagured U.N. officer, does indeed have one of these moments. He's told that he can have no troops to defend the Rwandans and suddenly, you see on his face that he just can't take it anymore. However, he doesn't make a sound. Is this a step toward a more mature, nuanced Nick Nolte? I like to think so.
