One of the reasons Falstaff is such a memorable character is that he is so complex: many different attributes jumbled in one fat man. We've all seen Hanks portray qualities like the warmth, love of life, and humor of Falstaff (the things that draw Hal to him); the huge ego masking the inner weaknesses are not generally traits in Hanks' film characters, true--but the guy's a veteran. I'm gonn try to see this.
