There are a few actors who put me off going to see a movie... but I'm not going to tell who. ;-)NUTS4R2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08450069327397561514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260387431722105524.post-418294088382998672012-06-20T15:37:17.844+01:002012-06-20T15:37:17.844+01:00I think I disliked Eddie Redmayne too much to enjo...I think I disliked Eddie Redmayne too much to enjoy this film. I mention this because it's not often that a single actor can disrupt my emotional donations to an interesting tale. <br /><br />Eddie's odd smile did that, though. His odd expressions were never completely readable, and it's HIS face that does this. Not his acting. It's his skin, his musculature, his face. <br /><br />It's odd. Not common. I will be watching for his other works to see if I can confirm this "I don't like his face and it ruins films for me therefore" hypothesis. <br /><br />Charlotte Rampling and Toni Collette are odd faces that I do enjoy. Charles Laughton, too. But he's not odd - he's ugly Fat, short, ungainly. How in the WORLD he becomes such an enjoyable character with so many of my favorite films, I have NO IDEA. <br /><br />Margaret Rutherford's face is enjoyable because it's such a mask at times, and so incredibly expressive others. She's got this nova-smile - like Mt Vesuvius erupting - when she goes into 'full smile' mood. All that flesh, suddenly parting for a smile. But other times, all that cascading flesh goes 'deadpan' or sly twitches, so well conveyed by film closeups.Buffalo Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04396753470835290493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260387431722105524.post-15908168814879034862012-01-03T18:47:06.200+00:002012-01-03T18:47:06.200+00:00Hi there.

Great review. Give mine a look when you can.Dan O.http://www.dtmmr.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
