Really though

So the guy played a doctor, a lawyer, a rentboy, a geek, a clerk-turned-assassin, a chef, a mutant with superpowers, a soldier, a faun... I could go on, but seriously? Most times in fandom you need to imagine the characters in these situations. This guy leaves nothing to the imagination, he just gives it all to you. No effort required. Wow

Haha, I hadn't really thought of it that way. :) I know some of those, but what are all the movies you're referencing, out of curiosity?

[kianspo]

LOL. Which ones are you curious about in particular? Otherwise, I'd just be retelling this page. ;)

[lec90]

Haha, well, I'm familiar with Narnia, Penelope, Wanted, X-men, and Becoming Jane. So I suppose the real thing is: would you recommend any of the others off that page?

Atonement is a must, AND The Last King of Scotland. I just saw the latter today and it blew my mind. Everyone's been talking about Forest Whitaker's performance there and it's superb, no question, but James is incredible in it. Absolutely amazing.

[lec90]

I'll have to add both of those to my mental list. I've heard of Atonement (been slightly nervous to see it since people seem to project that it's an intense film), and I just got back from a trip to Scotland, so the second one seems appropriate!

[kianspo]

Well... neither of those are light watching. Both of them are intense, and Atonement actually pales in comparison with the LKoS. In my opinion, they're worht viewing, but they aren't romcoms, that's for certain.

I actually want to hunt it down and buy it now. I loved it. I literally wasn't prepared with how good that film was.

[kianspo]

Yeah, that's the thing. I don't think the adorable factor changes from role to role. :D

[kianspo]

Yes, he's like a naughty little puppy, cocky and brazen, and running away from the one thing he hates only to become trapped in the same thing only much worse. Plus, his whole relationship with Amin is a toxic love affair gone terribly wrong, and it's terrifying, but you can't look away.
