Well, I'm not quite sure what to make of ...Hi!<br /><br />Well, I'm not quite sure what to make of this performance. Firstly, I think this is a great character, with many powerful scenes. However, Joaquin is not my favourite actor, and I think there was a part of me that really wanted to hate this performance. I think he had really great moments, especially with Hoffman, but I think he overplayed some aspects of his character. Especially at the beginning, his posture, and the way he moves, really did not pay off for me, and some of his yelling are also too over the top for me. Maybe I need to rewatch it, as this is just a first impression for me, I don't know. I think his quieter scenes payed off better for me. I think for the moment I would give a 3.5, or maybe even a 4. Maybe all it needs is really just some time and a second a round. I liked the film itself, and I preferred Hoffman, he was brilliant. I hope either him or Waltz will win, because Tommy Lee Jones' perf is just nothing special. Great, and detailed review by the way. <br />Oh, and Louis, I managed to predict the outcome of the 73 supporting field. For this, may I request a review of Robert Carlyle in Trainspotting for 1996 supporting? :)<br /><br />AlohaLezliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04444861894143771110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-19100443509488377702013-02-04T11:34:55.718-05:002013-02-04T11:34:55.718-05:00Anonymous: I actually feel rather Raul Julia/Willi...Anonymous: I actually feel rather Raul Julia/William Hurt about the two.
