Character Evaluation
With beautiful facial features, and green eyes that make people unforgettable at a glance, Asa Butterfield’s first impression is that he is full of integrity, but he always gives people different feelings whether in front of the camera or in reality. For example, in the camera, he sometimes opened his eyes and explored the world curiously, and sometimes turned into a black-bellied boy. The multi-faceted personality and the eyes full of story may be the reason why the directors see infinite potential from Asa Butterfield. In addition, his image on the screen is not a lively, cute, naughty boy, but his mature and steady performance has created a deeply rooted character. In the movie "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas", his performance is calm and delicate; compared with his peers, he "has a detailed knowledge structure" and is better in understanding and grasping the role. In the movie "Hugo", he presented a natural mechanically controlled dullness, sensitivity and inner passion in a clever way.
