    Character Evaluation

    Colin Firth has a typical English gentleman temperament   . When it comes to the appearance of a gentleman, almost everyone will think of him. Even in the British actor scene where competition is fierce and "gentlemen" are everywhere, Colin Firth is still special. He seems to be of a certain standard, with a restrained expression, a rigorous look, and even a smile is restrained, he is full of British, especially a gentleman ). 
    Colin Firth's performance style is not only different from the typical celebrity performance, but also different from the mainstream experiential performance. Its essence is a low-carbon performance. He is good at portraying complex characters, good at reproducing and expressing the most authentic elements of human nature, good at showing the awkward inner character through delicate and subtle external movements, and has formed an alternative comedy performance style marked by cold humor. . His performance has a special power that shocks people. In his acting career, the performance method he created is an artistic treasure worthy of in-depth study. In the movie "The King's Speech", he not only had to imitate stuttering in a fake and real way, but also used facial expressions to show the anxiety, embarrassment and fear of George VI in a special situation. In the movie "Girl with a Pearl Earring", he vividly showed Yang Vermeer's unconcealed passion for Greet on the screen through facial expressions. In the movie "Single Man", he uses a silent and introverted performance to interpret George's widowed pain, which is truly touching .
