    Character Evaluation

    Fionn Whitehead is no different from the teenagers the audience sees on the streets of England. It is not a handsome guy at first glance. Him's eyes contain pure natural simplicity and kindness. In real life, Fionn Whitehead looks thin and shy, not handsome, like a sociable teenager. Him does not fight for anything, nor does he envy others' fame and power, but keeps silent and strives to do his every job well   .
    In the movie "Dunkirk", although the core protagonist of the film, Fionn Whitehead, is a piece of fresh meat, Him's performance did not live up to the weight of the movie   . Him, who was electrocuted on the big screen for the first time, fully restored the image of an inexperienced and green soldier. The desire to survive, the thrill of retreat, and the urge to return home were released on Him's face   . Fionn Whitehead's performance is natural and aura   .

      Tell me about my analysis of episode 3, non-existent positivity and real depravity

      Let's talk about my analysis of the third episode, including spoilers, let's
          talk about each character first. Except that Gerri is real in the first scene, the subsequent appearances are all imagined by Tom, there should be no controversy about this.
      Stevie is also real, there should be no...

      The position of the stage play, six indoor plays related to human nature, interspersed with interesting reversals, occasional gothic horror, and still follow the framework of Shakespeare's plays, bold and straightforward mockery and dark humor. However, the level is a bit uneven, and some of the irony is too straightforward. When I raised my expectations and prepared to expect an unexpected shock, I found that it was a bit disappointing. But the talent and acting skills of the two screenwriters are worthy of recognition. Overall 2>3>5>1>4>6.
