Character Evaluation
Gary Oldman is highly malleable and acts like what he does. He is one of Hollywood's "villain professionals"
. He likes to ruin his appearance, he can follow the elegant British gentleman route, but he has to be ugly. Unlike the cute characters played by Johnny Depp, who are ugly in appearance but kind in heart, Gary Oldman loves to play and can play the dark side of human beings, such as evil, anger, violence, wretchedness, and neuroticism. From the drunken London gangster, to the rock youth who drugged and promiscuous, to the bloodthirsty old earl, to the bad police who likes to listen to the symphony to kill people, even his self-written and directed film "Nil by Mouth" is all A series of swear words .
In "Hannibal", Gary Oldman interprets the distorted and evil crippled metamorphosis in both form and spirit, so unrecognizable that he can't even recognize his skin and eyes. In "Darkest Hour", Gary Oldman's performance has maintained the high level of the past. From appearance, expression, movement to psychology, personality, and emotions, he has completely become British Prime Minister Churchill. It is like reincarnation. .
