Mark Ruffalo's famous work, and then took a lot of romantic comedies to become famous. However, in the second year of the film's release, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. 33 years old, exposure to death, it is not difficult to think of Steven Jobs. After the line of life and death, Mark had a new understanding of life, and the subsequent films became more and more interesting.
In fact, Mark is not a prolific actor. He has less than 10 movies that can be regarded as main roles, and most of them are only supporting roles, so there are not many people who like him or recognize him. But after reading it, you will feel that this is an actor with self and soul, who will not be far-fetched and strong, but inject soul into each character in an easy-going way.
However, after "The Children Are Well", Mark succeeded Edward Norton as the Hulk in "The Avengers", and the Hollywood commercial blockbuster will naturally attract a lot of attention, perhaps because of this increase in popularity.
Back to the film, the overall description is "middle class crisis + friendship between men and boys". I didn't expect the film to be so good before. Compared with the same genre, "American Beauty" and "Ice Storm" are too exaggerated, "Being a Mother" and "Revolutionary Road" are obsessed with stories, and "Rachel's Wedding" God is a little far away. Only "Come Closer to Me" can make people taste hope in the midst of despair, and experience all kinds of life with all the senses opened.
Since it is an independent film, it is understandable that the attention is not high. But there are always people who can just see, just touch his point, just understand, and then there is the worship of the movie and the reflection on life.
Finally, let's talk about Mark's performance. Personally, I prefer independent productions and romantic comedies before 2005. The film is small and simple, but it can better develop his potential. Big productions after 2006, such as "The 12th House", "What Don't Kill You", "Shutter Island" are more commercial, and have tried different styles, but I don't think it suits him. Fortunately, "The Children Are All Well" has been restored. The original face, (you will know what I am talking about after reading it). Commercial films like "The Avengers" basically don't hold much hope, let's see.
