Sleepy beast

I feel that when I look at the labels of "Cult" and "violence", or watch friends who were previously in the shadow of A Clockwork Orange and Kubrick, I will be disappointed to see this film. There is no bloody, cheerfulness, no shocking endings, only endless monologues. We won’t resonate much with this British legend. But Tom Hardy's performance can be said to be the biggest attraction of this movie.

Tom Hardy's role before acting in this movie was mainly a supporting role, an actor who didn't even add a profile picture on IMDB. Debut very late, less than ten years. Earlier movie works include Black Hawk Down (Black Hawk Down), Star Trek: Nemesis (Star Trek-Nemesis)... I just finished watching Dot the i today... It will not make you very impressive. character of. Until last year's Rocknrolla, Tom Hardy was the second male number, handsome Bob, "my, my, not just a pretty face." It's a pity, it's a bit of a vase. What shocked me was that he had such a work so soon, and he was the protagonist of a biographical film. Many young and beautiful male partners may have always been male partners. If you want to stand out, you must sacrifice your image and do your best.

Tom Hardy is 32 years old this year. The only thing that shows that he is still young in this movie is the scene of Michael Petersen at the cash register in his early years. After that, his dramatic beard, exaggerated muscles, walking tone, unpredictable temperament, and low roar like a beast. Tom Hardy's acting skills supported the entire movie, and he had to admit that every expression and movement of him seemed to tighten his muscles and did his best. The audience who watched this film also had to hold their breath at all times, waiting for his sudden eruption.

Such a role feels very contradictory. It seems that it is difficult for us to peek into the protagonist’s heart through the director’s instructions. However, with Bronson’s confession and clown performance, we will feel that his personality is simple but just a desire to become famous. It's just a beast with well-developed limbs and simple mind. "You're a very sweet man, Charlie," Irene said, "but you've got no ambition." Is he really ambitious? Very contradictory, only he knows it.

Tom Hardy is like a living statue in this movie, no matter if he is smeared with mud, blood, black paint, or...butter (cream?)... they can't restrain his light! For this role, he gained 100 pounds of muscle, stayed in prison for a few months, and also racked up naked many times... Seeing him trapped in a cage with blood and gnashing his teeth, I completely forgot his former image. .

It's a simple movie, just like Bronson, a simple movie.

(Because I watched it completely naked, I won’t comment on the plot. The accent of Tom Hardy’s speech is really muddy... The whole film I heard most clearly is You fucking CUNT! =. = Anyway, I think he will definitely be popular in the future. Ha ha)
