But why is her filmography hit-and-miss? That’s my question.
ReplyApril 30, 2020 at 7:58 pm #1203456519I do think, at least for me, that she left the biggest impression on me in terms of the cast (I think my knowledge of Song Kang ho helped me expect the great performance we got from him). As has been said, the combo of her looks and her character arc and performance all made for great publicity tools. Even if she was my favorite, ALL of the women were fantastic in this film.
Yeah, she definitely left the biggest impression on me too. She was definitely my favorite. It could have been so easy for the character to feel like a stereotype or caricature but Cho really gave an excellent performance, and I think the best performance in the film. I feel like she honestly should have been nominated and even won an Oscar, she was that good. Of course the whole cast was great but it’s just something about Cho’s performance that really made her a standout in an all-around excellent ensemble.

I just don’t understand why it was nominated for makeup & hair and costume design. It was just so simple to me. The only real costume he wore was the red suit which to me was nothing special and the makeup and hair literally could have been done by the actor himself. It’s really the makeup & hair that bothers me.

Despite having the least amount of screen time of the three, the film is ultimately about Virginia Woolf. We open and close the movie with her and her words and her life and her work, specifically Mrs. Dalloway, literally influences the lives of the women that come after her, in this case Moore’s and Streep’s characters. Her presence was felt throughout the film whereas I can’t say the same for the other two women.

I’ve watched numerous films where supporting characters are felt throughout the film yet they were considered supporting characters both to me and the general public. He was great in the film of course but I truly don’t get it. Jodie Foster was the one and only lead. This wasn’t a movie with co-leads. By this logic isn’t Alicia Vikander in Ex Machina a leading actress? I know, random example, but it’s what came to my mind that was similar.
The only legitimate actor or actress to win in a leading role that had the least amount of screen time of the major characters yet was the true lead in their given film was Nicole Kidman in The Hours.

Who’s performance did you like?

I found her to be great from what I’ve seen in Six Feet Under and also in American Horror Story. I loved her in season 1, 2, and 3. She was also great in Joker despite having very little to do.
