cate blanchett is a babe
gwyn, she's ok

i will say, blanchett and law in that movie make paltrow and damon look very normal persony. paltrow is so pretty in general though; she looks kind of whatever in that movie, maybe that's part of why i didn't like it.

On the other hand TMR was pretty bold about its homosexual subject matter, and I remember the audience uncomfortably rustling when Damon asks Law if he can join him in the tub.

Jude Law went through that period when he made Gattaca, Wilde, and TNR that made him look dangerous and sexy; then he fucked his kid's nanny and became human.

haha i was afraid of sounding predictably self-righteous but i do kind of feel jude law's soul caught up to his face or something
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 29 December 2010 17:55 (thirteen years ago) link
TMR is a good movie and one of damon's best roles. not read highsmith but it's in the same class as the other highsmith adaptations i've seen, wenders's and hitchcock's.

I am not averse to Matt Damon, although I suspect that, like so many movie stars, his success is as much based on an intangible charisma as on acting ability. That's ok by me, since I am just as much smitten by charisma as the next guy, and this has been true of movie stars since the silent era.
I must say I am a bit surprised at all the love shown here, after reading so many ilxors slag off on Good Will Hunting, consistently and in multiple threads, as if it were one of the greatest abominations ever foisted on an innocent public. Clearly, he has redeemed himself.

and remember max, no films you have to read.
TMR is classic 'well-intentioned' liberal homophobia, and Jude Law is great in it, but I'm sure this is on an Untalented Mr Minghella thread somewhere.
