Most insane Rebuy order ever hahah.
But also just in perspective of where it all began to the insane talent that came out of that. He is so so SOOOO scary and strange in Skin, he beefed up for it, he got fake teeth, colored contacts, whole body covered in tattoo's with which he had to go out into the public bc they ran out of money and couldnt afford the printing of New ones so he was STUCK with these tattoos for like days..
Its a really well done movie (obviously, i promised myself i wouldnt just buy anything, only the ones i really really do genuinely enjoy watching and that have good rewatch potential) and im so like in awe because not only in Skin but also in Half Man Jamie is just not Jamie.
Like hes one of the very very little amount of Actors who completely sell a character to you.
I often watch things and if i know the actors i start noticing patterns in their acting which always takes me out a bit. Or they are too much themselves and the character they try at feels weak and half hearted..
But Jamie Bell (and a few other's) can completely convince you that thats a random Person whos life your looking into and the face im looking at is not actually that actor.
So yeah totally go an watch Skin it's a new fave.
The Real life Story is intense and so so important.
And same as All of us strangers it's a Real heart project for Bell.
I cant even do a Ranking of his stuff because all my faves share the first place. Hallam Foe, Billy Elliot, All of us strangers, Shining Girls, Skin and Retreat and of courseeee Half Man.
(I still have a few things to watch and i cannot wait)
But yeah, def enjoying it when the current celeb crush can actually really fucking act lmfao. And i dont find his stuff bleak at all, I find it very selective and those projects are just simply not to everyones taste and thats fine.
But Rocketman and Filmstars dont die in liverpool really are worth a watch as well.
Everything he does is so carefully choosen, he's not the taking all i can get or having to do it for money type of actor. Hes the "im lucky i get to pick and choose so i choose wisely" type.
Also kudos to him for hating how that fantastic four movie turned out and when asked about its fail he goes "Well it's the producer and the director and a whole bunch of other peoples job to make a movie good too" - which is so 100% correct and often all the blame somehow falls on the actors?! Which is like insane. There are so many people involved and if some parts dont work well together the whole thing gets fucked.
