I have noticed how in many ways Swedish and English are close. But learning a few words and learning a language are 2 different things.
Then you go dropping some Icelandic on me. Now THAT I would find a REAL challenge.
Funny you should mention them. Portman got an Oscar. Foster won two.
Ha! Oscars! You really want me to get started on that suckfest of mediocrity?
And more than ever before it is about actors patting each other on their backs over their politically virtuous views. It has very little to do with acting, unless "acting" means "public posturing."
Natalie was indeed good as the crazy ballerina and Jodie as the FBI agent with a childhood sheep trauma. (?!) I never again want to see Jodie gangraped on a pinball machine. That does nothing for me as either entertainment or social enlightenment, so I can not honestly evaluate her performance in that. In the vast majority of their adult flicks they come across as mannered. Their intelligence is clear enough but not the believability. They were so much more natural in their childhood movies: they were better at "playing make-believe."
But this is FLM, so I am just preaching to the choir in preferring child roles.
Once the public knows you as an adorable, smooth skinned, angelic child, they don't accept you as a wrinkley faced adult with a large nose.
You're right, nowadays at least. Or that is at least what the moviemakers BELIEVE of the public, maybe? In olden times we had Jackie Coogan, the young lead in Charlie Chaplin's "The Kid" ... and much later as crazy Uncle Fester in "The Addams Family." Kurt Russell transitioned well from his childhood to his adult roles.
I think I am ready to see Jodie play a crazy grandma.
Look how different the careers of Haley Joel and Emily Osment have turned out to be.
I am not sure what you mean here. They both have kept busy working mostly on TV series and doing voices for video games or animation. I have not really paid attention to them, but how are they so different career-wise?
