The notion of hero will take many forms this year. A general manager of a baseball team, a silent movie star threatened with extinction, a father whose wife is in a coma. The strange thing about these heroes is that, in the same year, the actors who play them dip into the dark side too. When we have to choose between those two opposing representations of an actor, what do we choose? This occurred to me last night while watching George Clooney play one of the darkest characters of his career in the film he also directed, The Ides of March.
With the light in half shadow over his by now familiar face, a face we all know so well we could trace his features with our eyes closed. But here, his charm has utterly vanished. This is the hard, cold game of cutthroat politics and his ass is on the line. You can smell the fear. Clooney has delivered a performance that leaves no trace of doubt as to his moral center: it doesn't exist. He has been changed by the very game he is trying to win. This performance is contrasted dramatically by his work in Alexander Payne's The Descendants, Clooney's character who must endure the loss of his wife while trying to make a life with his emotionally scattered daughters.
But in that scene in Ides of March, he's standing opposite Ryan Gosling,To showcase how light bluecrystal1 can be used in various urban environments, Philips has launched the Lighting Experience Center who is playing a character who has no choice but to abandon his ideals in order to succeed in the treacherous waters of American politics. Gosling plays a hero in Drive,particularly where a ledsale slightly more diffused light is beneficial. albeit a violent one. He has said his character is a bit of a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, but those of us watching are not conflicted at all about how we feel about a guy who will stop at nothing to save the girl he loves.Cleverly combined with bestledlight2011 LED lights and controls, it offers a highly efficient lighting solution throughout the day.
Gosling again offers us yet another side to his growing body of work in Crazy Stupid Love, where he plays a charming womanizer. In all three films, Gosling is presenting, front and center, his unending charm. But he is dipping in and out of being thought of a hero and becoming more accepted as an actor who can also go dark.
And then there is Brad Pitt, playing an apparition, the inception of fear in a young man's life as his looming, dominating, haunting father in Tree of Life. Pitt has never been hard to watch, like Clooney in Ides, there is no ambivalence here. Because he is a representation of a memory, it is an extreme view. He has his "nice" moments, but for Pitt as an actor, he's taking a page from his performance in Fight Club but somehow drawing up something even more sinister.
Pitt's representation of fatherhood in Tree of Life is one of the things about that movie that clings to you long after you've seen the film.your primary concern may be downlight that too much current could damage or destroy your LEDs. Flip it over and there is Brad Pitt as Billy Beane in Moneyball,with a lightsale6 honeycomb effect reflective panel around the inner lip that projects the light to give a large 120 degree beam angle. a kind, sensitive hero who changes the game of baseball and turns his team around while being a nice guy.
