In Reply to: RE: Blanchett....is a FAR better actress than Mirren...IMHO not even in the same league...(nt) posted by TWB on October 05, 2007 at 12:47:32
Been watching her since her Royal Shakespeare Company Days and think she's a wonderful actress.
Follow Ups:
thus far, she has tackled more diverse projects than I think Mirren has....Mirren while she has had some noteable roles has not in my opinion "pushed the envelope"....If you look @ Mirren's career...much of it is in TV...Blanchett has I think stepped out taken on some demanding roles...especially for a woman her age! Not that it makes me an expert...but acting was my major in college. Given Blanchett's age and what she has already done....if she continues as she has....she is in for a career to rival that of a Hepburn, Fonda or Streep...the last two being works in progress still...
would reverse?
It isn't a "either one or the other" situation, anyhow, is it?
Room for many kinds of dramas and actorly interpretations.
So if I had to choose, I simply wouldn't do it. I choose both.
As much as I enjoyed it, I thought there was a lot of poppycock in that first Elizabeth, but Blanchette was amazing.
I can find things to rpaise and things to fault in both productions.
Since GO has Clive I'll have to be there opening weekend. Based on the trailer my expectations are not high. I don't judge movies by their previews, however...it's safer that way. We shall see.
It's not a beauty contest and it isn't a talent contest.
2 great performers is better than one.
But every body is entitled to dumbness...
... I have employed it myself on more than one occasion.
But don't tell anyone!
