Harry for DWD

[genuineconspiracy]

I did mention this before but I want to expand. In MP, at the start, you don’t know yet that Tom is fully aware he is gay and he is trying to appear straight. And in this span of time Harry’s acting comes across as a little bit off, a little too self-aware. If his acting was this the entire way through, you wouldn’t believe his character at all and you wouldn’t be able to consider him a passable actor. You get a lot of the same thing in DWD, in the majority of it, in fact. But there are moments where it is absent. I would point to the dancing scene and several moments toward the end. There’s a clear pattern that you might have picked up (or inferred if you remember what I said before). All of these scenes are ones where he is playing insincerity and deception.

This is the way he is approaching lying in character. I think it works well in MP because it suits the character and the other shoe drops and you can see that he has been a naïve bad liar. I don’t think it works quite as well for DWD, in part because of how much screen time it occupies. I think what he is doing is incredibly natural, it’s how a real person might behave. It is perhaps how Harry really acts when he wants to reveal to an audience that he is lying - a trick he has picked up from his many years in front of the media - after all, his fans know him as a bad liar for a reason. But when it comes to acting, what is real is not necessarily what we are used to seeing on screen.

There are tricks to conveying things on screen which he has never learned. Tricks that viewers are used to and expect. I can’t say if a more natural approach is better or worse, objectively, than something more intentional and contrived. I imagine that it would hold up better in the long run, there were certainly moments watching Harry when I felt like I was watching a very old school actor in a very good classic, but at the same time the skills actors learn have been developed for good reason. But the contemporary situation is that he reads as a bad actor at times as a result. If I were him - or a director he worked with- I would look to develop that natural intuition into something more dimensional. Find the balance.

But what is important to me, as a fan, and as someone who came away from Dunkirk with enormous faith in Harry’s ability to disappear into a role, is that this affect that surprised me so much is a choice and has a clear (and sometimes effective) purpose. From a novice actor, that’s reassuring.

I know we are over signs, but I will be 0% surprised if we get signs that are just like "my bf laid in front of a car to stop me from being here tonight"

By chance, did you end up writing a DWD review, and have you decided if you’re posting? 

I wrote this and I am pretty much done talking about that movie at this point.
