Ben Barnes. Форум сайта Benbarnes.ru

Ben Barnes, who is one of the characters within Rory’s story, does an incredible job during the flashback scenes he is in. His story is the most emotional in the film, and he gives a brilliant performance.

Most impressive, though, are Barnes and Arnezeder who bring a tremendous amount of emotional weight to the film. Most of their story is told without dialogue (only Irons’ narration), but the two have no problem communicating the range of emotions their characters experience.

Ben Barnes, who plays Irons’ younger self, also gives an excellent performance. Not only does the English actor perform with a solid American accent, but Barnes also brings sincerity to the writer role that Cooper seems to lack. For example, in the scenes where Barnes is writing his novel, he types furiously on his typewriter, reads his manuscript or is editing. Meanwhile, parallel scenes where Cooper stares blankly at his laptop screen feel flat.
Though Cooper does a decent job in his role, he sometimes comes across as more of a petulant child rather than a writer. In one scene, he abandons his writing in favor of being with his wife. In another scene, he begs his father for money. Cooper’s performance as Rory is believable, but Barnes’ performance and story resonate more with the viewer.

I also need to mention Ben Barnes and Nora Arnezeder, who play characters within the story-within-a-story. Their war-time romance is so intriguing and their characters so heartfelt and captivating, I almost wish the movie had been all about them, without the current-day plot.

I was very surprised they needed Ben really, but then I thought, given the time constraints, it was better to get somebody else to play me! When I saw the movie I was delighted because Ben somehow had a lot of the mannerisms that I have. I could believe it was me! It’s a tough one in movies to get that right and I felt my performance was enhanced by what Ben had done.
