"A paranoid schizophrenic walks into a bar ..." says Reggie
There is of course a million ways to tell a story about the Kray twins, and/or the London criminal gang culture of the 1960's... is Legend the best way? Who knows. It is a way for sure and it works well enough for me. More 'human' than the Kemp brothers rendition in my opinion.
But Tom Hardy playing Ronnie Kray is simply phenomenal, for me his portrayal IS the film. For me it is an Oscar worthy performance.
The refusal of Ronnie to take his medication is of course true to life for so many. In fact of late it has come to be realised that the refusal to medicate is directly attributable to the 'illness'... 'it' does not want to be lessened or controlled. The human mind is way more complex than a few tablets.
If you want to know what a paranoid schizophrenic, psychopathic and sexually sadistic nihilist is like to deal with, then watch this.
