Brad is Greatest Actor Alive.... just too pretty to get deserved accolade

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2008)

I have never been more disgusted with the academy awards than this year simply because Brad Pitt is among the top 2 actors in the world and never gets any credit. Daniel Day Lewis is a fantastic actor, probably no. 2, but with the exception of Gangs of New York, all his films are boring, boring, boring. I watch them to see the genius of the man which is undeniable, but he gets such good press as he realises the best way to get good press is to starve them of anything to publish about you, so when you show your greatness, and he is great; you get the maximum effect.
Brad Pit is better, he makes watchable, exciting , emotive, INTERESTING movies. I enjoyed this film cover to cover. I don't want to say much about this film because the truth is that if you don't watch it, you will miss the only film to recreate "the shawshank effect" in the last 10+ years and as such YOU ARE NOT WORTHY. (the shawshank effect is the feeling of spiritual elation one feels after watching the shawshank redemption the second time, as you can only fully appreciate it on a repeat viewing)
The reason Brad is shunned I suspect is people just can't stand how good he is, as well as he is so good looking, and is with one of the most beautiful women on the planet AND he is filthy rich etc etc etc. It is a shame jealousy can interfere with the appreciation of a master at work in his art form.
I love Viggo but his performance in Eastern Promises and the film itself are not a patch on the assassination of Jesse.... Also I most add Casey Affleck with his performance, will make you want to end the Affleck family line, but only because his performance as the coward Robert ford is so good. He was exceptional. (Shame his brother put out such ill will into the world prior to his award winning performance)
Brad I don't want your babies, but I am a fan for LIFE!
