ITALIANO wrote:Away from Her was the better movie. But all the hatred for Cotillard on this board, and the offensive, dismissive names she's referred to, are more emotional than "emotionally challenging" (and except for Uri's, I still haven't read here an interesting analysis of her performance and what was wrong with it - if ever there was something wrong). It's all so immature, really - like children who can't accept losing and only see things in black and white. Xenophobia, I'm afraid, plays a role too - the French here are adored for cliches, mousse au chocolat or Julie Delpy (!) - but when they dare to win over our favorite, here we are with words like la Jambon etc.
Emotional and intellectual balance is so obviously absent in this discussion. But let's face it, if avril94's acquaintances aren't "very intelligent", Damien and his tiresome supporters have proved once again that they aren't exactly the smartest people in America - and more importantly, they can't lose with dignity. But anyway, I guess that if someone can call Cotillard a "cheap whore" (and nobody even remotely complains or opens an invisible thread), then one day I will be allowed to call Bill Condon an "ugly faggot".
Cotillard´s performance was so intense. She turned out to be "the character" . She was taken by Piaf, like an exorcism session. The famous singer lived and sang through Marion.
