Who's your favourite actor currently? without hesitation: Michael Fassbender. Not just for his impeccable good looks but also for his impeccable acting ability, whether it be playing the genius psychotherapist Carl Jung in A Dangerous Method or the compulsive sex addict Brandon Sullivan in Shame - Michael Fassbender can do it all.
Fish Tank (2009) is when I went "who the hell is that incredible actor, and why have I not seen him before??!" And so my obsession began. I have seen not-so-great movies with Michael Fassbender in them, but I have never seen Michael Fassbender be anything but great.
This is a man who is unafraid to do anything to give an honest performance. He always finds the humanity in every role and plays all of his characters with a reality. If we hate them, we don’t need to know why, we just need to see those eyes and we know who this person is. In a time when “understanding” becomes synonymous with “excusable”, where “villain” means “troubled”, Fassbender finds what actually lies inside of the heart then shows it to us, the outsiders.
You may have seen him in Shame, Hunger, Inglourious Basterds, A Dangerous Method, 300, Jane Eyre, Fish Tank, Prometheus, 12 Year A Slave, X-Men 1st Class. (See above images)
Can i just add that the bromanship between Steve McQueen and Michael Fassbender is so bloody cute i can’t stand it (Michael stars in 3 of McQueen's films)
I mean
really
And lets not forget his love affair with McAvoy!
What are you opinions of Fassbender? Never heard of him? Shame on you! but seriously, if you haven't heard of this fine specimen then check out one of his films, you won't be sorry.
Hm, strangely enough i remember seeing this chap in 300 and wondering whom he was but never cared too much to find out. Then i saw him recently in X-men and i must say, i was blown away,he definitely deserves more recognition and i am most pleased to see a young girl such as yourself, who is aware of raw talent when you see one and not just won over by looks (although you state you think his appearance good i doubt you perceive him a breathtaking? i could be wrong so do correct me). I will definitely watch other films that he stars in. I'm a new fan!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment! Michael Fassbender is without doubt the best in biz right now (in my humble opinion) and very very underrated. In reference to his appearance, i do find him very attractive but his talent definitely aids why i do find him so appealing. And from what ive gathered in watching interviews etc, he seems like such a lovely person. Glad to hear you're now a fan!!
