You should have the opportunity to be more than one person with different people because you have that within you. It's not like you're faking it. If everyone knows you so well and can always get a hold of you, then you're stuck to this thing that people think you are. You should have the opportunity to reinvent yourself. Because you do. Naturally.

Another Saturday with the Yellow Handkerchief!

Okay yes today is Saturday and I didn't really do as much running around as I usually do.
but I did watch "The Yellow Handkerchief" again.

For those of you who don't know the story is about three strangers, Kristen Stewart (Martine), Eddie Redmayne (Gordy) and William Hurt (Brett). They all are in Louisiana traveling to nowhere in particular, and an event of situations and stories of their pasts of loneliness brings them together and they learn to accept each other in the end.

Gosh I love that movie!
The very first time I saw it, I couldn't stop laughing at how Kristen sounded with the accent.

My favorite part of that movie is when they all introduce themselves in the car.
And she says, "I'm from been living here my whole life."
With that statement and that accent, I just couldn't not laugh.
(double negative, I know)

In this film I would give Eddie R. an "A"
I feel he had to deliver and push out this character to a full extent and he did. His character made you think about certain things and wonder why he did the things he did. He of all the characters I feel had to play his character the strongest or the movie would have failed it's purpose.

I would give William H. a "B"
He has always been an amazing actor from day one. Seeing him in this movie was a bit of a shock, because I haven't seen him in many projects lately. He played his character well. His character Brett was one who always looked at the things in life as a consequence no matter what happened. He always felt he was better helping something, by just leaving it and never returning, but in all truth he wasn't making things better when he left and situations weren't handled. He only made it worse.

I'd give Kristen S. an "A-"
She delivered her character as well. and I feel maybe she was the second strongest character in the movie. I feel she struggled a bit with the accent but her performance overall was to a tee. Yes she's done many movies where her performances were so much stronger. In all of her movies, I honestly think her strongest was Bella in "New Moon."

Overall the movie is great, i would recommend everyone who is anyone see it if they already haven't and if they have then watch it again.
