Re: Invictus

You could say that, but I wouldn't. I like seeing unknown actors in those kinds of roles because they don't have any baggage. They have the opportunity to become the characters they play.

Morgan Freeman is one of the most well-known actors in the world; the movie will always be about him. Just look at this thread; every post is about Morgan Freeman.

Eh, I disagree.

For one, this thread is about him because we're all arguing with you about it, lol.

Two, he's a well known actor because he's a HELL of an actor. Joaquin Phoenix was a well known actor and millions of viewers bought him as Johnny Cash. Half the reason I WANT to see this movie is because I know Freeman will be fantastic BECAUSE he's Morgan Freeman. Like I said, he's not an unknown because he's so damn good... I KNOW he won't botch the role.

At any rate, we just have two different philosophies on this, so we'll have to agree to disagree, but regardles, I think this is gonna be a really good movie.

Unknown actors don't have the experience that a Freeman does either. An unknown is more likely to butcher a role vs an experienced actor.

Personally, I don't feel Freeman has any "baggage" he will bring to the part. Also, I don't go to a movie thinking the actor that is portraying a person is all about them. I go for the whole picture and what that actor brings to the other parts of the movie.
