James Franco mochte ich ja schon seit ner halben Ewigkeit. Ich fand seinen Auftritt in Spiderman echt super - das war glaub ich auch das erste Mal, dass er mir als Schauspieler auffiel. Dann hab ich letztes Jahr "Plant der Affen-Prevolution" mit ihm in der Hauptrolle gesehen und war einfach hin und weg. Und ich wage mich zu erinnern dass er mit Anne Hathaway 2011 die Oscars moderiert hat.
Genug der Vorrede. James Franco ist mir ab heute noch ein Stückchen mehr ans Herz gewachsen. Denn auf seinem Blog schrieb er heute einen Beitrag mit dem Namen "Kristen Stewart the Queen".
Es hat selten jemand, der so in der Öffentlichkeit steht und nicht Robert Pattinson heißt^^ oder mit ihr an einem Film gearbeitet hat so viele positive Worte über ihre Person veloren.
Ausschlaggebend war James Franco´s Kinobesuch von SWATH gestern. Und da muss er wohl ziemlich geflasht gewesen sein.
Hier nur mal ein kleiner Ausschnitt aus seinem Beitrag via
kstewartfans:
In a way, the film could also be said to parallel Stewart's rise to stardom. Snow
White is imprisoned in a tower for about a decade -- let's say from age
eight to 18. From the looks of the place, I doubt she received much in
the way of nourishing food or toiletries, let alone an education, so it
is a little strange to see spry, beautiful, intelligent Kristen Stewart
emerge from the dungeon. Of course, this is a fairy tale and we can
allow that the princess is beautiful. These are Medieval conditions, so
even if she hadn't been in prison, she'd probably look like crap from
the lack of modern tooth brushing apparatuses and moisturizers alone. So
we can assume that this is our version of beauty, standing in for an
older version. But the idea that she is the chosen one, fit to rule the
kingdom without any preparation or training, is hard to accept. This
unearned entitlement is the same issue that bedevils the Twilight
stories: these kids don't have to work to become beautiful, immortal,
intelligent vampires; they just need to get bitten. Some might argue
that Stewart -- or any young upstart buoyed by the surge of a successful
franchise, album, or Internet meme -- is just as unjustly charmed. Some
could say she had a lucky break when she was cast in Twilight and then
rose to international stardom based less on her own skills than on the
success of the project. But, whereas Snow White would more than
likely be inarticulate, diseased and frail after being confined in a
tower for 10 years, Kristen Stewart landed Twilight after years of
working with some of the best directors in the business (David Fincher,
Sean Penn). She actually does deserve the crown.
To me, then,
the images of Snow White as a leader of immense strength, charging on
horseback across the beach at the head of an army, has less to do with
her character and more to do with the actress who plays her. Stewart
has braved more scrutiny of her private life than most presidents. She
has taken big career risks by doing films like Welcome to the Rileys,
The Runaways and On the Road (nudity, I hear). She has worked her ass
off. Whatever Snow White may be, Kristen is a warrior queen. Give her
the crown.
