Joaquin Phoenix


Hey, doesn't anyone here thinks that Joaquin was very sweet in the movie? :) Except me, of course..?Ha, just kidding, but i think he added some flavour to the movie. I am interested to see if anyone else remarked his performance. What is your favourite scene with him from the movie? My personal one is after he kills Erica and then he gets into his car...the light turns off and you can see a tear coming down facing his lips...I thought that was so incredible. I really think Willie loved Erica, but she could not face up with what he really was doing..Can't actually blame her, she's got a good point, but she should have seen that the guy really cared about her. Him crying was one of the proofs that he cared about Erica.

I'll also watch anything with Phoenix in it - he's one of the best actors out there today - and it bugs me he will never get the accolades someone like Daniel Day-Lewis gets because he rejects the "establishment" of things. Such a free and talented spirit. He comes by it honestly by the way he was raised. I so love this man. Can't say I liked The Yards too much ... it dragged and was like a Shakespearian tragedy. I also didn't like how witless and dependent all the women were. But Joaquin Phoenix nailed his role like only he can.
