    This guy is one of the best actors I've ever seen and he's not even that experienced. He is a treat to watch on the silver screen.

    He should be getting the same buzz that Timothee Chalamet is getting IMO.

      I agree. I saw this before I saw Call Me By Your Name and I initially took out my frustration on the latter film. The latter is showing on more screens, its leads have the "Hollywood look," and the setting is more aesthetically pleasing. I get it. Still, I think CMBYN has an average story with incredible acting from the leads while God's Own Country is more than just a love story - AND its acting is even better, in my opinion. I think that Chalamet gave the best overall performance because he nails being young and vulnerable while also being precocious; but, Josh and Alec have such perfect chemistry. I actually prefer Alec's role because he's tasked with bringing Josh's performance to the next level, but both are great.

      I agree. God's own country is so much better than cmbyn.

    • @quietastronaut
      @quietastronaut 6 лет назад +28

      Messylin For sure. It's a shame because it feels like there can only be one "big" LGBT movie celebrated at a time, not several. CMBYN is somehow getting all of the attention. I personally found it inferior to God's Own Country.

    • @DeepScreenAnalysis
      @DeepScreenAnalysis 6 лет назад +17

      God's Own has been affected by all the Brokeback associations, wheras Call Me seems like an 'original concept' for some reason... that's probably why God's Own has not gotten the same buzz even though its a vastly superior film with superior acting.

    • @quietastronaut
      @quietastronaut 6 лет назад +18

      Messylin That's a good point. At the same time, though, CMBYN is also more "conventional" in terms of it being about two upper-class Western guys and, of course, with a well-known director and actor (Hammer). It just goes to show that popularity doesn't necessarily equals the highest quality.

    Josh O'Connor is adorable in his interviews. Not pretentious at all, and quite open, after his success. What an acting talent!!

    The adorable smile. I love that shyness.

    For anyone who would like to know if Josh can put his money where his mouth is, see Gods Own Country. Young Mr O’Connor proves he has an extraordinarily completely developed talent. His character John Saxby comes to life in such rich emotional detail, and with so little dialogue, as to prove himself the equal of any actor I’ve ever seen on stage or screen.

    • @becks6515

    watching Josh while he was trying to reconcile with 'Gheorghe at the end of God's Country is a marvel. the anguish and pain and hope in his face was heart-breaking

    I admire Josh so so much! He is a brilliant actor, his performance in god's own country was fenomenal, he is also very eloquent and smart, and seems to be so humble and so down to earth.

    The inside of his ears are so weirdly clear of those snirkly structures that I have. I cannot stop staring at it. Beautiful man. Very nice eyes and hands.

    An absolute joy to watch. He played his part so beautifully, realistically. There wasn't a part in the movie that was false. Both actors just wowed me right through.

    Why is goc not nominated for Oscar it's frustrating n sad this story stands taller than CMBYN (p.s. I loved CMBYN too but ) this has more maturity n growth n depth n the tension n in the end positive outcome as hopeful n courageous with realistic approach 🎯

    • @oxziforeal9557

      Was it because it never had a wide release in the US and not enough voting academy members knew about it?

    And re the necessity of ‘Hope’ in art. If there is none, I never understand the point of the story, at the very least the telling of it to the audience should be a seed.....

    • @EscargoTouChaud
      @EscargoTouChaud 5 лет назад

      Well, Mulholland Drive is one example of a film that ends leaving me sad and reminding me of how many tragic fates there are; characters we care about for whom it does not end well, but I'd still recommend this to everyone.

    I don't think he'll have to worry about unemployment. He should watch out for overexposure, however ... I've heard him answer these same questions the same way from twenty different interviewers. It's okay to turn down an in interview, Josh.

      Although there are elements of "posh" in his normal speaking voice, there are also clear signs of the region he comes from - Gloucestershire. A brilliant actor and a great personality.

    Great actor. However, I find him more than a little disappointing as himself. Same way I would describe Meryl Steep.
