I have a begrudging respect for Adam Sandler, Seth McFarlane, and Sacha Baron Cohen, because while they're all comedians known for their low-hanging fruit, cheap offensive humor, and physical comedy that relies on frat boy antics...
Adam Sandler is actually a very talented actor, and I hear he's a very nice guy, and his whole bad movies schtick is literally just him money laundering from Hollywood, which I fully condone. Seth McFarlane is a Trekkie and a big nerd, and he's smarter than he acts and I get the sense that all the man wants to do is sing. And Sacha is a satirist who pushes boundaries in interesting ways, and he can also sing pretty well.
I kinda like that specific genre of man. You know how to make it rich in the entertainment industry, but you're smart enough to use that money and fame to make the things you really want.
For Adam Sandler, it was Uncut Gems and Leo. For Seth it was his own version of Star Trek (the nerd, god bless him). And for Sacha, I don't know what he's up to at all, but I'm sure he's got something funky going on. Maybe he makes sock puppets out of priceless antique clothing from the 14th century, I don't know.
Of fucking course Sacha Baron Cohen will come out swinging for Amy Schumer
That said, remember the time Sacha Baron Cohen labeled a Palestinian non-profit employee a "terrorist" in his film, Bruno?
And that's not even covering the islamophobic caricatures the man had created in his career (Ali G). He has always been an anti-Palestinian islamophobic asshole.
I was thinking I would make a video where I just point out the little bits that I like.
As in, instead of just pointing out random things, I point out the bits that I like or thought were cute or funny (which is basically the entire movie so it would be like an hour long)
Because I have loved this movie since I was a kid and even now I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. Like, I was re-watching it last night and thinking ''Why did everybody hate this movie? This is great!''
(all of this is my opinion and if I get any ppl disagreeing with me.... let's just agree to disagree :3)
Because lets just count the many, many blessings the 2012 movie gave us:
-Suddenly and Suddenly (reprise)
-Hugh Jackman's beautiful falsetto
-Samantha Barks, the queen of all queens, amazing singer, the list goes on
-Russell Crowe's brilliant acting and ACCURATE voice for the character.
-Aaron Tveit, beautiful singer, the most book-accurate Enjolras I can think of.
-Eddie Redmayne's accurate depiction of Marius's character, and also I don't care what anybody says because his singing may sound a bit like a muppet but his singing is epic
-That one time there was a cow in the background
-Sacha Baron Cohen and Helena Bonham Carter's existence
-Amanda Seyfried, a real-life Disney Princess and awesome singer as well.
-Fra Fee and Killian Donelly's existence and also beautiful singing.
-and did I even mention the SETS and the COSTUMES my goodness they are amazing.
-Hadley Fraser
-Enjolras's hair
-George Blagden, beautiful singer and enjoltaire shipping legend <3
-The cinematography in the battle scenes MY GOODNESS IT WAS AWESOME
-The featurettes and behind the scenes thingies
-Literally I could go on for HOURS which I why I was thinking of making the video, so I will stop now, but only for now.
-Daniel Huttlestone being the awesomest and cutest gavroche ever
Previous conversation inspired me to do some 'stache studies.
Featuring authentic bristles from the era, and re-created taches for period shows. Kotter and Declan practically have the same suit, which is oh-so-hideous in both cases.
Looking at these photos, I can't get over how large AT's mustache is. It's one of the larger ones in the assortment I've pulled.
I just love the goofiness of it... he can pull it off, too, but I'm glad it's not a permanent look. Paired with the beard, though, that's a whole other story. A good one.
King Julien's accent is Indian. I'm sure that most of the Fandom knows that Sacha Baron Cohen had a lawyer from Sri Lanka and he was inspired to imitate their Indian English accent.
Danny Jacobs did not change it. As an Indian, I'm proud of this. Also, Madagascar was once a part of South India, where i live. Madagascar separated from India with the continental drift and we still have the gap there called "palghat gap" which was formed when the island drifted away
Not definitely the best one buy I try to define some lines esp mouth or teeth part is the most tricky part for me.
Yes, this is my first time using Sacha Cohen for pose reference since I have pictured out he fits much with Clopin Trouillefou... And which he reminds me of a bit of the dictator movie.
Next after Clopin will be Frollo, post of him will be on the future once I'll finish this .
