Actors in the Film

I chose to discuss Angelina Jolie, Imelda Staunton, and Juno Temple since I have seen them in several films before. It is hard to know exactly the type of actors they really are. Regardless, I feel more inclined to state that these three actresses are character actors. I cannot say this for every movie, but for Maleficent you can see that they became the characters.

I have not been a fan of Angelina Jolie. I felt that she always seemed to be the same type of person in every film. I really didn't see much difference from one film to the other. However, Angelina played a different role in this movie. She was outstanding and I realized that she was great. She did an awesome job with the movie. In the clip below, it is one of the movies that she plays a kick-butt girl. This is where she seems to be the same throughout her movies.

Imelda Staunton is a favorite of mine from Harry Potter. Again, she played her character well. She was different than her character in Harry Potter. She was a little snippity as Professor Umbridge was. She was, however, not a bad person wanting power. She changed with the character. In the clip below, Imelda plays a sadistic, power hungry professor. She is crazy.

Juno Temple has always been sprite like to me. One movie I have seen her in was The Three Musketeers. She had such a small role on The Other Boleyn Girl. I feel every character has been different. As with the other actresses, it seems that she can change how she acts with the role that she is given. In the clip below, Juno is playing Queen Anne. When you see Maleficent you can see that she is different in both of the films.

With Angelina Jolie, it seems that she played some of the same roles. She seemed to be the same in all of them. It seems that she usually plays tough, kick-butt girls. This is the first role I have ever seen her in that is different. I think, as many actors do, get type-casted into certain roles. I do not see this as a bad thing in most cases. I am pretty easy going about some things. I sometimes like it.
