I was thinking about this all through the movie and I think Lawrence is the most insecure character I have seen in a movie, his demeoner, his posture, how he talked, everything, it was great acting, I thougt.

I hate to say it but I was acutally embarassed by his actions, i felt sorry for him lol.

I liked the film but I'm not sure how I feel about Nighy's performance. I was intrigued by his character and found him pitiful and funny at the beginning but as it went on I couldn't help but feel that it was a very one note that became boring.
Kelly was good but Gina's speeches felt so out of character and forced.
I think i agree... maybe with Nick Cage´s character in "Orchid Thief" coming in close second.
shareI like Bill Nighy's acting, he is one of the best actors i think, This movie i liked, the character Lawrence reminds me a bit of me, the confusion and some of his way of being.
great movie, i usually don't watch romance, but i saw it on tv by accident and yeah i had to admit it was a great movie :D
I think we are supposed to feel embarrassed for him. He is supposed to be hard to watch, b/c that is how he feels. I mean, just the line, "I didn't want you to think less of her (Gina) b/c she was with me." All he has to say was that in the whole movie and that sums up his low self-esteem.
Nighy's acting was top-notch.
Forgivness is letting go of the hope that the past can be changed.
Well I remembered I had commented on this movie some time ago, and luckily I was able to find my own comment :D. A lot has happened to me since, My english has improved, and I like Lawrence found someone about a 2 or 3 months after my first comment. I still do recognize myself in Lawrence especially before, and that's why I still find this movie incredibly powerful, if you just have the smallest understanding of what it means to be like Lawrence, this movie will definately feel like a great movie. And the political message and the awkward but cute chemistry between Lawrence and Gina was quite well done too.
I mostly just went in here to see my old comment because I knew that was me in the old days :).
and a last note, the only moment that just get's completely unwatchable for awkward reasons for me is definately when he keeps insisting on them getting a seperate room, I must admit on this 2.nd watching I skipped past that :D
I would recommend Joaquin Pheonix's character in Two Lovers (with Gwyneth Paltrow) -- he is an extremely insecure chap in that film.
shareI thought this as well. Watching their first dinner together was almost painful, lol. He was so awkward. But it was great character development and acting.
