You first noticed
him in his large role in The Last King of Scotland and
you didn’t know you saw him as the Faun in The Lion The
Witch And The Wardrobe and soon you hope to rent Becoming
Jane. Now he
plays Robbie, an honorable young man, whose life gets turned
upside down. What
remains constant is Cecilia’s love for him and his love for
her in return.
It’s great to
see filmmakers choose the best and/or affordable actor they can
get and for a movie, with a big budget, like Atonement,
the choice of James McAvoy worked for this movie.
Imagine yourself
standing in the woods and right in front of you are schoolgirls
who have been shot dead and the director tells you,
“Action!” Now
what? You better
start looking the part and McAvoy, wherever he gets his pain
from, shares with us a moment.
He does this many times in the movie, when he is
“handcuffed or rope cuffed at that time” and looks back at
Cecilia, when he gets mad at Briony for jumping into the river,
when he is in his apartment with Cecilia and Briony and how the
wrong done to him must be made right, when he returns in the
dark after finding the twins, where he makes you know he is
honorable.
These
are where he makes his presence known. These are why the filmmakers hired him. Presence, talent, whatever you call it that one has a
hard time pinpointing, sets an actor apart from the next, in
getting the job done.
