Some films unintentionally let you a glimpse of the actors' preference in how the actor has built a unique, almost exquisite sense of his/her on-screen presence, in the minds of you and I.
I call it 'the intrigue appeal'. The air of mystery and myth and glamour and starry-eyes and what have you, that these actors carry with them draws the audience in. The actor has worked hard to maintain a subconscious photograph of himself in the movie-goers eye and it is this what intrigues me.
Stallone will beat the likeliness out of you, so would Willis but after spilling out the NYPD wit. Schwarzenegger will always be an endoskeleton dressed in leather with a prosthetic arm missing. Similarly Weaver, Streep and Lane have built around them shields, those which are impenetrable on so many different psychological levels.
These are but only a handful of great actors who have either made a choice or the choice has made them. Brando had it coming, he gave away too much too much to the audience.
'The English Teacher' is a funny and partly intelligent film carried on the lean shoulders of Julianne Moore. 'Boogie Nights (1997)' (adult performer); 'Magnolia (1999)' (addict); 'The Big Lebowski (1998)' (eccentric no inhibitions painter); 'Crazy, Stupid, Love (2011)' (adulteress) and more films have made us conditioned to see Moore do something a little more edgy; perhaps take on a more edgy character, more reckless or maybe something like 'I'm Not There (2007)' where she plays '(a) fictional folk singer named Alice Fabian—described by some critics as a 'Joan Baez-like figure'.
This film nails it for Moore as the wonderful, still-voluptuous, sexy and mysterious actress waltzes around the film in confusion and a deliberate unorthodox streak of that sexuality that Moore carries all the way up to a rather distasteful end.
Yes, I do not have much to say about the film other than it is damaged in a very organic manner.
Even with all the bad taste the film or rather Moore give you a sense of unconventional sensuality and it must be watched to see if you could be any of the main characters in the film. It can drive you crazy. A must watch for Moore and MILF fans.
