Hurt becomes hate becomes hurt becomes hate...

Yesterday, I was watching O, the film I mentioned in my last post.
I really like this film a lot. Even during my decade of get the fuck outta my face, you that I had with Josh, I would enjoy his performance in this movie. As you all know, he's the modern prep school version of Iago, the Bard's enraged, homicidally jealous military man.
And he does such a great job. As I watched yesterday, I was as moved as I always am by him in this film. It's not just him, of course. A great deal of the effect has to do with how the script was adapted from Shakespeare. The plainness of the language gives the young actors a lot of room to move around in the lines, to find their own interpretation of a character's actions. (Elizabethan English seems to turn some actors into deer staring down headlights, especially young actors.)
( Josh does a lot of really interesting things with Hugo... )
