Emmy winner Jake Hamilton travels to the Toronto International Film Festival to talk with the stars of ANNA KARENINA -- Keira Knightley, Jude Law and Aaron Johnson -- only on JAKE'S TAKES! Follow Jake around the world at jakestakes
Aaron might look crazy or whatever but you cannot deny that he is a sensational actor. just look at all his roles and he does them all so differently and brilliantly.
Anna never really had a chance to find out what love is bec she was married off at about age 18 to a 39 yo man who certainly didn’t marry her for love. Anna didn’t get the chance to learn the difference between infatuation and love, but she finally got to experience a “happy ending” even though Tolstoy couldn’t really put THAT in the book!
I love when Jake asks questions asking about which of stars previous films they would choose for something and they actually pick one instead of just being really vague. It shows they still think about their past projects.
Jake Hamilton's interviews are incredible! He asks the greatest questions to get the best answers. It really shows that he loves what he does. Bravo, Jake!
I really loved this film, you would love to hate Anna Karenina...but you can't help but love her and feel sorry for her for never, until meeting Count Vronsky, knowing what love feels like.
I loved how they were all going on about love when Russia, at the time, relationships were pretty much surrogate. I call this movie, "Wealthy Russian People Problems." It's a pretty good-looking movie, but it can seem a little unorganized and not really sure what direction it wanted to go. Especially in the beginning where every transition there was a play being set up to the next scene then they just kind of stopped except every once and a while.
We don't even have a release date for this movie in Spain, ughhh,,,,well i guess, I have time to read the book before watching it. Great interview, Jake, as always
wow, you were really quick! don't worry, i probably would never have seen it either if i hadn't been on an enormous jude law kick a few years ago... :) he has made some amazing movies, this being one of them!

It's always disappointing when you fall in love with a character in the movie and then come watch their interviews on RU-vid and find out their pretty much just a normal guy...Aaron Johnson is beautiful in Anna Karenina...so beautiful...!! Note to self: Never watch the RU-vid interviews again! lol
six years is a long time when you think of it. Think of a 6 and twelve year old. Obviously there's going to be a difference, mentally and physically. We get wiser and more mature as we age, every day ages us in those two senses. Some learn more in terms of maturity than others, and I think he has learned a lot through his experiences. Or it could simply be his personality, genetics you know.
I am American and I know people who have crazy or conservative do's. Both the crazy or conservative style can be going along or against the person's real personality. In Aaron's case, I feel he is shedding the idealized image that adolescents grasp onto, one that his producers may have influenced him to keep. So, in creating a new look, his is more himself, ridiculous or not. He's in his 20s for crying out loud! Us Americans will easily accept his look which is (I shit you not Janecynster) sexy.
i, for one, liked it! but it is quite dark, and, well... depressing. but everyone gives an AMAZING performance, especially jude. i was terrified of him.
It's so surreal to think of him as Robbie from Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging and then see him as this mature guy who has a wife and kids. (Albeit 2 of the girls are actually his, and the other 2 are from his wife's previous marriage.)
i think you're the only one that does lol. Actors do what they want no one else finds it an issue. Yes it is unprofessional but no one else is making an issue out of it lol
Yeah, except that no, not most people know the story. And even if that were true, what about the other people who don't know it? You can't blame a person for not reading the book or having someone tell them about it when what they are actually interested in is seeing the movie without any spoilers.
Keira Nightely said that Russian aristocrats "couldn't even speak Russian", she is so unaware and out of it! She does not deserve to be an actress and she certainly does not deserve to play Anna Karenina! Oh my God! This rich people can do what ever they want! What a shame!
Wow. Is it me, or is it unprofessional for an actor to drop an F-bomb? I mean, privately, do what you want to, but when your promoting a movie? This is a job. If I was to start swearing in a meeting at work, I'd be fired.
Pushkin and Tchaikovsky wrote letters in Russian and spoke in Russian, but of course they could speak French a lot. Keira is saying that Russian aristocrats "couldn't even speak Russian" and that is wrong. She can't even pronounce a word aristocracy! How did she pass a casting??? She obviously playing all this roles not because of the talent, but because of other things that have nothing to do with the talent. And she certainly needed to dig dipper. How did such "Vronsky" passed a casting?? bad
Well it was a critique of Russian society in fact ... I think he would have like it. The theme that life in society was a theatre and real life was outside of it . I honestly think it's way ahead of it's time
omg haha and now compare him to the boy in angus thongs and perfect snogging? that was just 6 years ago. What did the director aka his 47-years-old wife do to him? was she too afraid of him looking too young for her?
