I love the depth of this character, and Ben killed the role. As cold blooded and sadistic as he was, he was forever loyal to his friend/mentor, all the way to his death to the point where he didn't understand why he died the way he did. Underrated performance.
Best character in most of the movies he's in! Ben Foster is one of my favorite actors, and I feel like he doesn't get nearly as many big roles as he ought to...
Agreed. Totally dominated every scene he was in. And considering the heavyweight talent his character was supporting I will say this. My hats off to Ben Foster. He is an absolutely magnificent actor. Watch Hell or highwater. Or Alpha dog. F@#king raw talent.
Dunno about that. Charlie's dead loyal to Ben. I've known people to argue there's an (unrequited) romantic subtext to his loyalty. Micah's just as ruthless, just as kill-happy, and just as deadly, but he was only ever a kiss-ass, not really loyal, and ratted the gang out.
Not the black hat not the black hat!! rofl!! But in the end maybe he should have left the idiots to shoot the black hat seeing as good ol' Ben had no qualms about shooting Prince even after all that effort to get him free. I mean he got teary eyed but still killed him. Loved Prince's style in dressing. :P Not his choice in love interest/boss. :P All in all, Ben Foster was the only reason I watched this movie and I was not disappointed. Russell Crowe and christian Bale were very good too, but I personally liked Ben Foster the best.
Rada M "love interest"?! I don't remember anything in the movie that even vaguely suggested they were intimate sexually. But maybe I missed something. Or did you read something in a historical text to that effect, that probably wasn't going to be alluded to in the movie, so as not to reduce its appeal to the average Joe..?
very droll it’s heavily implied Charlie prince (teased by Byron as “princess”) is gay and has unrequited love for Ben. This is also teased in the fact Ben shoots him in the heart to finally kill him, and that Charlie is green eyed (which is Bens type in women).
16For God so loved the world, than he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him shouldidea not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved."-John 3:16-17 "9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."-2 Peter 3:9-10 "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."-Romans 10:9-10 "51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, 52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality."-1 Corinthians 15:51-53 "13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words."-1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
Crunkboy putting a guy with the depth of talent of Foster in any fucking remake of a comic is an absolute cinematic travesty, and an example of someone being seriously underemployed and undervalued. The fact is 95% of the movies Hollywood makes now are absolute shit, so there are very few good roles for true talent like him. I think if you had him in private he'd say something like "I didn't do it for the money, or because its a good idea for a movie, but they offered me the role, and because I'm an actor by trade I did it just for something to do to keep me working". Since 2008 Hollywood has dropped the bar so low they'll probably end up making a Roger Ramjet trilogy! To quote Flava Flav: "Yo fuck Hollywood man!"
Rockstar really need to stop just taking characters and shit. It goes from referencing to just straight up copying. And they didn’t even do a good job with the stolen character, just made him racist cause “oooo he bad man!” And called it a day
Take note Hollywood. This is how you write a gay character. He’s defining characteristic is not his sexuality (it’s not even mentioned, just alluded to and strongly implied) just like heterosexual people defining characteristics aren’t their sexuality.
@@Golden-Golden-Zen I think he is. Like I said it’s not directly mentioned. In the days of the Wild West homosexuals kept that to themselves as it was not received very nicely.
He played the role perfectly. Except for when he tosses Ben Wade’s gun back. The 2 characters before him both underhanded it, while he tossed it/push armed it like a sissy😂 they should’ve redone that scene
