Ever since I watched Never Let Me Go (2010) back then on July 2011, I was totally captivated by the actors' performance. They all great whether it's their acting or their ability to cast a spell over the viewers to follow their miserable lives. The movie is about time and suffer, if I may tell you. But it delivers the beauty of the book with the same title by Kazuo Ishiguro, a Japanesse best-selling author.
What I should warn you guys is the movie contains some mature scene, and that's why I skipped some part since I'm only 15 at the time. While the story is beautiful, I was more fascinated by the actors' acting. Especially the younger actors. The movie is one of the best movie with child-to-mature characters.
Gosh, their acting is so valuable. One that got most of my attention is a girl who played Kathy (Carey Mulligan) on her early age, while Kathy, Tommy (Andrew Garfield), and Ruth (Keira Knightley), 'studied' in Hailsham. Later I discovered that her name is Isobel 'Izzy' Meikle-Small.
She has played in several movies and got some minor roles before NLMG, such as Tchaikovsky: Fortune and Tragedy, a TV movie; and Disco, a very funny short movie. You should check it out.
I don't know, but I really like her character and how she played Kathy. I really hope the movie brought her to fame but eventually it just lasted for a very short space of time, which pissed me off. She's so talented and deserves more vital role. One of her biggest chance is to be Katniss Everdeen's sister, Primrose, in The Hunger Games trilogy but her chance flew as soon as it landed on her palms. I mean, if you look closely, Izzy Meikle-Small and Jennifer Lawrence shares some similarity. They both have blonde hair, for example. I don't get the idea why the role for Prim was gotten by Willow Shields. No offense.
I hope in the future she will get more roles and get recognition. She's only sixteen anyway. Still fresh for a start. And she has about two years younger face than her age. I'm starting to imagine if some books being filmed, what role will fits her perfectly. Yea I'm such a daydreamer.
And I've found one:
- Chloe-Levesque Series: Phoebe Torrence maybe? Okay, she's not fat but it will be a fresh wind if we change a little about one character. And I'm super excited when I imagine Izzy being a teenage detective's half little sister, who was very busy with her play and debate club. Phoebe's character maybe not strong enough compared to Kathy's, but it would be nice to see her talent being commercialized first.
I'll support her hard :)
