But I think he's actively trying to change that now, which is great. He's giving himself smaller, more character-based roles, and I think it's turning out really well.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-36005407798031261302015-04-25T19:02:28.387-04:002015-04-25T19:02:28.387-04:00Seriously, Brad Pitt is an overrated actor (I mean...Seriously, Brad Pitt is an overrated actor (I mean, like everybody here knows his name. I saw once a news report about a romanian guy changed his name in Bred Pit) with a lot of underrated roles (True Romance, Sleepers, Snatch, The Mexican, Babel, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Burn After Reading, Killing Them Softly, The Counselor). Still haven't seen True Romance, Ocean’s Twelve, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford or The Tree of Life. But I love him in a lot of these stuff. He puts good work in Inglourious Basterds...in the second part of the film, I mean seriously, he gets into his character in the second part of the film. He is great in these films but here's my problem. He plays HIMSELF in a lot of these films. As an artist, he can't grow unless he play an very edgy character or other character than Brad Pitt. His work in all these amazing films is fantastic but he should do more stuff like 12 Monkeys, Fight Club, Snatch and Burn After Reading.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00059813680559966539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-65544424332991817262014-02-18T17:18:30.088-05:002014-02-18T17:18:30.088-05:00Whoa really?

I kid. <br /><br />But seriously, Legends of the Fall and Meet Joe Black are two underrated films of the 90's, and I loved Pitt's performances in both. <br /><br />I've loved this guy since I've laid eyes on him in Thelma and Louise. He's got what it takes to be an actor AND a movie star. I'm always intrigued when he's involved in a project.<br /><br />Great rundown, Alex!Davehttp://theflickersblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-44616313170085825192012-08-17T15:29:04.385-04:002012-08-17T15:29:04.385-04:00Thanks!

Quoting his lines is a popular pastime around our house. <br /><br />I didn't appreciate Brad Pitt all that much for many years. Maybe the fact that so many women of my generation said he was "the sexiest man who ever lived" made me less inclined to take him seriously? Anyway, I'm glad I've re-evaluated him in recent years with movies like Burn After Reading and Inglorious Basterds.

While it's not my favorite actor, he is a pretty great one with a great career films, especially in the last 10 years. I think others mentioned "12 Monkeys" and "Fight Club" which I would have put at the top of the list and take out "Burn After Reading" which I didn't really care for. And what about "Ben Button"? I hope that he may quite acting soon.
