The Brave One

kevmartin · 07-21-2008

I've always liked Jodie Foster very much. Her work is brilliant, and she is clearly a person of great personal integrity too. If I had to nominate a Hollywood person I find most attractive/appealing, she would be right up there, if not number 1 (I certainly can't think of anyone else to beat her right now).

I just saw one of her newest films a couple of days ago, The Brave One. I highly recommend it - up to her usual standards from the acting perspective and quality from the rest of the cast and production team too. Dark, and gripping.

How did she earn your opinion of "great personal integrity?"

Just curious.

She clearly holds fairly strong beliefs on issues (Feminism is a prime example), but at the same time doesn't seem one to push those on other people. She also seems to do her best to avoid the glamorous/publicity/bullshit side of Hollywood life, for the most part letting her work do her speaking for her. But those are just a couple of things that come to mind - mostly, it's just the perception I have accrued over the years from TV interviews and other press, as well as the types of roles she chooses to play (choice of roles is an interesting insight into actors' characters - once they reach a stage where clearly they have freedom to choose any type of role they want).

I think my first film of Jodie Foster was "The Little House At The End Of The Lane" I think it was called - Jodie was 13 in it and was it Charlie or Martin sheen in it too - who tried to molest her - She showed him how strong a character she has, hehehe - practically fried his nuts, before he died

She's a great actress!
