Little Ashes (2008)
1/10
Little Ashes - Pattinson does not look, sound or feel like Dali
28 June 2009
There was nothing wrong with the story of the movie except the actor chosen to play the great surrealist painter: Salvador Dali. Dali played by Robert Pattinson, was so off I have to rate this movie 1/10. Being a huge fan of Dali's artwork, I am even more intrigued by Dali himself, I could stare at a photo or listen to Dali speak, almost endlessly... So to see Pattinson (and I do not blame him for taking/attempting the role) completely ripped up Dali and spat him out into a mess. Pattinson did not look, feel or sound like Dali what so ever. Dali is famous for the way he spoke, rolling words off his tongue with a Spanish accent. I understand that the movie is spoken in English for western viewers to relate to, but I can not take the movie seriously. It is like Samuel L. Jackson playing Donald Trump in a movie, it would not work, a bit of an exaggeration, I know, but you can catch my drift. Pattinson is a pale Englishman where Dali was a dark skinned Spaniard, I cannot imagine who casted him. I could go on for ever. If you are a fan of Dali or actually thought this movie was good, I recommend checking out "Dirty Dali" and "Arena - Dali," search them on youtube.
