Halfway between Edward Norton y Sean Penn (even generationally) we find a Robert Downey Junior who sums up the versatility of the first with the charisma of the second. And it is already known that the greater the variety of magnetic resources for the viewers, the greater the cache one can set for hiring them.
Because if I'm not mistaken, good Robert is one of the best paid thanks to his contractual relationship with everything that sounds like Marvel (As if not to defend Marvel movies against criticism from Tarantino). But beyond these types of films that, although they win thanks to Robert's winks and photogenicity, it's not that they fascinate me because of their great degree of predictability, we can enjoy many other films where Downey Junior shines from many other aspects.
Certain doses of impudence and presumptuousness, which tends to fit well in any self-respecting hero, mixed with contradictory sensations so as to never quite get where his interpretations are going for the benefit of the current suspense. Robert's ability to play with appearances and confusion places him in that spectrum of perfect actors for actions, suspense or even dramas of unpredictable extremes...
Top 3 Recommended Robert Downey Junior Films
Judge
AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:One of those movies about complicated parenting, in the style of Big Fish if we stripped it of all its fantastic side that gives it that magical notion. The point is that the judge has in his son Hank Palmer (Robert) his protected offspring who was able to thrive in the world of law with good or bad arts, depending on how he played.
But destiny poses a very special reunion for both of them in which the son will have to be able to free his father from all possible social, intra-familial and legal trials. Because everything indicates that his father killed his mother. The dilemma is served and Robert's encounter with the most bitter reality that he has to face will point to almost emblematic moments of modern cinema, between courtrooms and doors into a destroyed home.
The end is seen to come after the storm, with that lightness of the calm after the battle. Except that in this case the combat has been waged between old family ghosts, invincible fears, contradictory sensations, pending emotional debts and a kind of final verdict that points more to a general judgment of the human between life, death and memory than Parents can leave us.
Chaplin
AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:Biographical films do not usually convince me, with exceptions such as A Beautiful Mind with Russell Crowe or like that of the recent Blonde from Ana de Armas (Of course, in this case there is an explicit recognition that things go more towards interpretation than towards testimony). But the truth is that in this case, communing with the mythical part of the matter, Robert's was a complete success.
Because in the development of the story this actor pulled his capacity for a histrionics that bordered on that of Jim Carrey and that it was the most suitable to advance between the exaggerated fiction of Chaplin and his crudest realism. Because in the end, overreacting is part of the existence of this type of personalities surpassed by the dimension of his figure.
Chaplin's life may be more or less well known. The interiors fill up from this biographical film as an explanation to many other aspects about the reasons for doing what is done, to give oneself vehemently to a mission in life. In addition to providing information to the admirers of one of the greatest actors and comedians, with more or less made-up aspects of him, the tape manages to immortalize his figure even more from a fabulous interpretation of Robert.
Sherlock Holmes
AVAILABLE ON ANY OF THESE PLATFORMS:Without being at all faithful to the mythical character of Conan Doyle, the perfect setting and the representation of Sherlock as a genius that moves between the eccentric and the insane won me over to the cause. I must admit, however, that I have yet to see the following deliveries. But laziness beats me when it comes to participating in the overexploitation of a brilliant idea like this one.
At the moment it works for me with this nineteenth-century outpost of the current CSI. Where Robert is able to make us participate in his prodigious gifts, capable of the scientific towards criminal investigation. The fascination of the people who work with him, such as Jude Law incarnating a faded Watson who looks more like Sancho in his case, is transmitted to the viewer until the consideration of the brilliant literary Sherlock is raised towards the possibility of being gifted at all levels. by work and grace of the most suggestive fantasy.
Sherlock Holmes and his inseparable research partner Dr. John Watson manage to prevent the blood ritual of a young woman at the hands of Lord Henry Blackwood in time. After arresting Blackwood, he receives the highest sentence that can be assigned to a prisoner: hanging. Before the trial begins, Blackwood asks Sherlock to stop by his cell to warn him that his death will only be the beginning of a new era, where the death of three more people will change London completely.
Soon, Blackwood dies before the eyes of all the Lords and his death is certified by Dr. Watson. However, the news that Blackwood has been resurrected echoes in society after finding the tomb in which it was destroyed from the inside, and the gravedigger in shock after seeing the murderer walking among the graves. Undoubtedly, the events that will follow are beyond all possible logic, creating commotion in the population. Only Sherlock Holmes can unmask the truth of the case and show that all apparently supernatural actions have a scientific explanation.
