#17 The Lady
Michael Aris = The Support Character
Pros: A film that flows so easily that it never becomes complicated or difficult to watch. Luc Besson is a director who always strives to give a good direction regardless of the genre and whether he wrote the script or not. The Lady manages to give us a story with a beautiful message of humanity without becoming something pretentious, in the David plays Aris, an expert on Tibetan issues married to the famous activist named Aung San Suu Kyi (Michelle Yeoh) who fought for her people as well as her roots. I want to mention David's double performance, I felt a nice gesture as it reminded me a lot of the BBC television series called The Street where I also played twins.
Cons: The last thirty minutes of the film are very badly structured; they don't make you feel as empathetic with the main character as you should. I actually think that if someone approached you and told you the ending you would understand much more what is happening than if you saw it for yourself, this happens in many films about biographical lives, tend to be a success or a failure and are not always fascinating as you think.
