This was the first time I saw Ryan Gosling in anything. Later, I kept hearing about how he was considered extremely attractive, and I had only seen him in that movie, and it confused the shit out of me. You think he’s hot? Really?
I also thought that movie was going to be a stupid comedy. I don’t think I was mature enough for it the time and I’d like to see it again with fresh eyes.
I was gonna say this one too. Especially for the time it was made, I really appreciate that it never punched down on the main character (or people experiencing mental illness), unlike a lot of its contemporaries.
Ryan Gosling has some fantastic early work in general actually. The United States of Leland was one of my favourites growing up, though I’m not sure if it’s aged well.
Lars and the Real Girl. Seems like a dumb boner comedy. Actually a weirdly wholesome film.
