I'm so glad they've got that "oath" to stay away from the comments around the show, be it negative or positive. Some of the hate Bella Ramsey has gotten is completely unwarranted and insanely immature. I'm sure she probably has thicker skin than I imagine, but it kind of made me lose some faith in humanity from hearing and seeing it myself, so I can't imagine if I was her and it was directed at me. I'm glad they pushed so she wouldn't be influenced at all by the performance of Ashley Johnson from the game, because her portrayal in those 4 first episodes has been an absolute joy to watch.
@generalwillwelsh7926 Жыл бұрын
Did you play the game at all?
@flecks_piano Жыл бұрын
@@generalwillwelsh7926 Yes. Did you? What's your point? I like that the creators don't let their actors be influenced by the source content, but rather just let them come to their own understanding and allow for their own interpretation of the characters to come through on screen. The creators still know about the source content and direct the actors in the general path that they want the characters to follow, while still giving them some leeway and not expecting them to just do a carbon copy of their counterparts in the game. It allows for a different and fresh portrayal of the characters, while still keeping the essence of who those characters are. My point is exactly that. For anyone who's played the game, it's clear to see that Bella isn't just trying to replicate Ellie's persona from the game. She's putting her own spin to it, and for what it's worth I think her portrayal has been pretty damn good. She's absolutely adorable in those scenes where she's trying to display the playful, innocent side of Ellie trying to crack down Joel's wall, and she's really fuckin' good in the more emotional scenes where her character experiences trauma. I wasn't sure from the get-go but she's been giving a very good, nuanced performance, while still being very different from Ashley Johnson's portrayal.

@@SGhosht They're not gonna recast her. That's already been said. When it comes to looking the part I think you forget how much work the makeup and wardrobe team put in to make her look even younger and Pedro older. And with s2 she'll be playing around her age. There's no show Abby to even compare to yet so that's too early to say but it already looked ridiculous for game Ellie going against Abby. That was the point, there was more to it than muscles. It was about how far they were both willing to go.

Think Bella grew into the part of Ellie. I thought she came over a little too street wise and cold in the first few episodes but in recent episodes we've seen that softer more vulnerable side to Ellie, which I think is so important in the growing relationship between her and Joel. Some amazing reactions too. Bella's (Ellie's) reaction to Henry shooting himself sent chills down my back and the "everyone except f--king you" really hit home. Of all the games I've played over the years TLOU is my favourite by quite some distance and I think they're doing a wonderful job so far. I only wish you guys would have been given 12 or 16 episodes, because there's so much more to tell and I feel they're having to rush through sections a bit. Good luck with the rest of the series Bella....the age thing , my daughter was just like that. She was still carrying her passport at 26 to show she was old enough to drink lol. God if I was recommending classics I've loved from back in the day, there are so many. I guess 'One flew over the cuckoos nest' from my teenage years and a more recent film (2004) and one that flies under the radar is Shane Meadows 'Dead mans shoes'. Such a superb film, but I have to say it's a little violent and disturbing in places but one that leaves such an impression.
