I really appreciated what Ewan said about Episodes 1 to 3 - they meant a lot to the generation of kids (like myself) that grew up watching them. The 70/80’s trilogy may be superior films but I don’t have the same relationship with them as I do to the prequel trilogy. Childhood nostalgia is a powerful force…

I grew up watching Anakin and Obi wan trilogy and I've never understood this huge hate. I'm so happy to see them together again
@Theomite Жыл бұрын
@@ilaryp The hate comes up to the comparison of craftsmanship of the OG trilogy. I still think the writing and the acting is atrocious, but in fairness, Lucas' ineptitude at writing and overreliance on bluescreen kinda makes that inevitable. Time has shown though, that most of the hate was ill-deserved and we've come around to realizing that they have their own charm. I can't hate on the Prequels anymore because I see in the Millennials/Zoomers the same magic in their eyes that we had for the OT and it actually warms my heart so I've gotten over it and I think most of my people have too.

Trainspotting is one of my all-time favourite films, and Ewan just makes the whole thing come together. He's really believable as an addicted 20-something just trying to break free. I don't think I could imagine anyone else in that role. His portrayal of the ravages of addiction, the behaviours, moods, and changes in physical appearance it causes were spot-on.

Ewan is pure talent with such versatility. While I am a huge fan of his acting, I wish he did more musicals to highlight his singing. I was surprised to find out he was heavily drinking and smoking prior to Moulin Rouge. His voice sounded so clear and crisp, especially when he hit the high notes. "Your Song" is an example of his vocal prowess in case you're wondering.

If you follow his filmography, I think you can tell he just plays whichever role or project that interests him without a specific agenda. For such a well-known actor his filmography is so indie and absolutely fun to watch if you're a movie fan, because they all have different tones and style. For example, I've never watched a movie like "The Pillow Book" in my life, and "Velvet Goldmine" is also one of the boldest movies I've ever watched. Then, there are quieter movies like "Beginners" and some of the weirdest romantic movies, like "Down with Love" and "Perfect Sense." TL;DR it's quite hard to beat his filmography.

How am I supposed to believe anything you say if you’re gonna look me in the eye and pretend that everything went as planned? At the same time, so much work by himself and people he admires, and the way he talks through the reception, the ambition, and possible mistakes made along the way by himself or others is very refreshing.

Glad he did this. I have always stayed out of the Star Wars prequel arguments because films are such a personal subjective experience and we as humans feel the natural desire to form groups in any social dichotomy. However, Ewan did a fantastic job in them, and the fact he greets fans with a smile is always a sign of a good person. Imagine a world where people you have never met feel they know you and are comfortable just walking up to you and striking up a conversation even if you are having a bad day... he has a reputation as always being willing to take a few minutes to chat with a fan.

They missed his #1 role! He played Ewan McGregor in The Long Way Down and The Long Way Down. Excellent films. Charlie Boorman co-stars as Charlie Boorman, his good friend and fellow motorcycle enthusiast. Highly recommended.

In the 90’s, I totally ripped his Trainspotting look for my own. Still sporting the buzz cut/sideburns look to this day.

Trainspotting was one of the greatest films ever made. The characters were real. How Danny Boyle made a heroine addict look like a hero was not an easy task.

Everyone keeps mentioning Obi-Wan but Christopher Robin got me right in the feels. Very underrated performance, he brought a piece of my childhood to life.

So many other great projects he's done I'd love to hear him talk about, but this was great.

"Oh, I Don't Think So" ...My favorite line from Star Wars. My favorite actor from the Star Wars Universe without a doubt. He made the prequels. Just my opinion obviously.

I watched trainspotting early this year, completely changed my view on films. I also watched shallow grave and 28 days later, Danny Boyle immediately became my favourite director. I’m now doing film studies in college.
@Dunderslag Жыл бұрын
He is one of the better directors, no doubt about it.

I love Ewan McGregor, but unfortunately because of my age, becoming a fan after Shallow Grave (arguably one of if not his best film) and seeing him ride a motorbike across the world with one of his best mates means I find it a bit harder to sustain my disbelief in movies where he plays against my perception of "type". But I always root for him as if he were a mate, despite never meeting the chap. Funny how fame works, innit?

Although I am a Star Wars fan, I was a fan of Ewan in the 90s, WAY before he was in the prequels. I liked him in A Life Less Ordinary (Danny Boyle) with Cameron Diaz. Had a great soundtrack.

@@cherylstewart3816 Same! it's a time when the kooky films DID go under the radar, there was no social media to bring attention to it. If you say who was in it and what the film was about, with that dance number, people will think you're explaining a dream. 😄 That was back when my mum and I just went to see whatever was out. You had the trailer (maybe) and a poster, and that was it!

I was never a star wars fan. My aunt was though and she dragged me to every movie. This was when people were camping outside to get tickets. We went at a 6am movie showing and still could only get seats in the 1st row. But these are the memories I look back on after my aunt passed from battling cancer. So thank you
