Not sure why this thread is back but I just filtered my posts and I got a bit aggressive and snarky in the late half there so I just wanted to apologise for that.
In other news, I watched the first film with my daughter the other day and I have reassessed the acting quality of the kids and have decided it is good.
I think this is because I’ve had a lot more exposure to 10 year olds and now the acting seems really like kids are, which is to say they can seem quite unconvincing/wooden about being really exciting and into things, probably because they’re trying to express ideas in a way that they think appeals to adults.
As a result I watched it and thought how like kids they all seemed even if it was a bit annoying at times. Maybe Jake Lloyd is actually fine in the Phantom Menace and I was just projecting my desire for adult thoughts and actions coming from kids in movies?
