I watched two more Timothée Chalamet movies yesterday: "Love The Coopers" and "Hot Summer Nights". He didn't have a lot of screen time in "Love The Coopers" but it was a good movie nevertheless. Timothée is so good at playing the odd introvert, I'm starting to think that's who he really is in real life. I laughed out loud at the awkward kissing scenes with him and his love interest in the film. I really enjoy him as an actor. He's very talented. I did feel sad seeing Diane Keaton and Alan Arkin in the movie because they are no longer with us and I love them both, but I enjoyed their performances as always. I really liked the movie a lot.
"Hot Summer Nights" was different than I thought it was going to be. I thought it was going to be funny and light-hearted, but it turned out to be quite serious in ways that I didn't expect. Timothée was the odd introvert again, but this time I saw a bit of something else in his performance, his fierce determination, his will to succeed, to overcome his shyness and assert himself. I saw his ambitiousness. His refusal to quit or let his fear stop him from achieving his goal. There's more to him than meets the eye.
I'm struggling with my decision of which movies of Timothée's to watch next. Most of them are very dark and depressing, so much so, that I've been feeling the weight of them in my day-to-day life. I've been feeling dark and depressed since I started watching them. I'm getting tired of feeling this way. It's taking a toll on me. I might have to stop for a while and watch something else. Something more light-hearted. There are things that I need to do and this feeling is draining all of the energy from me.
