I went to see Captain America: The Winter Soldier last night. Excellent movie, as good as all the Transformers movies, Terminator series, Star Trek, the list is endless.
So why then are some of the critics so unhappy, or displeased that Robert Redford is in this wonderful movie?! I say it's as simple as personal preferences. However on a different extreme of the Hollywood movie star spectrum one might speculate that the critiquing powers that be want to destroy a movie star's golden career because he chose to step outside his creative box.
Robert Redford played a role that suits his acting nature in a movie creatively distant from his comfort zone. That's a good thing, my opinion. It tells me he wants to grow, expand his horizons, and continue trying new experiences instead of stagnating.
The sculptor Michelangelo once said when he was in his 70's or 80's that he was just beginning to become the artist he wanted to be. Next time you make a choice whether it's dinner, a date out, or a movie. Are you going to listen to a critic or to yourself? Are you going to do "the same 'ole, same 'ole..." or be adventurous?
Everytime I've listend to my gut I've never gone wrong. Kudos Robert Record for being adventurous and still young at heart. You played an evil business man great!
