We’re now thick in “multiple affectations per film” territory. And that pain happens to reside, primarily, just above his forehead.

Are we isolating the tinted sunglasses from the mustache/soul patch from the receding hairline? Or are we accepting them as a general affectation package? I’d say the former: You really can’t take your eyes off that hairline, can you? This is broken-dreams Ryan Gosling, making you to feel every ounce of the pain of his shattered heart.

Rating: 1.7 Ryan Goslings Mickey Mouse Club Feathered Bangsīelieve what you may about the innocence of children, but there’s no way that every centimeter (metric system because he was still Canadian back then) of Young Gosling’s hair swoop here wasn’t carefully calculated to do battle with the mighty force of Justin Timberlake’s curls.

Wouldn’t be at all surprised if, on the first day of shooting, Gosling actually showed up in full Mystery Cat in the Hat regalia, and was convinced by panicked producers to strip it down until all he had was the ring. Now when, exactly - outside of wedlock and/or a Sports Illustrated photo shoot - has a purported “cool guy” ever rocked rings?

All he has is a big crappy mansion to work on, and big crappy mansions can’t talk with you about your feelings. The Notebook Beardīy the time Gosling ends up all scraggly and hermit-y and bearded, he’s been through World War II and watched his buddy, leading Hollywood talent manager E, die. Way before Ryan popped that toothpick in his mouth for Drive, we knew that this is a man who does not fear unleashing the gloriously romanticizing powers of a proper onscreen affectation.īut which of Gosling’s many onscreen affectations has been most imbued with the true, devil-may-care spirit of Ryan Gosling? Herewith, in honor of Pines (out in wide release tomorrow), some ratings. Also truth: The way this man does character elaborations based on physical traits or props is untouched in contemporary American cinema.
Well of course the bleeding dagger face tat in Place Beyond the Pines was Gosling’s idea! That Gosling is one of our finest screen actors is impossible to deny. And he said, ‘Hey D … I wanna get a face tattoo.’ And I was like, ‘Really? A face tattoo?’ He says, ‘Yeah.
