The Many Expressions of Mr. Thornton ( from North and South)

                                                   

In continuation of the Norht and South theme ( I started this blog only after seeing the miniseries this summer, and was inspired to be creative myself), here is another segment on North and South.  For those of you who have not seen it as yet, you can watch it in segments on youtube here. 


When eyes can say so much - As Mr. Thornton, Richard Armitage shows  such a wide range of emotions and  portrays such an expressive face, I had to do a photo collage to showcase a few of these expressive looks. 

It is really great to see when an actor  get into a character and "bring it to life" so well.  Like Colin Firth and Mr. Darcy, I think Richard Armitage has "immortalized" this role and no other actor can play this role again, without being compared to this performance.  Here are some of his expressions pulled together- the evil glare at Mr. Henry Lennox at the fair was evil - funny, the pain of "look back at me now' was real, the relief of "it was her brother" was collectively felt, the adoration in "sorry your mother could'nt join us" was so romantic, the amusement over the money proposition was sooo cute as are all the other tender moments displayed at the train station.  I especially liked his smirk when his mother chides him about getting dressed to go to dinner at the renegade clergyman's house ( like a lot of you ladies, can you tell that I have watched this movie many, many times :). What were your favourite moments?
