In March 2022, I watched The Power of the Dog for the first time at Kinema Junpo Theater. The drama film was released in 2021. It is based on the book with the same title written by Thomas Savage in 1967. The story is set in the late 1920s and in Montana, the United States. The film is directed by Jane Campion and stars Benedict Cumberbatch.
It follows two men who lived in far more
conservative times when LGBT people have to confess their secrets quite
carefully.
The prettiness of Thomasin Mckenzie totally
fascinated me in Jojo Rabbit and Last Night in Soho, so I came to want to watch
the drama movie when I knew that she is in it, at the same time, I also came to want to see today's Kirsten Dunst, who is famous as Mary Jane "MJ" Watson.
As for Thomasin, I was disappointed because her appearance scene was shorter
than even in Old where she acted for
a short time. Dunst gave a good performance as a wife who is mentally bullied
and cornered by her step-brother, though Benedict Cumberbatch's presence was
too overwhelming to keep interest in the two actors halfway. His acting was
really wonderful. I could not take my eyes off of him even at a moment. I felt
that his nomination was natural for the 2022 Academy Award for Best Actor.
Although Will Smith won the Oscar in King Richard, yet I think that Cumberbatch's
acting was better in it. Moreover, a macho performed by the English actor was sensitively
and delicately depicted maybe because the director is a woman. How women feel about
men makes us aware of many things about us on the contrary.
