To hire…well…something different, I visited the video store.
I ended up picking a Simon Pegg DVD. I actually enjoy his films, though I must say that “Fear of Everything” didn’t really showcase his best work.
While it has the vibe of an old Ealing Comedy, it lacks a quality script. The film attempted to cover a wide array of topics – neurosis, psychiatry, pathos, family tragedy, comedy, and even cartoons.
Nonetheless, Simon Pegg delivered a strong performance, and his ability to choose perfect actresses for his films is commendable.
I will eagerly anticipate his next project. He exhibits bravery in exploring new genres to showcase his talents.
There were indeed a few moments in the film that highlighted Pegg’s unique sense of humor, and I found myself laughing. Simon is a significantly underappreciated actor. I expect that a genius will emerge from his work as he gains more experience. Being a great learner, he has the ideal example of classic comedies in Ealing to help him reach his full potential.
Could he be the next Hancock, or perhaps even Hitchcock?
