Susan,
("Oh, no, you're not going off on a tangent at all! Thanks for bringing us back on topic again.")
Thanks! :-)

("Yes, the wild unkempt hair ... and, Erin's favorite, the ripped shirt are my favorite features in the first part of JI.")
The first time I saw this movie I didn't even recognize RN. I had only seen him as LJS, so it absolutely blew my mind when I saw him so young and handsome - not that Silver isn't cute, too!

("... But alas, they tidy him up too much for the rest of the film.")
You are so right about that! He carried the unkempt, rugged look so well.

("...Thomas and Salvation are carrying him over to Harry, who's holding the rope in the background. I love it when the one guy drops one of his legs and he doesn't even flinch; that was some great unconscious acting there!")
Yes! That was a clever bit of unconscious acting! It's more difficult than people may think and requires control and trust of one's fellow actors. That control he had over his whole body in all of his performances is another of my favorite things about his acting.
Here's a question for you: when Mary cuts Jem down and he falls to the floor, did RN do that or was it a stunt person?
