Hello! Could you please help me find a faceclaim that could be the older version (mid 30’s to early 40’s) of Nico Hiraga? Nico is japanese and white, so the face claim would also have to be similarly mixed! Thank you so much in advance, and I hope you’re having a great day/night! <3

Hello there, of course! hope you're having a great day <3

Will Sharpe (30-37)

Destin Daniel Cretton (36-44)

Cosmopolis (2012) Director - David Cronenberg, Cinematography - Peter Suschitzky "What is the flaw of human rationality? It pretends not to see the horror and death at the end of the schemes it builds. This is a protest against the future. They won't hold off the future. They want to normalize it, keep it from overwhelming the present. The future is always a wholeness, a sameness, we're all tall and happy there. This is why the future fails. It can never be the cool and happy place we want to make it."

Thoughts : Cosmopolis (2012)

With the recent announcement of Robert Pattinson’s casting as Batman, the internet was (of course) up in flames with the polarizing debate that ensued.  For those only familiar with Pattinson in the Twilight saga, the opposition was strong.  A brave few film fans (like myself), however, started listing films of Pattinson’s that proved his mettle.  I named the ones I was familiar with (Good Time and Damsel), but one film I’d not heard of kept popping up in defense of Pattinson : Cosmopolis.

Eric Packer (Robert Pattison), the billionaire currency speculator and asset manager, decides he needs a haircut.  In order to facilitate this haircut, Packer has to take one of his stretch limousines across town to his favorite barber right in the middle of a Presidential visit to the city... a visit that is increasing traffic and traffic jams.  Under the protection of Torval (Kevin Durand), his Chief of Security, Eric and his limo traverse deeper and deeper into Manhattan.  Along the way, Eric tends to personal matters, including encounters with his new bride Elise (Sarah Gadon), a meeting/affair with his art consultant Didi Fancher (Juliette Binoche), a full physical from Dr. Ingram (Bob Bainborough), and several meetings with members of his staff : Head of Technology and Cyber Security (and startup partner) Shiner (Jay Baruchel), Systems Analyst Michael Chin (Philip Nozuka), Chief of Finance Emily Hampshire (Jane Melman) and Chief of Theory Vija Kinsky (Samantha Morton).  As a celebrity funeral further impedes traffic, an anti-capitalist demonstration begins to form throughout Manhattan, making Eric’s presence in the street more dangerous by the moment.

The lived-in, heavily textured world of David Cronenberg is present in this film, but the thin veneer of the limousine provides an oddly filtered, slightly disconnected experience in it.  Add to this that most every location outside the limousine, be it Elise’s library, the diner, or even the tight sidewalks are almost as claustrophobic as the limousine, and you are given a perfect visual analogy for the separation and ensuing pressure that Eric feels in connection to the world around him and how it moves.  What seemed like parallel annoyances and obstructions to his simple goal become directly relevant, as the Presidential motorcade and heightened political unrest raises the credibility of threats, and the celebrity funeral that impedes his progress turns out to be the funeral for his favorite rapper, Brother Fez (played by K’naan).  The further and further than Eric gets from his comfort zone, the ‘realer’ the world gets, as the barriers of comfort and financial separation are eroded.

Eric and his needs/desires become a microcosm for the needs/desires of the grotesquely rich, and how the trajectory towards satisfying these needs/desires stays forward moving regardless of what’s going on in the world around them, or who is left in the wake of the journey.  Something as trivial as a haircut, especially on someone whose hair is well put together throughout the majority of the film, becomes a steadfast beacon that must be reached, with all business and other desires becoming forced to acquiesce to the gravity of the haircut’s will.  In the search and hopes of bedding his newlywed wife, he continually pushes her further and further away with his own sexual exploits that he rubs in her face.  His circle of confidants is tight, and driven by what benefits him, be it financially, sexually or otherwise, making his journey as twisted as the premise presented.

The tension in this film is so tight that it feels all hell could break loose at any given moment.  The aged, earth-tone finish to the color timing gives the film a quality that makes it hard to pinpoint any particular time or era, with shades of many eras making their presence felt.  The journey from Manhattan to Uptown is unfolded in the background slowly but surely, giving the journey a Dante’s Inferno feeling of going deeper and deeper into the danger.  As mentioned earlier, the claustrophobic nature of this film permeates no matter the location, putting the viewer face to face with Eric’s nature and convictions, making it impossible to set aside.  The soundtrack and score drive home the brooding nature of the film, but give it a life not necessarily present in the other works of Cronenberg (or at least not the works I am familiar with).

Robert Pattison displays a huge sense of entitlement and tone-deaf nature that suits the disconnected nature of a billionaire from the greater populous, using the performance as both a distancing mechanism and a backhanded way to gain sympathy as the story progresses.  Sarah Gadon shows the unconditional love of wanting her husband to succeed, but the heartbreak of knowing she made the mistake of marrying an unfaithful man.  Zeljko Kecojevic gives the feeling that he is not on the up and up despite being on top of his job, making him a shadow antagonist with his tethered presence.  Eric’s staff is made up of people who mirror ideals more so than characters : Juliette Binoche represents temptation and limitation, Jay Baruchel echoes the burden of manifesting dreams, Samantha Morton shows that success is a state of constant worry and planning, while Philip Nozuka represents dealing with issues rather than letting them control you.  Patricia McKenzie plays another distracting temptation, but one that is controlling the situation rather than allowing Eric to fulfill his whims.  Appearances by Paul Giamatti, Mathieu Amairic, Kevin Durand, K’Naan and Bob Bainborough round things out.

For those in belief that Robert Pattison is a one-note actor, not only can a film like Cosmopolis dispel these thoughts, but it also shows that he has the qualities needed to portray a character like Bruce Wayne.  I’m definitely curious about the future of the Batman character in light of DC’s recent history, but I do believe this casting is a step in the right direction.
