We saw this yesterday and she couldn't believe what a bad actor she was. Every time she would cast her gaze heavenward and go on about how much she loves the Pie, my little girl would start giggling uncontrollably and would look away in embarrassment.
shareWhat would your 6 year old know about acting? About now, she probably thinks Miley Cyrus has talent.
It sounds more like your "little girl" has mental issues.

"It sounds like you have an enormous dildo up your ass"
Now we all know where your child gets her stupidity.
Wow, so you just go around insulting 6-year-olds? That's what you do, waiting, waiting, and then pounce! I hear there's an elementary school less than a mile from your house. Why don't you go down to the playground and start picking on all the fatties and retards there?
Nice life you must have, especially with that enormous dildo up your ass.
I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.
Taylor is an impassioned, dreamy young girl in this film. Velvet is a girl whose emotions are unchecked by TV and mean girl peers telling her how to express and behave. She lives in her own world. Like Bieber fans.
Check out some of those girls and their mania and then tell me how bad Taylor's performance is.
Actors were a lot less afraid of emotions before minimalistic style came in.
Kristen Stewart-type monosyllabic muttering is considered an adolescent "realistic" style. (She just looks like she needs bran to me.)
The problem is that minimalistic acting is too controlled. We can't see unbridled enthusiasm, cheery optimism or even hurt unless it's doled out so as not to offend a sense of theatre we are used to.
It makes even real-life reactions unwatchable in news reports.
Yet, conversely we seize upon "reality" TV to watch acting we would never buy if it were (though it IS, folks)"scripted."
There's nothing wrong with Taylor's performance, and everything right with it.
There's everything wrong with the bed scene and its innocence is lost on this sexually aware society. But a naïve young girl might very well do such an action. It still has truth. It's uncomfortable--as is a lot of the unvarnished emotion for some audience members.
Taylor's speech about how the Pi broke his heart to win for her is beautiful, and even by modern sensibilities, coherent in it's ethereal, effusive explanation of the fusing of wills.
That a little girl could even latch onto and lampoon characteristics that she finds so heightened as to be new or jarring, seems like a high recommendation for the unaccustomed earnestness and memorability of that particular performance- rather than the slam that's intended by it.
