Transvestite??!!


Geez I think this would probably be a good movie... if only I could stop thinking the love interest was a man!
Doesn't anyone else think she looks a little, er, masculine???
Just wondering if it's me or...

no, it's just one of those things that the director was trying to achieve through casting. franka potente was supposed to be a more masculine and look more masculine of a character because that's the role she's playing for elijah's character, because he's playing the more vulnerable of the two. and not to be sexist and say that the feminine is always more vulnerable, but that's just the way it's always been and what everyone recognises. the twist is the female in the dominant position, and you were smart to notice it, even if it creeps you out a little.

watch franka in "run lola, run", she's better in that.

She's ok in Run Lola run, though i first got to know her in Bourne Identity. Anyway, at no time did she look like a man. For me she was just natural and feminine. It was Mandy Moore that i thought looked a little unreal, in that she was too 'beautiful' to be a struggling anything.

I prefer Franka's beauty to Mandy's. It' more natural... But I prefer dark hair so :-))))
But, it's a little right to say that Franka's got a bit of a masculine face. Not really, justa bit. She's cute, though !

Yes, she does look like a man. Often does, especially when she scowls, as she usually is doing in this movie.

In fact, given the girls' respective looks and that whole surly mace-in-the-eyes act, it's pretty shocking that Wood DIDN'T end up with Moore.

I think she's really pretty, not manly at all. Maybe it's just cause you've got Elijah's gorgeous little angel-face right there, she looks more blokey. I totally prefere her to Mandy Moore, who could not be more bland-and-boring blonde if she tried. But it works for the character, and she turned out to be an obsessive nut-case anyway. :P
