September 10, 2013 Blog 2 part 2 (Casting)

Roxanne Coss played by:  To me Anne Hathaway more than proved her talents in Les Miserable.  She snagged an Academy Award for her performance.  Her rendition of "I Dreamed a Dream, " still echoes in my head.

Hosokawa:  I am certainly having a difficult time with this casting call.  Hosokawa should be played by an older, debonair gentleman.  This photo of Francis Ng grabbed my attention.  He shows a kind face and inviting eyes.  He is soft in his appearance, as I would imagine this character to be after meeting and spending so much time with Coss.

Gen:   This kind gentle spirit should be portrayed by Lee Byung-Hunn.  In this photo, his gentility protrudes as he leans forward in an effort to interact with his audience, much like Gen did in the novel.

Carmen:  Jessica Alba to portray Carmen.  She is young and beautiful though this is hidden by her terrorist costume.  Jessica's petite frame and small face capture the innocence felt by Carmen's character in Bel Canto.

Surprised by the ending?  Although we all would have like to Hosokawa and Coss run off into the sunset, it jsut could not end that way.  They shared their love for one another in the mansion and that is where the love had to stay.  Their relationship would not have earned such importance had it continued after the take over.  As for Coss and Wantabe marrying, I think this is a suitable fit.  These two now have a shared history.  They know each other's life without much study.  It is almost in memorial of the hostage crisis these two marry.  Thier lives will pay homage to their fallen soul mates.
