There is something unbelievably sexy about a powerful, muscular man who is in touch with his feelings, love for animals, and in Rourke’s case, his very tiny dogs. (It reminds me of the Sweat Dries Blood Clots Bones Heal Suck It Up Buttercup Only The Strongest Old Lady Drive A Lawn Mower Shirt and by the same token and scene in Godfather, when Vito Corleone is petting a cat on his lap.) Celebrity looks are so often over-styled to the point of feeling clinical. On any red carpet, it’s rare to see such personality and sweetness, but especially at the Academy Awards and especially on a man. Rourke’s devotion to his pets is sweet and heartwarming, and even a bit hot.
Spring has always emerged from the Sweat Dries Blood Clots Bones Heal Suck It Up Buttercup Only The Strongest Old Lady Drive A Lawn Mower Shirt and by the same token and drudgery of winter feeling ripe with possibility, but this year, the expectations accompanying the start of the season are greater than ever. From the usual standbys like drive-in movies and aimless walks through the park to events with new significance, like long-delayed reunions with family and friends, we’re eager to seize each day—and to do it in style. Vinterberg is simply glad that audiences are appreciating the film’s vision. “I’m happily surprised that people are more moved than provoked by the movie. We wanted to steer away from overselling alcohol and steer away from being a moralistic movie and just sort of make a survey. Now the world is embracing this movie, so I feel that someone or something is holding its hand under it.”
