Yep, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Monte Carlo all have high incomes and low living costs - why? We all have banking secrecy. Luxembourg though is THE banking country, with the most amount of banks per square kilometre in the world.

Also there are no filming taxes in Luxembourg and as a result a lot of films get shot here in part. "George and Dragon" and "Girl with a Pearl Earring" to name a few.

So you're the ones responsible for that ****e!?! :mad:

Girl with a Pearl Earring was an excellent film. George and Dragon wasn't very good, no. But other films like "Saving Grace" were shot here. And that was a good film.

I'm not a Scarlett Johansson fan, and think less of Colin Firth, aso it wasn't going to play well with me.

That's just mean. His performance in Pride and Prejudice is amazing.

Hugh grant, colin firth and company only know how to play one role really. That's what's so damn annoying. They have one tone of voice, one expression and one mannerism. They're hardly actors at all.

Well I think he does a good job in the role as Darcy, and plays those sorts of roles very well, so he sticks to them, much like action actors stick to their roles.

Yes but a good actor can play any role.

Example - Johnny depp

Yep, we would have to pay 10000 (as you do for masters I believe) but it is heavily subsidised by our kind government.

not true...u would have to pay 3500 franks (that is less than 2000 pounds)! swissies pay 1000! SO the difference to british fees is massive! ANd im doing a bachelor..the masters will cost around 20000..at least at LSE that is the case

You speak like a true soviet russian.

At the same time a degree in a swiss university compared to a degree at Durham University in the UK - DO NOT COMPARE. If swiss universities are so good why aren't you going there?
The fees are in accordance with the standard of education you are getting. Just accept them.

No, in the UK we would have to pay 10,000 but we dont. You do however for a masters.

Just because he can't play many roles doesn't make him a bad actor in my opinion. He plays the roles he does well, why should he have to play parts in films he doesn't want to just to be a good actor, it makes little sense to do something he may not be as good at.

Just because someone can cook amazing sausage rolls, doesn't make them a good chef. The same goes for acting. Colin Firth can play the aloof romantic lead very well, because it's probably his character. He has 2 roles, essentially, himself and himself in a coat.

Reply 56

Agreed

By definition acting is the ability to suspend disbelief. If you're playing yourself then you're no longer suspending disbelief. No matter what coat you are wearing.
