Did you ever watch In Bruges? I'd be curious to hear what you think of the dwarf actor role in that.

[(Anonymous)]

i read the summary on wiki, does his character do anything before the end?

[(Anonymous)]

That depends on what your definition of "do" is. It's not the kind of movie where characters just do things. You've got to see it to know what I mean.

Lots and lots of coke and prostitutes, but nothing really central to the plot, IIRC.

[(Anonymous)]

He's an actor in a pretentious art movie, and has some of the funniest lines in an already quotable film. Jordan Prentice is really rather awesome in the role. (He's also the guy in the Napoleon hat in OP's secret.)

Hookers and blow.

I thought it was pretty poor. Throw in a dwarf to show how crazy the night has become. It must be crazy if there's a dwarf! No way do they do normal things like the rest of us... oh wait... actually...

[(Anonymous)]

But the fact that Jimmy's shown to be a normal dude with some off-color opinions like everyone else shows that it's not a crazy thing. And the sequence Jimmy's filming at the end ("the psychotic dwarf turns out to have been some schoolboy dream") is kind of a commentary on that surreal dwarf media depiction.

[inevitableentresol]

It could have been worse, yes. They did attempt to subvert the trope.

I'm a little coloured by the fact I swayed greatly between enjoying the film and finding it terribly schlocky all the way through.

Edit: I forgot to say, they did that 'commentary on surreal dwarf depiction' thing in Trees Lounge over a decade before. It was funny and clever then. When the idea feels like it's stolen it's not so impressive.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it was not Trees Lounge, I think it was Living In Oblivion.

[inevitableentresol]

You are 100% right. I think I watched them one after another so I got mixed up.

Wow, Peter Dinklage was in that movie as well. He gets all the parts. That must have been the first thing I saw him in, although I didn't know who he was then.

I just saw him in an old episode of 30 Rock and then an ad for the new X-Men film. He's getting around.

[darkmanifest]

It's not a positive or dignified role by any means, but I guess it's better than being a twee magical sidekick.

That fucking movie.
