Andrew Garfield looking depressed in Lions for Lambs
The Big Picture While it generally takes an actor several years after entering the industry to become a household name, Andrew Garfield has had one of the quickest rises to prominence out of any young star. It was arguably his heartbreaking performance as Eduardo Saverin in The Social Network that first put Garfield on the map for cinema fans, indicating he could bring pathos and realism to films that were already nearly perfect.
Lions for Lambs RDramaThrillerWar Three stories told simultaneously in ninety minutes of real time: a Republican Senator who's a presidential hopeful gives an hour-long interview to a skeptical television reporter, detailing a strategy for victory in Afghanistan; two special forces ambushed on an Afghani ridge await rescue as Taliban forces close in; a poli-sci professor at a California college invites a student to re-engage.
Garfield is brilliant in Lions for Lambs because he serves as the audience’s stand-in character. Redford clearly had political goals with the film, but it's hard to take anything away from the sections of the film set in Afghanistan when they are so overt and loaded with takeaways.
Garfield’s role in Lions for Lambs was not an easy one, as it would’ve been very easy for Todd to be perceived as incredibly obnoxious. The film constantly undercuts his opinion that nothing he does matters by showing inspiring footage of Ernest and Arian on the front line. However, Garfield manages to ensure that Todd’s ignorance is a result of him not having an adequate mentor, and not because he is pretentious or cruel.
