Keira Knightey

I didn't watch the whole of Domino but the parts I did see were laughable. A prim & proper posh girl being a bounty hunter. I think it was the line "i'll give you a lap dance" in that accent got my sides splitting.

From the outside it seems that she is perfect for the English period drama.


Mind you, I though she was ok in The Jacket.
 
I haven't seen her in many films. I quite liked Domino, Atonement was boring though she was okay - I'm going to see The Duchess on Tuesday, so I'll reserve judgement on that one for now.
 
unfortunately i can't take her seriously, as whenever she smiles she looks like a shark.
 
it would be really helpful if people could pop down how they think she is portryed only its for my cwk you see.
like is she shown as a sex symbol, a role model, tom boy etc ....

thanks :)
 
Period Drama actress. That's how I would classify her.
I'm sure many do see her as a sex symbol because of the photo shoots and nude scenes.
 
Totally agree. I'm a bloke (don't let the ID fool you - it's the missuses), but I have to say I don't get the appeal. I don't find her a strong actress at all, and I don't find her appealing visually either. She's kinda pretty in a plain way, but she gets far too much attention, when there are probably unknown actresses far more deserving out there.

Sorry Keira.
 
hey it would be really helpful if people could tell me how they view the portrayal of Keira Knightley regardless of how they view her as an actress?
thanx
 
Keira Knightey. My thoughts...

Too thin - borderline anorexic?
Pretty - elegant face
Too many period roles
Okay actress
Over exposed
Nice voice, middle-to-upper class sounding "the rain in spain stays mainly in the plain" :p
Seems a warm person, comes over well in interviews
If I were an actor I'd kill for her agent :D

I think her appeal is due to her elegant looking face - it's probably why she's secured many roles.
 
Keira Knightley:

Looks like a advert for famine relief. Keep her away from Bono & Geldof
Seems like a nice person
Stuck in doing stuff like Helena Bonham Carter , Kristin Scott Thomas , well voiced but stiff as a board style.

:)
 
Dunno why, but whenever I see Keira Knightley in a film she always looks as though she has just wandered onto the set and doesn't seem to know what's going on around her. She never looks comfortable on-screen to me.
 
I can't take her seriously in any film. She pouts and has about two face expressions. I don't think she's a very good actress. I shall avoid The Duchess because she's in it.
