well, its clear that keira and johnny have more chemistry between the two of them than pretty much anyone EVER>... 😉 to NOT give them major screentime would be nuts--- because their scenes are the scenes that MAKE the film. all the action, creepy villians, special effects, etc, and pulled together by the incredible depth those two manage to pull into really goofy scenes. its amazing. its a work of art.
however, they cant always write the stories around the actors, ya know? it would be nice if they did... but they write the story first and the actors are meant to make that story come across.
which is actually a GOOD thing if you look at that... because these are 3 professional, talented actors (two of which have academy nominations) and so they will stick to the STORY as much as possible... meaning the depth between Jack and Lizzie MUST have been in the story to begin with... must have originated, at least in some degree, with the writers and director.
they knew what bloom and knightley's chemistry was like when they cast them... so if Liz and Will really ARE supposed to have smoldering chemistry, they would have cast different people, right? cause they dont try hard at ALL to make the liz/will chemistry come across... you know they could fake it if they really needed to... but i guess that is not one of their priorities.... 😄
