Modest PSA # 5: Bella Casting

DISCLAIMER: THIS PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT IS NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM EVEN THOUGH IT PROBABLY SHOULD BE!

Hi, I'm Your Modest Guru and today I'm here to tell you of a tragic occurance that has protruded from the cast of films in recent years. Kristin Stewart. This is in no way an attack on Stewart's acting ability. She is talented. Her problem is not acting related, but casting related. It happens to many actors, it is called typecasting. Kristen Stewart's type happens to unfortunately be that of the depressed, introspective girl. It is annoying quite frankly. You will find in films such as Adventureland, Twilight, In the Land of Women, and The Messangers.

Signs of this typecasting can be found in a Kristen Stewart role if she shows signs of silence, distance, perpetual confusion, and an otherwise anti-social personality. Though her emotionally strung character role may have worked in In the Land of Women, it comes off as repetitive and lame in the long run. If she is to be redeemed in the audience's eyes simply watch films of hers where she is given more depth. These inlcude Into the Wild, Panic Room, and Zathura. She is still a good actress and we must have hope that she will go places in the future. Her latest film that will be coming out is called The Runaways, a biopic of the all girl band where Stewart herself will be portraying the famous Joan Jett. Things are looking up in the Bella Casting situation.

Now you know and knowing is half the battle. The rest Your Modest Guru leaves to you.
