[HPFGU-Movie] Re: petition to fire Gambon/yet again!!!

[Mik]

i have to put my two cents in:
   
  i think it's the directing, not the acting, on his part.  I think that he was told to go in the direction he's been in.  If not, he would have been corrected on set, no?  no, he's not as good as his predecessor, goddess bless him, but i think he's as close as anyone's going to get.  i think its a shame that anyone should sign a petition to get the poor guy fired.  wouldnt you feel bad signing that, knowing it was your fault he was fired????  and anyways, anytime they change people to play a character for whatever the reason, it's ALWAYS a let down, since you now have a 'character identity' with that particular actor.
   
  just my two cents.

Sionwitch:
Marlo, I agree with you there, maybe if Gambon were directed better
and be ask to act more like the Dumbledore from the books he would be
just fine. Today I was watching the PoA DVD and Gambon is really good
in it, he really has the playful and mischievous Dumbledore
characterization there. But then yousee him in GoF screaming and
jumping around, and I wonder why such a change form the Dumbledore
from PoA?. I can only think of the director, because I think the
script was written for the same person, so the only answer would be
the director. I only can hope that the new the director and the next,
direct Gambon to be like in PoA. I will write to the person who
started the petition to ask her if she can change it  to ask Gambon to
act more like the Dumbledore from the books.
