On Anthony Minghella

Filed under: Anglophilia > Jude Law

Jude Law is speaking out on the sad death of director Anthony Minghella, a friend and frequent collaborator of his.

The pair worked on three films together: The Talented Mr. Ripley, Cold Mountain and Breaking and Entering.

Says Law:

"I am deeply shocked and saddened to hear of Anthony's untimely death. I worked with him on three films, more than with any other director, but had come to value him more as a friend than as a colleague. He was a brilliantly talented writer and director who wrote dialogue that was a joy to speak and then put it onto the screen in a way that always looked effortless. He made work feel like fun. He was a sweet, warm, bright and funny man who was interested in everything from football to opera, films, music, literature, people and most of all his family whom he adored and to whom I send my thoughts and love. I shall miss him hugely."

Sad.

      Very, very well written. The Brits are certainly more articulate than my fellow Americans. Especially the hordes of morons who seem drawn to this site.

      I never thought this pretty boy, who walked out on wife Sadie Frost and their three children, was capable of this level of decency. Wow. Jude Law may become palatable again.

      Will you stop with the nasty comments. A truly wonderful eprson died - everybody who knew him has no bad words to say about him. He is an erudite down to earth person and I love him everytime they interview him about his pictures.

      I feel sad for Jude. Minghella is one of his closest friends, he loks up to him as a mentor and a friend. He is such a great loss not only as a wodnerful director but because he is a wonderful human being.

      Well I guess Jude Law's out of work now.

      Jude's out of work now…you mean because he starred in 3 of Anthony's films out of 30? Brilliant math work.

      I liked Anthony's movies and am sorry he is gone. Too young.

      Are you just a freakin' moron or what? I was responding to #30 (who also happens to be more of a moron than you) who is actually the one that said Jude's out of work now. Do you have trouble comprehending what you read? If so, try reading it twice….moronic beyotch! I picuture you as a sniping little chihuahua…wait, was that word too big for you?

      What's the "I'm Special" bullshit, Perez?? God, you can be such a fat asshole! Jude IS special, waaaaaay more special than you'll EVER be. You're just a gay, fat, ugly gossip monger! So…piss off fat fuck! Go suck up to Madonna a and "Mimi" a little bit more, why doncha? Douch bag…You only like talentless fucks that look like transvestites. You make me wanna BARF!

      I think its a very appropriate comment. What were you expecting Perez?
      What I think is unbelievable is the smiling posture Gwyneth Paltrow had when asked about Minghella. Since when do you smile when saying that you are sad about someones death? Is she stupid?
