The Thing About Ryan Gosling
He looks like a Ken, but he’s a rarity in Hollywood: an actor who is comfortable supporting a female movie star.
The film smuggles into its acid-bright grooves jokes about fascism, women’s ability to juggle emotion and logic, and the banality of Zack Snyder’s Justice League cut, all while asking more meaningful questions about the nature of womanhood and existence itself. He broke out as an adult lead in The Notebook(2004), the first time he was asked to shine without obscuring the primacy of his female co-star, a dynamic he carried into more artful, lower-budget material like Half Nelson(2006, for which he earned his first Oscar nomination),Lars and the Real Girl(2007), and Blue Valentine(2010). Movies like Now, Voyager and Clash by Night were crucial to the development of stars as different as Barbara Stanwyck, Katharine Hepburn, and Bette Davis, and required great male actors of the studio system like Cary Grant and Clark Gable to bend to the needs of their counterparts.
