The coruscating performance of Fassbender in Shame is likely to last you a lifetime. For Steve Mcqueen “He’s once-in-a-generation actor. Michael is man’s man, but he has feminity too, a vulnerability, that’s quite beautiful. A lot of actors today are very masculine. You have to go back to actors like Brando and James Deam to find that combination. His openness is key to him being a great actor!”

Yes, in Method, more diligently studious. At least, part of Fassbender’s genius lies in his ability to shed his skin; in the flesh, he actually bears little resemblance to the lauded parts, something which , for now at least, has the paparazzi staring right through him. Another great Fassbender “thing” which is also at work in recent films like Jane Eyre is his ability to humanize morally complex characters who you think you could never possibly understand!!

Michael Fassbender is at just that pivotal moment : at the edge off the abyss , one foot learning, put out, into the unknown. And with all his openness on screen might be translated by the more conservative viewer as merely wantonly graphic.

Audiences are going to see more of Fassbender – every creased, inch, in fact – on screen than any fan. So in the darker recesses of blogosphere they are all known as the “Fassinators”!! But Fassbender’s reserves of openness shimmer when he talks of Oscars.

“I haven’t even thought about it!” he concedes. But he knows deep down that the biggest directors in the World are clamouring for him. And so are millions of fans. And thank you all for enjoying and sharing the post forward. Goodnight and God bless.
