I've always liked him. Particularly that he didn't fall into the trap of romantic leading man.


Brad Pitt and the Beauty Trap
Male stars face a double standard, too, and ever since he bared his chest in “Thelma & Louise,” his work has been undervalued. But look closer and he explores masculinity in complex ways.

By Manohla Dargis

The meaning of Brad Pitt — as actor, star and supreme visual fetish — can be traced to the moment in the 1991 film “Thelma & Louise” when the camera pans up from his bare chest to his face like a caress... The delirium has resumed with Quentin Tarantino’s “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood,” in which Pitt plays the Pitt-perfect role of Cliff Booth, a seasoned stunt man and coolest of cats.

Glad he won an Oscar tonight, yet didn't need to hear his political views. I agree it is a double standard for men. They are doing their job, yet women take offense. Can we say Super Bowl halftime show?

I'll have to see the movie now, but agree, pretty or not, he also needs to shut up with his political views.

No he doesn't. Free country. American Citizen. Part and parcel.

I agree.

And in terms of his acting, by coincidence I just watched "A River Runs Through It" this past weekend. He's always been magnetic on screen. A fine, and at least until now, under-valued actor.

Yes, another do as I say, not as I do Hollywood elite hypocrite. Running around screaming about global warming while jetting around the world in a private jet.

He needs to worry more about keeping sober.

Fight Club and OUATIH, Pitt has truly developed into an excellent actor.

I don't even care what his political views are, he's never expressed them in an obnoxious manner, so they wouldn't even matter to me.

Anyway, I love every role I've ever seen him in. Just watched the movie "Seven" the other day.
