What movie was you're first Ralph Fiennes discovery?

[Lyra]

I haven't posted anything on this site yet so I thought I would begin at the beginning. If it's possible to recall, in what movie or television program did you have you're first Ralph moment? A place in time when the light came on and you realized what talent and/or handsomeness :) you were witnessing. The moment came for me when I was watching Red Dragon. It's the scene where he is waiting in his van for Reba to walk out of the building to wait for the bus. The way the blue lighting accentuated his facial features is what made my jaw drop. So, yes, it was his unbelievable handsomeness that hooked me at first. But then once I was hooked, I realized what a talented and phenomenal actor he is.

Can you remember the moment it happened to you?

From the moment I saw Red Dragon I was in love with him and his sexy voice, from when he was the shy quiet kind version of Francis to the dark and monsterous serial killer! xD So I have to agree with Lyra. Oh! Also the scene where he's in bed and looks so peaceful makes him look soo adorable waking up after a night with Reba. He did such a damn good job playing one of my favorite characters.

I discovered RF by total accident. My Dad had died on Christmas eve and so the holiday was a tortuous affair. I couldnt sleep one night so I sat up watching sky movies snd Onegin was shown. There it hit me....I was totally drawn in by RF and I searched thereafter for all his movies. He has been the best therapy for me, and when I feel a bit down I will pop in a dvd or listen to him reading the english patient. to quote Paul Weller 'You(ralph) do something to me'

Hoffe, es stört keinen, wenn ich nicht englisch schreibe. R.F.? Den Film,den er wohl am wenigsten mag: Maid in Manhattan oder Manhattan Love Story, wie er in Deutschland genannt wird, als ersten gesehen, er schien damals für die Rolle des Schönlings immer präsent sein zu müssen, aber in "Der Vorleser": grandios tragisch, leidend.. Mag das Leidende gar nicht, aber war und bin einfach nur fasziniert, kann da auch nichts Langweiliges oder Dröges erkennen, geht gar nicht, wenn er pures Gefühl darstellt. Ich werde garantiert keine Filme sehen, wo er so nach und nach zu sterben hat. "Sunshine" wäre so ein Film, der mir nicht gefallen würde.."Die Herzogin": auch exquisit, obwohl den Humor, der von ihm drinne sein sollte: leider vermißt. Man kann gar nicht sagen, was man noch alles an ihm gut finden kann..England ist zu beneiden um ihn..
