What stands out about Brian Cox playing the character of Logan Roy Inheritance, nose, chin and eyes. The chin is aided by a white-grey beard, but the nose and eyes remain intact, looking rough, sharp, and cold. Logan has the ability to unnerve people with his sight. His nose is well pointed and looks down on all the dregs.
Cox described the character as Shakespearean. The plot focuses on who takes the powerful throne of Waystar, the characters are full of tragic human emotions, and everything seems a little silly and dramatic. This story has universal appeal because of its emotional core.as Tom Hardy Inception “You have to start with the absolute basics: your relationship with your father,” he says. (by the way, Inception have a great deal in common with Inheritance. )
More than Shakespeare, Logan Roy brings to mind another seminal figure in literature, Ayn Rand’s Gale Wynand. fountain head. Gale is one of his central characters in Rand’s epics about capitalism, morality and humanity. Political leanings aside, the character is thoroughly compelling. Born into extreme poverty and abused by social inequality, he witnesses the harshness of human nature. Like the book’s protagonist Howard Rourke, Gale rises up despite everything stacking up against him. He started out as a small newspaper and went on to become one of the biggest and most profitable media magnates of his time. He lives at the pinnacle of wealth and luxury in a transparent glass penthouse. Below him is the city, above him only the stars are visible. He looks a lot like Logan Roy. Everything he publishes is, in a sense, absolute filth made for pure commercial purposes. Exactly like a Waystar. But both Logan and Gale are people with good taste. They are not stupid, divided, hopeless, or desolate. They’re ferocious, fierce, highly intelligent, and fucking mammoths.
Both of them had troubled childhoods, so their view of the world is shaped by cruelty. But let’s be honest, the compelling nature of their characters comes from the fact that we actually get it. We understand why they are. In fact, there is a warped sense of happiness when you see them for what they are.when I read fountain head, part of my heart loved Gail.looking at Inheritance, part of me wants to be Logan. I wondered why. I feel it has something to do with feeling that I was right.
Who doesn’t feel that they are doing something wrong? Who doesn’t feel that their life, progress, happiness and comfort are being held back by others? Is it due to something other than their own destiny and actions? Isn’t it human to have revenge against the world? Is it not natural, then, to want to take revenge for the cruel treatment inflicted on you? Maybe not, but I think both Logan and Gale feel that way. Rand writes that Gale’s character and actions are mostly justified, and therefore her political and moral views are questionable. Jesse Armstrong, on the other hand, is a cautious person. It’s not just because he’s left-leaning. The person who may best represent Armstrong’s position is Kendall Roy.
The show begins with his relationship with his father. Similar to our world, we live in a capitalist society today. While it guarantees freedom and security, it also deepens divisions. We see and understand why and how the world came to be the way it is. Most of us have found a way to deal with this problem ourselves and be happy with the status quo. Kendall is no exception. Kendall, the eldest of the three brothers, knows his father best, aside from Connor. Based on that understanding, he also recognizes how he is right and how he is wrong. Siborn is a rebel, and Romulus lives stunned by his father’s glory. Kendall (obviously which team I’m on), like Armstrong, is at a strange crossroads: where exactly will he go?
Throughout the four seasons, we see him trying to be Logan, going the other way, and back again. In this final season, Kendall finally seems to have found a steady, steady path. For some, it’s a bleak future. What’s remarkable is that the way Kendall comes to that conclusion isn’t out of some kind of revenge on the world. Kendall has barely breathed the air of that world, the harsh cruel life his father and Gail have undergone. fountain headwas born in Kendall lives in a world his father created. He was born into a family business rooted in values, the twisted nature of human beings seeking profit. That was Logan’s biggest “fuck you” to everyone who screwed him up. Kendall sees it and understands it, but he tries to get around it. Next week’s final episode will reveal what Kendall will become. I wouldn’t criticize him if he chose to be his father, Logan Roy (and Gail Wynand). Like me, he comes to that conclusion not because he hates the world. of course. In some ways, we are all. But his actions are not based on justification or revenge. He’s getting used to the way things are and what he needs to do to get where he wants to be. He tried to choose a better way. It didn’t work. At some point, people stop trying. I’m so fucking sad It’s fucking cruel. But I get it.as Mike Ehrmantraut Better Call Saul In the episode, he says, “I just play the cards I’m dealt.”
