Movie Thoughts - Legend (2015)




Time to talk about this British drama movie, Legend. The film features the double-trouble presence of Tom Hardy as both Reggie and Ronnie Kray, the twins who ruled London in 60s.

Actually, this is more about the performance of the man who once again makes me swoon by his mag-ni-fi-cent acting talent. He plays the schizophrenic, thoughtless and brutal but comical Ronnie Kray convincingly, while the other one, Reggie, is a swaggy, charming and romantic but sadistic Kray which he also plays him very gracefully. You can say that one is more a hero and the other is more a monster, but Tom makes sure the lines blur so you can’t really tell. The moment you think A is the badie and B is the goodie, you will then realize that it can be the other way around coz both are smartly twisted in their own characteristic. And Tom is killing it.

It’s basically a family drama between two bad boys. The special thing is these boy do not broke neighbors’ windows with their balls, but they own bar, shoot people in their head, and rule London hahaha. I love the Reggie-Ronnie brawl scene. It shows how much Reggie hates Ronnie and really wants to kill him, but he can’t coz he loves him. Aww~ It’s a rare thing to see: an actor creating chemistry with himself 👏👏 👏

The story is narrated by Reggie’s loving and delicate wife, to whom they (Reggie and Ronnie) are LEGEND.

After watching this, I finally discovered that the term “Kray Kray/Cray Cray” doesnt refer to the word “Crazy” but it refers to the Kray brothers who were completely Kray Kray back then lol
