Tom Hardy - English actor и producer. Oscar nominee and other awards. Famous for films such as Black Hawk, Survivor, Legend, Inception and others. Tom is a true professional of his craft. He actively prepares for his roles, which causes the admiration of directors and colleagues. Charismatic and attractive Hardy won the hearts of many women around the world. Let us consider his best roles on the screen.

1. Stuart: A Past Life (2007)

Quite few people think about the fact that all problems come from childhood. Insecurity, fears, personal grudges - all these situations can lead to an unbalanced psyche of a child and then to an adult. A similar theme is raised in the plot of the film directed by David Attwood "Stuart: A Past Life", the plot of which is based on the biographical novel by Masters "Stuart: A Life in Reverse". The story talks about the adult Stuart, gradually immersing the viewer in the childhood of the hero, clearly showing how the life of a child changes under the influence of external conditions and the influence of people. Tom Hardy reveals the character, his inner world, life circumstances and situations that can radically change an ordinary person.

The film is more profound than it may seem at first glance. It makes you think about your own life and actions. The film shows that all, even the most cruel and unstable people hide in the depths of their souls the pain and humiliation experienced years earlier. And, quite possibly, these events had such an impact on the essence and character of the now established adult. The conclusion is this: under any circumstances, we must remain real people, so as not to create evil and cruelty in the hearts of others.

2. The Beginning (2010)

Fantastic film. Leonardo DiCaprio's character Dom Cobb has a rare profession - he is able to penetrate people's dreams and steal the information he needs. But in a similar attempt to penetrate into the dreams of a Japanese tycoon, Dom Cobb receives from him the same task, which is associated with the destruction of a major corporation. Will Cobb be able to do it?

3. Warrior (2011)

A great sports drama. The film tells about two brothers, whose roads have been separated for a long time. Both of them are engaged in martial arts. However, fate confronts them at a major championship, where the brothers will have to fight each other in front of a crowd of people. All the pain and feelings of anger and rage between the relatives can be observed on the battlefield. How will the fierce battle between two blood brothers end?

The most interesting thing is that the director does not fully reveal what made the brothers Tommy and Brendan go to this brutal fight. The viewer has a lot to think about.....

4. Bribe (2009)

A quality British gangster film that has earned high praise from film critics and adoration from viewers. The plot is based on the story of the release from prison of a man named Freddie, who in the past was a gangster and murderer. Immediately after his release, Freddy is taken under his guardianship by a well-known mobster, who does not consider the hero's gangster past to be bad. The mobster then gives the bandit tasks to perform for a fee. Freddy also takes his cousin Jimmy and teaches him everything he knows.

The development of subsequent events is very interesting to watch, as the main characters Freddy and Jimmy are completely different from each other. And each of them finds his own methods and ways of solving problems. For example, Freddy is used to solve everything by force and weapons, and his opposite Jimmy - loves to analyse every step, carefully reviewing everything again. Tom played his role just brilliantly. Meanwhile, the actor had to lose weight to get the role, and he succeeded.

5. Legend (2015)

The film belongs to the genre of crime thrillers. We can say that this film is a one-actor theatre, as here the film star Tom Hardy had to play two completely opposite roles. The film tells the story, taking place in the 1960s with two twin brothers, who were involved in the very epicentre of the criminal business.

Tom Hardy had the difficult task of playing two twins, differing from each other in appearance, character, thoughts and temperament. In the meantime, the actor had to keep an eye on his own movements in the frame, so as not to "mix" and collide the twins.

6. The Dark Knight: Rebirth (2012)

This film is the third part of the well-known saga. It is a curious fact that Tom Hardy agreed to the role without even looking at the script. He had to gain fourteen kilograms of weight to look fat and larger. The film star also admitted that it was difficult for him to play fight scenes in the film. And not even because of the physical complexity of performing tricks, but psychological - in his teenage years, the actor loved Batman films.

This film turned out to be a fantastic ending to the trilogy directed by Christopher Nolan. The film was also able to overcome the threshold of cash collections at the box office - the amount went beyond a billion dollars.

7. Number 44 (2015)

After reading the reviews of many film critics, it can be concluded that this film is not able to understand not everyone. People of younger generation will hardly be able to penetrate the plot, because the film is more suitable for the minds of those who are personally familiar with the Soviet era.

It's worth noting that the film is based on Tom Smith's novel of the same name, based in part on stories about the investigation of mass crimes and the Chikatilo murders. Despite the seemingly beautiful idea of making the film, the motion picture was doomed to failure. This was due to several factors: a difficult plot, which would be hardly understandable to the common man, as well as the ban on showing the film in some countries, including Russia. The picture collected less than four million dollars at the cost of implementation of about fifty million dollars.
