He tried to play his angst and being held back as this angle I guess as well, but reality, the guys an obedient little toadie for the most part, without any real flashes of hate until his mother is killed.

I agree with one exception, and it may have been accidental on the part of the young actor playing Anakin in Episode I. In the scene where he is in front of the Jedi council and Yoda decides that he is too old and will not be trained, young Anakin is seen to narrow his eyes and furrow his brow in anger and defiance just slightly in a way that foreshadows his character

It seems almost unintentional, almost as if the actor was naturally reacting, like a young boy told by his parents he can't have the new toy.

Yes, but that is 1 time.. if you interpret it that way.. someone with such darkness gnawing at his soul I would expect to show flashes of evil now and again... perhaps when he thinks no one is looking... YOu really don’t get this inner angst that is supposed to be broiling just under the surface anywhere in the character... if he’s struggling between light and dark for his very very soul, the dark is going to flare out now and again, even if discretely.
