Child labor laws?

[(Anonymous)]

It could be the more strict child labor laws affecting that? But Idk, maybe casting directors don't care as much with kid actors in the UK.

[(Anonymous)]

Idk what shows you are judging this by but I think child acting has gotten awful in the last decade+. It honestly kind of amazes me that there could be worse.

[(Anonymous)]

outside of stranger things what US show has good child actors? most of them suck because they're kids and don't know how to act yet.

[(Anonymous)]

Same reason that the West End musical talent is so shit compared to Broadway: nowhere near as much choice. I mean we're talking about an island, even if it is a giant one.

Honestly comparing the singing in Six between the OG Cast and the OBC Cast it's embarrassing for the West End.

[(Anonymous)]

It actually makes me think we should have conversations about whether or not we should be giving prominent roles to child actors to begin with anyway. Get into the ethics of hiring child actors, and creating entertainment for children while also trying to do as little harm to the children hired for these things.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't get it either - I thought that the child actors were dreadful in Good Omens, for example, and I'm afraid I don't think any of the main kids in Harry Potter could (and still can't!) act for toffee. Not that the kid playing Anakin in the Phantom Menace was any better. Whereas the younger actors in Game of Thrones did really well, I felt, and the kiddo who played Lyra in the Golden Compass movie too, as a couple of counter-examples.

[(Anonymous)]

Probably classism. It usually is when it comes to the UK sucking. Does England still recruit its child actors from the same half dozen middle class agents who all went to the same school, and who put forward the kids of their friends who also went to that school? Because that is how it used to be. I think it is probably still mostly the same. Perhaps a little bit looser, but you can't breed a population for a thousand years to Know Your Place without some sort of lingering social effects.

The rules are so strict in the UK and the casting is usually done locally because again, there are more rules about kids being away from home. If you ever see an open call for Matilda you'll see that they must live within a certain distance. It's also a huge amount of work for a kid who has to keep up their schooling as well...and there are very, very few directors who have figured out to work with kids. I remember a very famous director reducing a child to tears because the child was tired and not performing how the director wanted.

[(Anonymous)]

Anyone who wants to see amazing kid performances...Matilda the Musical and Outnumbered.

Futurama is one of many "clever and occasionally hilarious but too full of annoying/hard to like people" media that I try to watch, but end up not enjoying.

Who is this and what movie?

I generally agree but in this case, I'm just incredibly curious to see what the director of Drive does with Enid Blyton. Will it end up being terrible? Almost certainly. But I'm still curious.

I join artfight for the first time, hoping to finally kick myself in the pants about learning to draw instead of spinning my wheels for two more decades, and what the hell is going on with the staff all of a sudden.
