Transcript

[(Anonymous)]

I've been avoiding American films & TV lately: it's the faces. am I watching a film or am I visiting Madame Tussauds? I'm probably missing out on a masterpiece or two but the first hint of fillers or injections and I'm out. I want to see real faces and expressions. I want the immersion. I want the ugly.

is she [Kim Kardashian in All's Fair] crying or smiling?

[(Anonymous)]

Haven't watched "All's Fair" but I cackle at that shot because all unrelated reviews I watched of this show used this scene to talk about how wooden Kim's acting is.

It immediately cuts to the ladies in the office being all, "That is so awful your husband wants a divorce! You must feel miserable," to make up for Kim's lack of acting.

Someone pointed out that in that shot, out of context you can only guess what's going on. Is she advertising for makeup or jewelry? An ad for home security? Is she hearing good news or bad news? Who knows but her look slays and she plays a successful lawyer so who cares?

However, I like seeing the opposite reaction to Claire Danes. Fans applaud how from "My So-Called Life" to "The Beast in Me" she uses her face to express every emotion. Forehead wrinkles, brow creases, frown lines. Her chin wobbles are legendary. I love that she's always a reminder what advantages there are to being able to use every part of her body to act.

Re: your last paragraph. I've been watching "All Creatures Great and Small", with the late, great Diana Rigg as Mrs Pumphrey. Wrinkles and all, she absolutely owns every scene she's in. Even Sam West basically stands by, watches and learns.

I think what's tragic is how actually good actresses killed all their own potential by making sure their facial expressions - one of the main things they need for good acting - have gone entirely unresponsive.

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, it's not like they did it out of nowhere. They're under massive pressure to appear young and thin, not just by tabloids and social media, but in order to work at all. I don't really blame them for not dealing with that kind of pressure well, particularly in that industry.

[(Anonymous)]

It really depends what character they're playing, for me. Like, in The Diplomat, Alison Janney and Celia Imrie are less than a decade apart, but Janney (who can at least move most of her face) is wrinkle-free and looks much younger; Imrie looks her age and uses it. But it works for the characters, too. Janney is playing a high ranking US politician, Imrie is playing a UK Tory political fixer.

[(Anonymous)]

I will never understand this trend. Especially when really young women are having these procedures done, that age them! Instead of looking 25, they look like a 45 year old trying to look 25. I just don't get it.

[(Anonymous)]

Same!
Like I understand older actresses - they are under pressure to look young and smooth. But younger? They look really bad

[(Anonymous)]

Hollywood actors are looking more and more homogeneous these days, too... smooth, pore-free skin, narrow pert noses, chiseled jawlines, high cheekbones, flawless brows, full lips, perfectly straight teeth that are so white they blind you, not a wrinkle to be seen unless someone's playing a grandma/grandpa character. It's honestly kind of off-puttingly spooky.
