We’ve all needed to come to just accept that some elements of films and TV reveals are simply gonna look bizarre because of the logistics of how they’re made. Characters are going to drink brandless drinks, the entire world goes to look suspiciously like California and youngsters are going to appear like twentysomethings. In any case, actual youngsters would require navigating education and labor legal guidelines and stuff. Who needs to cope with that?
Generally, although, it’s like they didn’t even attempt to persuade us these jaded geezers are fresh-faced adolescents. For instance, Redditor Fun_Protection_6939 identified to r/Motion pictures that whereas Grease is an “glorious film … actually none of them look and promote me as youngsters in highschool, particularly John Travolta.” In addition they cited Saoirse Ronan in Girl Chicken, who gave “a elegant efficiency, however I don’t assume she actually appeared the half for a high-schooler.”
They then requested for the “most egregious instances the place a clearly aged actor performs a young person?” and their fellow Redditors introduced a laundry listing of traditional old-timers making an attempt (and failing) to recapture their youth.
