![]() In this example the design is intentionally ugly, but Gollum still is very appealing in his way. Have you seen Hoodwinked? Look at these characters: A character design can support all this but in the end it’s only the acting that makes it believable – appearance is just a tool. Of course the different personalities are also made through the script and the costume, but good actors can switch their set of facial expressions with regard to what their current role demands – bringing out more of this and less of that attribute. It’s amazing how actors always have the same face but can play pretty different roles. ![]() Standards of beauty alone don’t make a good, appealing character. Hollywood and TV channels constantly try to make films that mostly rely on their actors being beautiful and young, but those films hardly will be remembered in a couple of years. ![]() The direct conclusion is that for a film characters with different personalities, believable acting, well written dialog and a good story are more important than the standards of beauty. The reason is obviously because the advertisement industry filtered these persons according to an ideal, a standard of beauty that attracts the most people, whereas the actor’s success is mostly (or at least additionally) based on their acting skills. We get the feeling that all of them have a similar character – confident, cold, arrogant. Isn’t it weird how that is not only visually (the eyebrows, the noses, the shape of the faces) but also from how we think such a person’s personality must be. As you can see the models look more similar to each other than the actors do. Yes there is an age difference, but ignore that for a second.
