This time around I collected lots of good facial expressions.
I was listening to an interview last night of the makeup artist for Gary Oldman as Winston Churchill; The Grinch and many more- and an interview with the monster player who is finally landed as a leading man as a fish guy in The Shape of Water. The Japanese guy; raised in Kyoto, was talking about that city's tradition of looking one way- showing emotion on top of the real emotion underneath- when people are being fake. I wonder if Kyoto is actually any different than the rest of this earth.
Back to Lost:
Good cast.
Nice scenery- spectacular now and then- probably on purpose- not all the time to emphasize certain points.
Few aerial shots- extremely effective.
I only watched a little of the narrated commentary on the first episode; but I really liked the way they stopped the show to show clips.
I've been wondering about ancient times; or different times and societies and just wondering if maybe we talk too much. There are so many words in the English language: so obviously talking doesn't have to be done like that since so many other dictionaries are so incredibly smaller. That's obvious. But what about the volume of words?
Discovering a great actress who I didn't even know was acting has made me think how much of liars and exaggerators we all are. What about if we just said less? I notice ancient literature isn't dialogue driven. Do you think they talked more like that? They just said fewer words- more of what they actually meant and maybe only liars lied?
