“Smartphone face”: how actresses who are not suitable for roles in historical films are recognized on the Web

This effect is familiar to everyone.’between us – looking at old family photo albums, it’s impossible not to notice that people had the’look different, not because of hairstyles or clothes. D’others were the faces themselves; moreover, geography leaves its mark, and this n’is not a question of skin color, but of the characteristic features of the facial features inherent in the different genetic types.

Of course, this n’is no secret, and when filming d’a film, the casting specialists have always had the task of choosing the most reliable types and finishing the job with make-up and wigs.

But now it’is different – the internet is discussing the'”smartphone face” effect, which seems to be an increasingly important factor in the’Film Industry. The term itself was first mentioned in a Dazed magazine post and has now gone viral on social media. Users single out “smartphone beauties” among actresses, pointing out that the type of’appearance most sought after by modern girls, it s’turns out, is totally unsuited to a major film career.

Critics hit the’actress Camilla Morrone – l’former lover of Leo DiCaprio starred in the’one of the main roles in the famous television series Daisy Jones and The Six. Comments on the web’agree that, despite the impeccable stylization (the series is set in the 70s of the last century), Camilla al’foreign air in the frame, and it doesn’t s’don’t act’to act, but of his appearance.

Emily Ratajkowski has also been recorded as Camille’s “colleague” on the web – “it’s hard to’imagine in a historical costume project”.

But, of course, there are also positive examples – for example, Bella Ramsay, Saoirse Ronan, Jessica Chastain are undoubtedly called “historical figures”. The flaws of’appearance and charisma allow them to “s’integrate” to n’any era. And Keira Knightley is recognized as the real queen – her organicity in costume cinema confirms the’total absence of signs of’a “smartphone face”. Oddly enough, Margot Robbie has a good chance – her beauty is natural, and the right facial features allow you to create n’any image without time.

Although scientists argue that the last 50 years have been a period of stagnation in the evolutionary changes of human faces and bodies, it is impossible to deny that the’The beauty industry has more than made up for this lack of change – women and men voluntarily remake themselves according to certain unspoken standards. And, though it may give them the’opportunity to’acquire a share of notoriety and’influence, a bright personality is always at the maximum price.
