it really is kind of interesting how attached people are to the idea of the improvised line and the genuine reaction in film. nearly every single famous moment or line has some sort of claim floating around that it wasn't in the script and was either made up on the spot by an actor or was sprung as a surprise on the actors to get their 'real' reaction. you know, sometimes people do come up with good lines in advance and write them down, and sometimes people can pretend to be have a convincing emotional response on screen

[squishy-gumble]

also important to note that a lot of the 'improvised' lines that people talk about are things that might not be in the script, that the actors cone up with while shooting, but still discuss and figure out with the director before shooting the final takes. genuinely improvised lines without any prior knowledge are pretty rare. i think instances when the people involved in making a film collaborate to make changes to a script are really cool, and the fetishisation of the 'genuine reaction' and 'improvised line' also cheapen this form of 'improvisation' i.e. collaboration and flexibility among artists

"pretend to be have a convincing emotional response on screen," also known as "acting"

[prudishbimbo]

I think this also kind of connects back to this ongoing conversation about the importance of authenticity and if they're truly is a authentic version of the self/something that is not a performance

Seeking a real truth in the play of performance and living

[dark-lord-anaphylaxis]

I remember being in a play in high school and trying to work myself up to tears, then watching a video of rehearsal and realizing that "working yourself up to tears" doesn't look like anything out in the audience. After I started actually purposefully acting and thinking about my body language my scenes went much better

Same with the feedback "look like you're having fun" while playing clarinet; you simply have to fake it, at least with my "natural" face being relatively inexpressive

But I think the idea that we are more convinced by acting than "authentic" reactions is scary, because it means we can't read people as well as we would like, and that's fair

gripping the shoulders of every youtuber ever. look up that unfamiliar word before you pronounce it. especially if it's not a word from your native language but honestly double check the ones that are native to you if you've only seen them in writing. you will thank yourself later.

[cooking-with-hailstones]

I hate to break it to y'all, most of them are FULLY doing it on purpose to drive video engagement with tons of comments going "hey it's actually pronounced like this ..."

Then they can go "oh thanks for correcting me!" And then mispronounce a different word in a future video and the cycle begins all over again.

i think its fun when people use the trope of vampires thinking that werewolves smell like shit but its especially funny to me when they say a werewolf smells like 'wet dog' . like specifically WET dog? not dry dog? something about werewolves makes them smell damper than any normal dog even if theyre dry as a bone? fascinating implications. wet werewolf vs creepy vampire. much to consider.
