YESSSS. Duchenne smiles happen spontaneously due to joy or amusement, and they involve the eye-wrinkly thing like andalites are described as doing. Non-Duchenne smiles are the kind we do to be polite, to be photographed, to create a smile outside of amusement/joy — it’s not necessarily lying, but usually about trying to smile on command.
There’s also a FASCINATING cultural discrepancy wherein people from more individualistic cultures (U.S., Australia, Germany, South Africa, etc.) look more at the mouth to detect smiles, whereas people from more collectivistic cultures (Japan, Venezuela, Kenya, India, etc.) look more at the eyes. So the idea of “smile is something you do with your mouth” is way more common in the U.S. than, say, South Korea.
This is an interesting thing because most people don’t know what a smile actually entails. Most animals that are capable of expressing emotions do it with their eyes, ears, and body language. But we get told a smile is something you do with your mouth, which is wrong.
If somebody smiles at you with only their mouth, they are lying through their teeth. Genuine smiles always involve the eyes.
i genuinely did not remember how fucked up the plot of robots (2005) was like. rich robot capitalists stop manufacturing certain parts to cause poor robots to become obsolete so they can be melted down and their metal remains used to create more high end products in the name of profit like wow thats genuinely horrifying for a movie whos target audience was mainly 8 year olds
this is the same movie that has a character with an ass thats twice the size of her body
Okay I reblogged this before BUT the visual contrast between the first scene and the second one is fantastic. The first sets Peter’s vibrantly multicolored suit up against the black & white colors of the reactor; the second does the same thing, but switches the palettes. Now the background is in reds and blues and Miles’ suit is the black and white. And he still catches the eye in a screen full of moving parts. THIS MOVIE, GUYS.
It’s Miles standing out against the colors of the original Spider Man.
this remains a masterclass in How to Make a Comic Book Movie
One of the most beautiful films made in the last decade – animated or live-action.
Hello internet! My name is Tre and this is a blog, for lack of a better term. I'm a college student, a nerd, a writer, a musician and (previously) radio DJ, a technology junkie, a cartoon/comic book/vidyagam fan and a pop culture aficionado. This is where I keep all of the junk that fascinates, excites, confuses and intrigues me. (That's basically just a fancy way of saying I put memes and stuff here.)
I'm black, twenty-one, mostly male, and I use he/his pronouns. Feel free to poke around, or say hello.
