Hollywood is evil.

[syo]

Hollywood and all modern acting in general is evil. All of them. Why?

Because actors should NEVER perform showing their bodies and face.

A true actor wears heavy costumes, covers all of their head and hair with masks and hats, and they also must alter their voice. THAT'S true acting.

Now, actors do sex scenes, kiss other actors, show their bodies, because directors are dirty. They are PORN.

All I require of an actor is that he or she be convincing. The word evil has little utility for me especially in contexts like these where no actual harm occurs, and I don't mind at all if people show their faces or bodies. Those seem like Abrahamic religious values to me, meaning accepted on faith, moralistic, harshly judgmental, and arbitrary, and serving no constructive purpose.

In proper theatre there are heavy costumes, masks and hats. Without these, there is no theatre. In Hollywood people are naked.

Hollywood actors sure go far for the sake of realism and professionality.
Not just in romantic and sexual scenes.
Sometimes the director and/or crew messes with the actor's heads to make the emotions they're supposed to display more sincere and credible.

And imagine, people want to become actors.

There was a time I considered becoming an actor too.
Glad I didn't go for it.
Not my scene.
Pun intended.

What makes this evil?

What makes this evil?

In theatre, everything is fiction - lies. So, the actor should lie too.

In Hollywood, they use their real face and body, for god's sake!

Fiction is different than lying, though.

Still, what makes that "evil"? Acting provides entertainment and education.

Fiction is lies. If you disagree on that, I can't do anything.

Lying is being purposely dishonest to mislead. In fiction, the purpose is to entertain or educate. It is known to not be true.

Too complicate. I don't follow.

That would be extremely poor acting, however. Aside from being quite silly. A good play explores the themes of human life, love, hatred, success, failure -- all of it.

What is it you despise about bodies and faces?

 

[Guitar's Cry]

Too complicate. I don't follow.

A person lies in order to make another person believe something that isn't real. The audience isn't supposed to know it's made up.

Fiction is made up in order to entertain or educate someone. The audience knows it's made up.

They show the actor's identity.

What an impoverished view of the arts you have! How sad.

One of the best plays I've ever seen was a Canadian production of the Elephant Man, in which actor Philip Anglim, who is very good looking, played the hideously deformed and repulsive John Merrick -- without make-up, in his own face. It is the actor's skill at his craft that allows him to take his audience with him.

As Shakespeare says, in the Prologue to his play Henry V, "And let us (the cast), on your imaginary forces work."

Henry V, Prologue

O for a Muse of fire, that would ascend
The brightest heaven of invention,
A kingdom for a stage, princes to act
And monarchs to behold the swelling scene!
Then should the warlike Harry, like himself,
Assume the port of Mars; and at his heels,
Leash'd in like hounds, should famine, sword and fire
Crouch for employment. But pardon, and gentles all,
The flat unraised spirits that have dared
On this unworthy scaffold to bring forth
So great an object: can this cockpit hold
The vasty fields of France? or may we cram
Within this wooden O the very casques
That did affright the air at Agincourt?
O, pardon! since a crooked figure may
Attest in little place a million;
And let us, ciphers to this great accompt,
On your imaginary forces work.
Suppose within the girdle of these walls
Are now confined two mighty monarchies,
Whose high upreared and abutting fronts
The perilous narrow ocean parts asunder:
Piece out our imperfections with your thoughts;
Into a thousand parts divide one man,
And make imaginary puissance;
Think when we talk of horses, that you see them
Printing their proud hoofs i' the receiving earth;
For 'tis your thoughts that now must deck our kings,
Carry them here and there; jumping o'er times,
Turning the accomplishment of many years
Into an hour-glass: for the which supply,
Admit me Chorus to this history;
Who prologue-like your humble patience pray,
Gently to hear, kindly to judge, our play.

Poor lad. I feel sorry for him.

He should have put on a mask.
