wankgate | 190: it's so small I can't even see it in your gaping hole

and it's finally getting to the point where even white people are seeing a movie like dunkirk and coming away saying "i couldn't tell which was which, they were all brown-haired white english boys."

because it was a movie about actual white english boys and not muh diversity.

come on anon. a quick google can tell you that the uk at that time was super duper white. immigration didn't really kick in until the 1950s and the uk is 87% white even now.

i want representation in my media as much as the next person but this isn't a great place to fight for it

i haven't seen the film but if this image is an accurate representation of the main characters, then i can see where it would be difficult telling them apart.

as someone who complained about this, here are my 0.02$. it is actually historically accurate that they are so interchangeable and adds to the atmosphere of the film.

on the other hand, even if it was done deliberately, some of it is the on the people in charge of the film for not thinking of ways to make characters distinguishable. when you've got a lot of similar looking people doing similar looking things in high-intensity situations with grimdark lighting, they're going to get confused. it's also a film, so the time the audience has to see and identify each character is pretty limited, which doesn't help.

You're right. They should have all customised their uniforms like in gossip girl.

They could have had different hairstyles or facial features.

i know ur a troll but that's missing the point entirely

it could be a movie about literally fuckin anything but if the entire cast is white, it's still possible to be like "i can't tell them apart they're all brown-haired white english boys"

it's not the subject matter it's the literal faces of the ppl acting in the movie

I'm faceblind and depend entirely on hairstyles and clothing to tell people apart

dunkirk is pretty much my nightmare

war movies are the worst, by design everyone has the same outfit and hairstyle

holy crap, you're the only other person with faceblindness i've ever come across on dwrp. if you haven't already, i recommend taking the time to study voices too. i can tell when a minor actor from a b-list movie shows up in a commercial voiceover three years later. this has saved my ass so many times at work.

it's still a nightmare when my manager decides to dye her hair though.

oh shit i'm another faceblind anon ringing in! (the above shot of dunkirk actually massively tripped me out because i thought someone had photoshopped or cgi'd the same person three times over, i had no idea they were supposed to be different people.) i also def recommend the voice trick, it works wonders AND it's a nice party trick lol.

Another faceblind anon here. I definitely use voices+behaviors to recognize people. Or routines, really.

And that Dunkirk picture is a trip... they look like triplets???? i would not be able to ever tell who is who
