Life TV; Life, mine
Dec. 10th, 2007 07:14 pmI re-watched the last ep of Life 3 times, and the next to last ep twice over the weekend, and love this show even more.
Something I noticed, then double checked against both eps (the only ones I have left on my Tivo, alas), and really enjoy is how expressive the actors faces are. I first noticed it in the scene where Dani and Charlie are sitting on steps outside the bank, then Charlie gets a call from Jack. Dani squints, raises her eyebrows, furrows her brow, glances aside at him.. as she usually does, but I really noticed it. Her face MOVES. It's a sad commentary that it's so unusual for someone's face to be this normal and flexible instead of Botox-immovable, right? Charlie's is just as expressive in both eps, except that in most of the last ep, he's relatively stony-faced, which is in perfect character synch with what's going on. If either of these actors get Botox and we begin to fail to be able to see where they furrow their brows, I will be very, very sad.
