Also, visual shorthands for characterization cues, that is something I forget to think about consciously, and never has it been more clear-cut than in this Good Wife example! I have REALLY enjoyed all your insights. And, it appears we have very similar movie tastes! (....I'd have to go with the puppy scene, but I really do love the ripping of the film off the window to see the sunrise. And the chill of seeing the children spot and point out people whose microemotions betray them. Or the scene with the music. I could go on, I absolutely love that movie, and it is so vivid and sharp in my mind, despite my only seeing it twice.)<br /><br />Random movie recommendation (that I'd be interested to hear your costuming-based insights about) that is both apocalyptic and Christian Bale: Reign of Fire. All humans on earth are living underground and in hiding, from dragons that came out of nowhere and took over the earth (by feeding on humans and breeding inexplicably fast, faster than humans could successfully resist against). Lots of ashes, fire, coal, underground caves... Naturally, the movie's colour palette is pretty depressing, all charcoal and greys and black. I don't remember the costumes specifically, so maybe that means the costuming was more or less successful. (Except for Matthew McConaughey's, he has never looked more strange before or since! From what I remember, though, it was definitely true to his character.) <br /><br />Thank you for all your posts, these are all bookmarked and recced, and I will be keeping my eye out for more!Esthernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084418948126858292.post-8320127037265070812011-12-07T10:45:24.197-08:002011-12-07T10:45:24.197-08:00Probably the puppy scene--no, no, definitely the p...Probably the puppy scene--no, no, definitely the puppy scene,Battlestarbeanhttp://geektasticvoyage.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084418948126858292.post-82557399614577610152011-12-07T04:48:01.735-08:002011-12-07T04:48:01.735-08:00Just because I love shameless acts of self-promoti...Just because I love shameless acts of self-promotion, here's my review of the latest episode: http://theoncominghope.blogspot.com/2011/12/good-wife-in-review-made-easy.htmltheoncominghopenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084418948126858292.post-89154905113599868762011-12-07T04:12:17.203-08:002011-12-07T04:12:17.203-08:00sometimes, TGW is the "alan cumming's hai...sometimes, TGW is the "alan cumming's haircut show" for me. <--- probably a problem. ://hellotailornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084418948126858292.post-17842979178444073802011-12-07T02:09:47.643-08:002011-12-07T02:09:47.643-08:00Oh, now this is awesome.

Everything about TGW is just so sleek and subtle, I love it <3 It's honestly the only show I actually notice the costuming and set design in (although, that is probably because I spent an inordinate amount of time going through the DVD extras). I just love how the characters are embodied w/r/t their makeup, clothing, etc. <br /><br /><br />also, alan cumming's haircut is definitely perfect.mr. eameshttp://twitter.com/phenylicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084418948126858292.post-81515525367596063242011-12-06T15:51:40.825-08:002011-12-06T15:51:40.825-08:00diane is beautiful and has the most amazing laugh

I LOVE DIANE. i think she might be my favourite character, but only if i remove my alan cumming-tinted specs. I ADORE ELI GOLD. and his barely-suppressed rage outbursts. and his hair. and his extremely fitted slimline suits. but anyway, diane is beautiful and has the most amazing laugh. <br /><br />idk, i had a few fairly professorish professors. not all of them, but a lot. but i guess i did do a fairly old-fashioned humanities degree, in england.hellotailornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084418948126858292.post-46002583085395522362011-12-06T15:24:00.396-08:002011-12-06T15:24:00.396-08:00The puppy scene is like 100% what makes Equilibriu...The puppy scene is like 100% what makes Equilibrium for me: http://theoncominghope.blogspot.com/2010/12/movies-bad-enough-to-be-good.htmltheoncominghopenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1084418948126858292.post-78413506536639554632011-12-06T15:21:27.382-08:002011-12-06T15:21:27.382-08:00Jennifer Carpenter looks as much like an English p...<i>Jennifer Carpenter looks as much like an English professor as you can make someone who is both smoking hot and best known for playing a foul-mouthed ex-Vice-cop</i><br /><br />Lol, stereotypes. In my entire academic career I have only had one English professor who dressed somewhat like this and she was a at least 50.<br /><br />I'm amazed that you've put together a post about <i>The Good Wife</i>'s costumes without mentioning Kalinda's boots and leather jackets - normally all that anyone can talk about! But, yes, I think that overall the show's costuming is good and realistic. Diane is generally the most interesting, I feel. She gets to wear a lot of mixed separates and statement jewellery. They also do some subtle differentiation between Peter and Will that is nicely handled.Ben Sevenhttp://bennet-7.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.com
