Like, the guys are always muscily and burly, and the girls are all way too advanced. Ive never seen high schoolers look like that!
Like, in american pie...... theyre MEN, not 17yr old boys!
I think the only move i can think of where the teenages kinda vaguely resembled teenagers is Mean Girls.
American, is it REALLY like this ? Is there something in american waters??
I want to see a movie where 16yr olds LOOK like 16yr olds :P
xWhy are high schoolers in American High School Movies always ?finding a teenage male who doesn't have pimples and a cracking voice has to be pretty hard.Why are high schoolers in American High School Movies always ?
Yes, it's always like this because the simple fact is TEENAGERS CAN'T ACT. Almost every time they try, with very few exceptions like Ellen Page, critics get all angry and visceral and audiences fall out of the movie.
See, teenage actors are at that critical point where they're too old to have literally everything they act out appear authentically childlike, and too young to have any real acting experience. So they're trying to act, they just don't know how. That's why we need 20-year-olds in their place.Why are high schoolers in American High School Movies always ?Basically my response to this is, sex sells. The "kids" in our movies are older because they are, like you said, more muscley and developed. They are more attractive to a wider audience and therefore, have the power to make the movie more popular.
Teenagers obviously do not look like that. But after seeing these movies they feel like they should which causes all kinds of problems.
Because most of the "teens" in movies are actually at least 16 to 18+ in real life. There are very strict guidelines for how many hours a child actor can work, so it is often cheaper and easier for the studios to hire older actors that the guidelines do not apply to. Most high-schoolers look nothing like what you see in the movies, in either age nor physical attractiveness.Why are high schoolers in American High School Movies always ?Actors and Actresses usually are cast for younger rolls So a 20 year older may end up playing a 17 year old in 12th grade. Were a 17 year older can play a 14 or 15 year old freshman. At least that's what I heard. Also, there are the some high schoolers in real life that look like they should be graduating college but not every one is like that Why are high schoolers in American High School Movies always ?
It is not because we are Americans. They just use adult actors because they are more mature and reliable, the same reasons you would rather employ an adult rather than a teenager in anything else.
Here are some American movies were I think the teenager look like teenagers:
JUNO http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuN0Z65sp鈥?/a>
NAPOLEON DYNAMITE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5YwUh4Lgi鈥?/a>
SPEAK http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSCzahFXM鈥?/a>
SIXTEEN CANDLES http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9M5zFSiU鈥?/a>
American movies just create these characters that look much older because it creates a role Model for which many idiots look up to. plus these characters are more believable when it comes to things like sex and life. its a way for movie makers to make more money. not many high schoolers really look like that.Why are high schoolers in American High School Movies always ?
They just get older actors to play high schoolers
I know what you mean
Some kids in my high school looked old,but most of them didn't look the people you see on tv or in the movies
The people on Gossip Girl and One Tree Hill,which are horrible shows,are not realistic
Wow i didnt notice until you pointed it out but that is so true. It must be a american thing i swear becuase you see girls on like tv shows like dr phil and the r supposed to be 14 and they look 17 its weird. I look at my sister who is 14 and im like she looks 14 not 17. whats up with that.
lol at american pie.
Ha ha good question!! Remember the movie Clueless? The girl who played Dion was like 30 at the time they filmed the movie!! The 'reasoning' is that older people are more experienced, so they would know how to play the characters and roles better because they have most likely been thru it before.
Ok the thing, most of those actors are probaly are not actaully teenagers but much older. It's hard to find teenagers with acting skills , and not to mention gettung they are busy with school I guess. And thats why its calling acting. Americans are not really like that at all, trust me!
Well, it's because it's not that easy to find 16 year olds who are really that good with acting. That's the best they can do with makeup and clothing, but it's impossible to shrink a person! :)
Have you ever watched Jerry Springer, or similar? They always have a girl who's just moved out of her fianc茅's house because she's pregnant for the 3rd time, and then it turns out that she's about 12!
The movie "Footloose" (1984) starring Kevin Bacon gave us teenagers who looked and acted like teenagers. I'm sure many of the actors were older but they looked very young and the storyline rang true.
america isn't relay like that, but there are a few people who look like that. the fact is that they use 20 and 30 year old actors that just look younger because its essayer.
Producers want their audience to relate to the characters. If they don't relate to them then they will have no reason to watch their movie.
Yeah they use older actors because a lot of the stuff they are doing would raise eyebrows and then teens have to go to school and stuff.
I never noticed a difference, when people are 13 they begin to sexually mature, 4 years after that I am not surprised if they look like adults.
omg i know right
i mean some high schoolers look like that but not all
they should cast 16 year olds for parts like that not 25 year olds
They're more talented than actual teenagers. In "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", a 29 year old played a 17 year old, and the other actors he was acting with were about18.
no its not like that at all. its just hollywood for ya. they're also not dressed like 25 year olds and dont sit and chill on the yard around school either.
I know in Mean Girls that they used adult actors. Regina and Karen I both know were way beyond high school when they made the movie.
They probably do this for other high school movies too.
cuz teenagers suck at acting..
haha
no um
maybe its because it more appealing whent they have older people playing the parts
idk Ashley Tisdale in HSM was 22 but the rest of them were like 17-19 except Monique Coleman.
Don't forget the original 90210. Dylan was middle-aged, yet he played a high schooler. He even had a receding hairline.
None of the seniors in my high school ever looked like that either, and I sure didn't at that time myself!
here is los angeles middle schoolers look freaking 16 and highschoolers look like college students...its wierd.
Maybe they couldn't find someone young for the part....but I live in America and they aren't all that big. Its just in movies.
In my high school some people look like that.
because young actors are rubbish
generally
they pick older actors who are'nt really teenagers!
