Films

Movies and TV series often hide subtle details. Sometimes they help you guess a plot twist, make sense of what’s happening on screen, or make connections to other films or to the real world. Here are a few of these kinds of details that many viewers may not have noticed.

Many famous stars became successful only when they were adults. And some of them started their careers such a long time ago that many people today can’t even imagine what they looked like when they were young.

It’s a common belief that children more often resemble their fathers than their mothers, allegedly that’s how genetics work. But studies don’t support this hypothesis, though scientists see the practical sense in it. Men sometimes doubt their paternity, and similarity in appearance helps to convince them that the child is really theirs. Whichever is the case, some of the stars’ offspring, despite their young age, are already showing distinctly similar features to their moms and dads.

People often have very opposite opinions about actors in book adaptations. Some don’t like it when the movie character looks different from the book description, and others, thanks to talented actors and actresses decide to read the book. Today, almost all popular novels have 2 or more movie adaptations, so we can compare several “versions” of the same character.

Wednesday is incredibly popular, and it’s setting viewership records. But for attentive viewers, it’s hard not to compare this series to another popular franchise — the Harry Potter movies. We have found a lot of similarities between them, but we believe they only make the series better.

When watching a long TV show, we tend to feel our favorite characters as if they were our closest friends. This is especially true if we watch our favorite shows a few times. So, it’s really interesting to have a look at what the actors who played these characters look like now.

The success of the Fast & Furious saga made Vin Diesel one of the top stars at the box office worldwide. His character, the legendary racer, has a special attitude to his loved ones. All of them are his family, and he values family more than anything. Maybe, Diesel is so convincing in this role because he knows from his own experience that you don’t need to have blood ties to be really close, and his stepfather taught him that.

We can often see how co-stars become friends while shooting their iconic films or TV shows. As it turns out, they have a lot of time to get to know each other because, on average, it usually takes 1-2 years to film a movie. And TV shows can last for up to 10 years, if not more. But, luckily, they have a chance to reunite on the red carpet, for a new project, or while filming a sequel. And seeing them together for the first or even the thousandth time can still overwhelm us with nostalgic feelings.

Actors’ earnings depend on many factors — how popular they are, how vital they are for a film, how much screen time they get, and the budget of the project. So, for doing just two Matrix movies, Keanu Reeves earned a crazy amount of $156,000,000. Even though such an amount even for A-list actors is almost impossible, many of them have added very good amounts to their fortunes, and we decided to make a list of them.

Christmas is often associated with a cozy home, the Christmas tree, gifts from our close people, and watching movies during the holidays. You probably love the films Home Alone, Love Actually, The Holiday, It’s a Wonderful Life, and many others. In this article, we compiled unexpected facts about these movies to give you a new perspective on them.

Many actors are afraid to be associated with just one character. But even a great movie script and ingenious makeup are helpless if an actor or actress doesn’t have enough talent and charisma to portray different characters on screen.

When we watch movies, we don’t always know that in some scenes, the actors aren’t even acting but actually showing their true emotions. Sometimes directors make them feel certain emotions, and other times, things don’t go according to plan.

There’s an unspoken 3-month rule that says that the price of an engagement ring should equal the 3-month salary of the person that makes the proposal. So, for stars, it might be a 7-figure number. Some engagement rings of our idols cost as much as a Ferrari or a house, and they have a luxurious design.

Signing autographs, endless photoshoots, and receiving long-awaited awards are not what the ordinary life of an actor or actress consists of. Their reality is much more prosaic: actors adhere to strict diets or gain weight, learn new skills (that can be fun, or not), and oftentimes work in conditions that are far from comfortable.

In movies from the ’60s, the trend was to use pasta, mainly spaghetti, for scenes that included some type of lunch or dinner because it was easy to make and stayed in good condition on the plate for quite some time. But like other things, movie food has also evolved in recent years, creating a whole gastronomic underworld around it, which, in addition to chefs, also includes specialized photographers and culinary stylists.

The world of cinema, in its infancy, was not very favorable to women — they were paid less and often served only as a pretty face for the film. The situation has somewhat changed over the years, but it’s still mostly men who work as directors, screenwriters, and producers. Recently, in response to the changes taking place in society, strong female characters have started to appear on the screen. But sometimes, all they do is irritate viewers, as well as critics, and actresses are beginning to reject these roles.

The life of luxury that some actors lead has surely made us think that everything has been easy for them. But from time to time, they share stories that show they also have their bittersweet moments, especially in the beginnings of their careers. Of course, they came out of all those moments with their heads held high.

Released in November 2022, Wednesday has become a real record-breaker on Netflix. In its first week alone, it racked up 341.2 million hours of viewing, surpassing even the ultra-popular Stranger Things. We dared to take a risk at speculating as to why the viewers are literally glued to their screens following the adventures of the gloomy girl and other teens from Nevermore Academy. A word of warning: this article contains spoilers.

Many modern actors, whom we are used to seeing at a mature age, are no less charismatic and attractive than young actors. After all, they are full of energy, their smiles are charming, their bodies are fit, and their clothes are elegant. However, few people remember what these famous actors looked like when they were young. And they used to be really attractive.

While the role models for young people today are bloggers, influencers, and TikTok stars, a couple of decades ago, actors and actresses were the icons. Some of them don’t seem to have changed much since then, and others are even hard to recognize.
