He looked so happy when he first saw his teeth, if that doesn’t warm your heart then you’re a monster
See, I thought he looked pretty unsure if he liked em or not. Like a bad tattoo (not that he cares about that) that you are trying to talk yourself into liking, or on a smaller scale, ordering shoes online and the color is off, so you keep on looking at them.
Russian director Sergei Eisenstein (author of two very influential books on film making), did an experiment where he used the same reaction shot, edited into different sequences. Depending on whether the same neutral close up of the actor Mosjukhin was joined with shots of a plate of soup, a shot of a dead woman in a coffin, or a child playing, the audience interpreted them as completely different reactions - him expressing hunger, feeling sorrow, or joy.
Maybe there's a layer of interpretation to Andy's reaction that isn't so obvious - Or maybe he's the greatest actor in the world.
My response and thought somewhat comes from only having 4 teeth in the top of my mouth, and the experience of getting new partials, and having to get used to the way they look, or complain and spend more money on another set. Not a fun feeling.
Though in the photo ops right after, he had no issue giving huge smiles, so there is that. As a candidate for implants, not sure I want that giant of a smile, definitely don't want them that blinding white either.
I ain't know.
