I thought they were all 40 year old guys......

boomers aged more elegantly desu
i'd rather look older at and early stage of life then to suddenly age in the span of a few years which is happening to heaps of millennials now
Back then men didnt care what they look like
they didn't look older, per se, but more "masculine" and less neotenic at an earlier age.
Many Millennials and most Zoomers will never ever look that masculine, just like old, fat, babies.
This. They reached their final form faster and stayed there much longer.
There's also insane levels of delusion, such as in pic related where he looks about 40 (to me) but he's actually 37 and he thinks he looks college age. Others around his age are actually backing him up saying we're the generation that don't age. I'm also almost 40 btw so I have no dog in the fight. While I sympathize with people feeling sad about ageing this is just ridiculous and I feel embarrassed for my generation.
remake of this film as a TV series is already on the way btw
he looks about 40 (to me)
because most of your generation never grew up.
He looks about 17 by early 1900s standards
Lawrence of Arabia
is this movie where main character got raped by turks and this somehow inspired Dune and Star Wars?
I really do have a hard time understanding this larp.
funny how a seemingly insignificant event in history that probably only lasted like 15 mins because of a few horny turks caused a ripple/butterfly effect that birthed the sci-fi space opera genre as we know it today.
I would watch a remake without irony. I'm not kidding, but I'm just curious how this story can be interpreted in the new political context that exists now. Never mind the sudden large number of strong female characters , CGI desert or gay shit, what would happen to the politics of the Middle East in the context of the First World War through the modern view of the screenwriters?
what larp? are you mentally deficient?
Look at pictures of 18yos from the early 900s and they look like your gen's 40yos, but more masculine
They look exactly the same as current 18 year olds apart from how some of them were a little malnourished.
The screenwriter would lose their mind when they realize they can't make him turn into a 'bad guy' because that actually happens in the original movie so they have nothing to contribute lol
Nope. They really don't. Not even the guy you're talking about
we'll make him ga- OH SHIT
I suppose they could always gender swap him.
Ipso facto
Brits are BAD BAD BAD
Arabs are GOOD GOOD GOOD
Turks and Arabs are basically the same because all brown people look alike
also, faggotry is the best
Does this sound like a movie you want to watch?
Does this sound like a movie you want to watch?
Yes, provided Pedro Pascal is the lead.
Goy slop was introduced in the 80s 90s
subtle demoralization thread
sykes-picot agreement have no effect in modern day middle-east bro
why would you wear all black in the desert
to contrast with lawrence and make him visually distinctive against the desert
They lived through WW2, rationing, theater work that was more physically demanding
The thing is a lot of these retards that “look young for their age” only do so because they still dress like children. In the past men past the age of 21 would dress like adults, now 40 year old men dress in graphic t-shirts, Vans sneakers, baseball cap with some gay logo, and some kind of skinny jeans or sweatpants. And the oldest zoomers are not much different, they are like 30 years old and still dress like retards trying to impress their TikTok friends.
Yeah it’s not really a millennial thing, it’s a general trend that will probably last a few generations. Millennials are not even the first infantilized generation, that would be gen X but literally no one gives a shit about them. Doesn’t help that social media makes older people try to compete with teenagers.
wear expensive clothes for no reason because...
The non-shitpost answer is Hollywood casting back then was different. Modern Hollywood is looking for actors that look like kids. If they wanted they could cast men like that more, like Jon Hamm.
So much of it is this We've also just been spreading this rhetoric about the 'wall', and these ideas of being phased out of the sexy pool by thirty. So when people hit twenty-five, and then thirty... and then thirty-five, and they haven't really noticed any big changes, still feel young, still get hit on by college aged kids, they think they're special and not aging like their parents did. Most people get to their mid-late twenties and then don't look that much different until around forty.
The science says it's around twenty-six and forty, too.
I'm 35 and have never accomplished anything in my life
Uh in the past, the kids wore suits to lol. Its strange how we went from dress shirts and trousers to tshirts and jeans in just one decade
Are you insinuating that keeping up with trends and buying tawdry brand names isn't retardedly expensive? It is absolutely more expensive in the long run.
You get older and you invest in high quality materials and a good fit with a classic style, have the same shirt in excellent quality for decades.
Self expression and the need to broadcast that you're "in the know" by engaging in trends is a game for youngins in the dating pool, you don't waste so time on that kind of shit when you get older.
what clothes should they be wearing?
shit that will last and is not made with a bunch of synthetics
Men lived harsher lives back then plus high test.
Millennials have that feminine chubby baby face.
Peter o'toole was 30 and an alcoholic though.
time flowed more slowly back then
