Period vs. Modern: Compare/Contrast

[dharmavati.livejournal.com]

What I like to do is see how someone might manage two very different roles, especially if one of those roles is for a character in a period piece. So, this picspam is going to contrast the period and modern roles of 20 actors/actresses from various countries. Although the costumes and hair immediately come to mind, I also tried to look at other aspects, such as cultural norms and body language, that might have required the actor/actress to approach the roles differently. Hope you enjoy!

OMG. It's a historical/modern film comparison. \o/

I LOVE THIS PICSPAM ♥

Sherlock Holmes! Time-Traveller's Wife! Gotta love Rachel McAdams. In Bruges! Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind! Zoe Saldana in the two roles that made me love her before anyone knew her name or that she would be a blue cat person!

Awesome job, this is definitely going to my memories :D

This was a wonderful picspam. I loved how you included examples from all over the world (as I'm a huge fan of Asian dramas).
