petrushka.googol Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 The uncommon use of the word "diaspora" refers to the rather uncanny social intelligence of cinema actors. They pout, squirm, wretch at a moment's notice. Not too easy for the common folk. Why is this ? Is it innate or acquired. Please opine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 OK, for a start, it's a misuse of the word diaspora. Also, have you seen children playing games? They too, "pout, squirm, wretch at a moment's notice." So it's hard to believe it's all that difficult. However, the existence of stage schools suggests that at least some of their ability is learned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My own personal viewpoint is that actors move seamlessly from one emotion to the next, at least, to my own honest assessment better than I do. I experience a "refractory period" after an intense emotional episode (much like after an orgasm). Actors however seem to be less constrained. Perhaps more research needs to be done in this area....

John Cuthber Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 What would be the point? An actor has to look real. If his expressions changed faster than the rest of us they wouldn't look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
