I love this movie and show it to students. But right near the climax of the story, we have to deal with the worst wig in cinema history. Kids laughing and pointing. It's sad. You could have stuck the cat from Shrek 2 on Victors head and it would have looked better.

Chris Eyre maxed out his credit cards making Smoke Signals. The film wasn't filmed in sequence and therefore they couldn't really cut Viktor's hair. So when it came to buying a wig the one you see in the movie is the only one that Chris Eyre could afford. I am told that now when ever he watches the movie he cringes in disgust when he sees Victor in that wig.

amen, brother! And believe me, i know; i'm planning to go into the movie business, and in some of the film programs i've taken, we've had WAY worse material to work with than that wig!
plus, littlebunny04 is right; the individual scenes in movies are hardly every filmed in chronological order. usually when i make one, i do all the outside scenes one week, then all the indoor scenes the next, or something to that effect. usually it's done by location. for example, in Smoke Signals, they probably had all the young and older actors come in the same day/week, and filmed all the scenes on the bridge.
it's just easier since there's a lot of stuff to move when you're filming.
but i have to admit, that wig does make me laugh. :D

I was crying at the sadness i saw in Adam beaches charactor but i was laughing at the wig i saw on Adam beaches charactor this movie was touching but i had felt bad that i took time to burst in to laughter over a silly wig when the movie was at a serious point i thought i was the only one who had the goofy giggles during this sceen glad someone brought it up lol i guess you do have to use what you got though, aint it. lol
shareWith that wig on, he looked exactly my auntie Elaine back in her 2001-hairdo. No offense to my auntie though!

Yeah the wig definitely looked horrible and very very fake. Of course, this just added to the whole strange feel this movie had and made it seem even less credible. It's like, did they even try to look for a wig that would look semi decent and not like the just ripped it off the head of some go-go dancer in a cheap club?.. or Britney Spears' head?!? haha
shareDoesn't it just accentuate how odd he looks without his beautiful hair? It could be seen as symbolic.
