I actually thought it was very obvious he killed himself. It wasn't open ended at all for me. After the sister turns him down, that was the last straw. His father beat him, his best friend did something really mean, and finally the woman he loves turns him down. He definitely killed himself
Imagine thinking Marissa Tomei isn't pretty 😂😂😂. Okay little boy.
Lmfao seriously? How about Marisa Tomei? Sandra Bullock? Halle Berry? Jennifer Aniston? Julia Roberts? Ever hear of them? I'd consider Connelly to be more attractive than them, but they're all still very attractive and could do love scenes with Tom Cruise
5. The writers have said they'd love to have Julie in the show. They're aware of the movie. I think the only reason anyone wants her is because it's Hillary Swank. If the actress ended up being nobody, I dont think anyone would care.
7. She doesn't look disenheartened. She looks angry. She's disgusted Silver lost. She isn't meekly going home. She'll be one of the main villains in season 6.
You've shared nothing that is a fact. You're saying it is a fact that if an actor is even one year off from the age of the character they play, then they are not age appropriate. Please show where that is considered a definitive fact. Something other than a Wikipedia article especially please.
As for my explanation? She's playing a character that is 3 years older than herself. I consider a 3 year difference to be age appropriate. If an 18 year old is playing a 16 year old, I also consider that age appropriate. Clearly, so do others such as the OP. You disagree, which is fine. But you've offered nothing to suggest what you're saying is a definitive, proven fact unfortunately.
I say most people feel that way because most reviews and responses have said she is age appropriate.
Where is it said that your way of thinking is the correct way? Please tell me. Because when I Google "age appropriate" it says "suitable for a particular age OR age group". Do you have a different definition?
Of course it matters how they feel. You really think this a fact either way? Sorry dude, but its not. You view age appropriate as the actor and character are the exact same age. Fine. Most people think it means they're close to the same age. Feel free to think your way, but your way is certainly not a fact or the correct answer. It's just how you personally feel and define age appropriate as.
Okay well I guess most people feel differently on what age appropriate than you do. Most people think an actress being 3 years younger than what her character is supposed to be is age appropriate. It's absurdly rare for an actor to be the exact age their character is supposed to be, so in your logic I guess 99% of actors aren't age appropriate?
It has to do with what you said because you're focusing on how old Connelly was when the original movie came out. Thats meaningless. Her character clearly was not 15 in Top Gun. Since we can safely say Maverick wasn't sleeping with a 15 year old, Penny is supposed to be at least 54 now. Connelly is 51. Thats age appropriate. Shes a 51 year old playing a 54 year old. It works perfectly. What would make her not age appropriate is if she was clearly too young to play a 54 year old. If she was 40, that would be ridiculous.
9 years also isn't a big age gap. A lot of movies have the male actor be a lot older than the female actress playing his love interest. Like Mark Ruffalo and Scarlett Johanson. People find it refreshing that this movie cast a woman over 50, within a reasonable age gap of Tom Cruise, to play his love interest.
You'll see actors playing parent and child that are only a couple of years apart. You'll see actors playing siblings and the younger actor is playing the older sibling. Clearly, Penny the character is supposed to be a few years older than Jennifer is in real life.
And she is age appropriate. It would have been distracting as hell if Maverick's new love interest was playing by like Scarlet Johansson. Jennifer is 9 years younger than Cruise. Thats age appropriate.
As for not looking so great, you're probably the only person who thinks that way about her. Pretty much everyone else says she looks great.
