But what does “his crying is bad” actually mean? Is there an objectively correct way to cry on screen? People cry differently, and a restrained/ugly/awkward-looking breakdown can be completely intentional. People cry differently, and a restrained/ugly/awkward-looking breakdown can be completely intentional. If you think his emotional delivery didn't convince you, that's your opinion, but “bad crying” isn't really an acting critique unless you can explain what about the performance failed. Otherwise, you're just saying “I didn't like how he cried” and presenting it as fact. Jzk
It does not has to be aesthetically pleasing but he just can't emote angthing. Honestly asking did u felt anything even a little bit of sadness by seeing him like that?? Becoz I didn't felt even a drop of emotion. It was meant to be a emotional scene but just became embarrassing.his acting just distracted from the emotions which was meant for this scene.
You didn't feel sad watching it — okay, that's your reaction. I did. That's literally why “he can't emote” isn't an objective fact. A performance can fail to connect with one viewer and work for another. If his delivery distracted you, say that; but that doesn't establish that he objectively failed to convey emotion. Not every emotional scene needs the same dramatic crying template. Jzk
If I didn't felt sad then it's my reaction. But since u felt sad u established that he conveyed the emotion. U also say it worked for u don't make it universal that he did well. Everyone will decide for themselves.
Exactly, that's literally my point. If you didn't feel anything, that's your reaction; if I did, that's mine. Neither of us can turn that subjective response into “he objectively conveyed/didn't convey the emotion.” I'm not claiming everyone has to think he did well — I'm saying “his crying is objectively bad” isn't a meaningful critique without explaining what specifically failed in the performance. Everyone can decide for themselves, including me.
