Heroines Are Always Stunning Beauties
While it is unfortunate, it is true that attractiveness appears to be a prerequisite if you are an actress looking for a big break. Characters who do not need to be attractive are then played by beautiful actors in film adaptations. The squad also overlooks or alters their physical faults. In the book, Hester Shaw from Mortal Engines was written with a facial scar and just one eye. In the film, she has two eyes and a scar that does not take away from her attractiveness. That becomes considerably more troublesome when done in biopics. Joan Clarke plays the mathematician in The Imitation Game. The individual on whom she was based was not particularly attractive. In fact, a coworker remarked that she resembled “the back end of a bus.” It doesn’t feel right that she was played by Keira Knightley.
