This is interesting...when my partner and i watch films portraying an older, historic period, we use the term "timeless" or "classic-looking" to refer to some actors who mostly due to their appearance (and maybe a little makeup) can look like they belong in so many different periods. And, then there are other actors, who clearly don't seem like they would fit in periods outside of our own modern day...and this has nothing to do with whether any of the actors look attractive or not...its just a thing that some people have about their appearance (or not).

- mxuribe 1y agoInteresting! Both my partner and i felt that Leonardo DiCaprio (while we consider him a pretty good actor in general) didn't quite fit that "timeless" label for the Gatsby role....while we felt that both Carey Mulligan and Tobey Maguire did indeed feel right at home in such roles...at least to our eyes. Also, while we do love the original film with Robert Redford, we did also really like the modern (and quite different!) take of the Gatsby film created by Baz Lurhman. :-)
