The "I LOVE everything Lureen" thread

(1/4) > >>

serious crayons:
Lureen is highly underrated.

I love the bold way Lureen goes right after what she wants -- not unlike Jack in that respect.

Lumière:
I love Lureen's confidence and zest for life when she meets Jack!

memento:
I loved the little smirk on Lureen's face after Jack layed into her father. Priceless.

serious crayons:
I love the way Lureen's emotional evolution is reflected in her physical appearance -- specifically her hair, teeth, nails, clothing.

Nobody else in the movie does that (Ennis stays as hot as ever only older, Jack changes physically but not in emotionally significant ways, Alma hardly changes at all). But in real life, people sometimes DO show on the outside what's going on inside. Good for Lureen!

You're right, Barb. I was referring to Lureen's hair color, teeth, etc. Ennis' and Jack's emotional changes are reflected physically, too, absolutely. But they're more as a result of acting than anything provided by makeup or wardrobe. I should have clarified.
