Tonto's makeup is based on this painting.
Depp says: “I’d actually seen a painting by an artist named Kirby Sattler, and looked at the face of this warrior and thought: That’s it,” Depp told EW.
And so, the 21st century Tonto was born, even down to the headdress, which to Depp was of paramount importance.
“I thought: Tonto’s got a bird on his head," he said. "It’s his spirit guide in a way. It’s dead to others, but it’s not dead to him. It’s very much alive.”
Isn't Finnick supposed to be unreasonably pretty?
What about Anton Yelchin, then?
I am not sure I would want to be a costume designer and work with Johnny Depp.
WTFF, JOHNNY DEPP?!
My two (rumored) Pawnee ancestors want me to take that bird off your head and punch you a couple of times in exasperation. Dude, I thought you were a little smarter than that.
YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER. Good grief.
Not enough WTF in the world for that picture.
So he's based his wardrobe and makeup for a period piece on the works of a modern non-Native American painter who deals in symbolic rather than historically accurate imagery (and from what I can tell, may very well be the Thomas Kinkade of Indian portraiture)?
LOL.
Matt, you totally said what I was thinking, but a helluva lot more eloquently. That seemed straight up symbolical and shit (I'm social sciences, so my artistic self is underdeveloped), but I think even *I* could tell that was symbolism.
I HAZ SIMBELS!
I hope the back flap from this will convince him to make better choices.
Everybody seen the new Prometheus video about David 8, Michael Fassbender's android character for the movie? [link]
Interesting marketing campaign! It's both hilarious AND creepy.
On an unrelated news, I quite liked this indepth retrospective of Zac Efron's career (!) to date by Linda Holmes at NPR: [link]
