WHY DONT WE GET THESE TYPES OF EXPRESSIONS FROM NOWADAYS ACTORS ?

LOOK AT THIS IT LOOKS SO NATURAL !

Got this picture of ShahRukh Khan with Shkehar Kapur and Divya Bharti from some event. Anyone knows what occasion is this?

I’ve watched several films and shows where actors had to portray autistic or intellectually disabled characters, and some performances stayed with me for years.
Park Eun-bin as Woo Young-woo, Freddie Highmore as Dr Shaun Murphy, Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump, and Dustin Hoffman as Raymond Babbitt in Rain Man are some of the most memorable examples. These characters connected deeply with audiences because the actors didn’t merely imitate certain mannerisms,
they gave them dignity, personality, emotion, and individuality.
From India, I genuinely think Shah Rukh Khan did a splendid job as Rizwan Khan in My Name Is Khan. His performance deserves to be mentioned alongside the others. Playing such a character without turning it into caricature is extremely difficult, and SRK completely made the role his own.

Recently, I watched an Indian show that seemed heavily inspired by Extraordinary Attorney Woo. The lead actress appeared to be copying Park Eun-bin’s expressions and mannerisms rather than creating her own interpretation, and the difference was immediately visible. It made me realise how much a great actor can elevate a role, and how badly it can fail when the performance feels like imitation.
These are some of my favourite characters because they made a real impact on the audience.
