Once you consider makeup and lighting and camera effects. What's on the screen is fantasy. Regardless of how it got there.

Re: The same goes for live actors

Live ones have different feeling. I can hear an ews about him/her that does not fit the screenplay. Looking at that computer-generated face is like reading a long and well-written sequel stopped in a middle of third book. "Well, this girl plays in that great movie, and then?"

Also dead actors

can be brought back via the computer. They could cast a digital version of John Wayne, or Elvis, or Marilyn Monroe for a computer animated movie. Or if they got it complex enough, place the face over a body-double.

Hollywood is just smoke and mirrors and makeup and special effects. None of it is real. Not even the live action flicks.

Some say that it's not only movies..

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players:
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts ...

(Of course, always there are those who imagine a play to be - what they call 'real'. No accounting for taste, I guess)

Digital, analogue: it's all in your mind!

who isn't real either.

I guess it's all a matter of degree...

Immortal actors: the only real alternative to computer-generated ones.

"Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid"

[link|http://us.imdb.com/Title?0083798|Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid] done without computers

This celebration of the black and white movies of the 1940's and 50's is a very clever and very amusing film. Extracts from celluloid classics are skilfully spliced into the action

One of my favs

I really like Steve Martin films, that was one of his best. They did splice in scenes from older movies, and made it very funny.
