airedelalmena: madmensideblog:Costume designer Janie Bryant on Ginsberg“He’s a total eccentric. To illustrate that point, I wanted everything he wore to feel very mid and matched. The clothes [referring to the outfit pictured in the first gif] are all ill-fitting, wrinkled, and disheveled. I intentionally made the sleeves on his jacket too short. He’s the kind of guy who would wear hand-me-downs and shop at Salvation Army. His shirt was from the early 1950s. The madras plaid jacket was also from earlier. And the tie was from the mid-60s when ties started to become wider… He has probably never put on a shirt, tie, and jacket in his whole life. When he pulls together this random outfit, he really is trying to appear professional.” The heavy poser vibes…this actor would never understand any actual eccentric or beat poet IRL enough to play them convincingly lol. Uptight stuffiness with every move he makes. Just reading that description of how painstakingly hard they had to try to create the image, and knowing they still failed! oof. sorry if i’m misunderstanding you but he’s not playing allen ginsberg the character’s name is michael ginsberg he’s just some guy. if that’s not what you were getting at then power to you, have fun etc -- source link
