Whats with the Vigourous toothbrushing?!

I'll never forget the awful super vigourous brushing of the teeth in Big Little Lies-Nicole Kidman brushing and brushing while pacing and all the while her mouth is closed and just keeps on brushing back and forth as fast as she can. I thought who brushes their teeth like that?!!

 

Then watching the Undoing she is doing it again all the while walking back and forth, pulling out outfits and attacking her teeth-its really loud too.

 

Both of these were directed by David E Kelley. He must think it creates a "normalcy" to upcoming suspense and crime. Its like a trademark direction of his.

 

Ok yeah, I know I have no life to notice things like this or post about them but it is so annoying

And yeah I have a lot more to be annoyed about than this but its the little things you know that you really can notice and think this is so bizarre.

 

Ok, that's about it!😁

it is acting.  An effort to display confusion or deep in thought.

 

If you have toothpaste on your brush it foams and drips. You can't walk around doing other things IRL

@on the bay  It's funny, but I noticed that too, just within the past couple of weeks or so.  I don't remember what I was watching, though.  I just remember thinking how in scenes where an character is brushing his/her teeth, it's such HARD brushing.  

 

I can't remember if it was always like that, or what.

 

Very weird, but you're not alone in noticing it.

The one I can't get over is One Fine Day. Michelle Pfeiffer is having a first date with George Clooney. We see her in the bathroom getting ready. She's brushing her TONGUE like there's no tomorrow. I really didn't want to see her tongue or her brushing it.

Re: Whats with the Vigourous toothbrushing?!

I tend to agree with all of that, @on the bay , but even more, many of these characters could easily afford electric toothbrushes but you never see those in film. I find that unrealistic, which then moves on to being annoying.

I can't imagine sound is the issue, since a good one isn't noisy.
