www.esquire.com/entertainment: ustice League was a bad movie. In fact, Justice League was such a bad movie that it also somehow managed to ruin Henry Cavill's extremely handsome face. The story of his infamous mustache has been one of the most hilarious Hollywood fuck-ups of the year.

I think that this story is a perfect example of the detail that needs to be put into every shot and idea for both film and theater. Of course, if Superman were a play, you wouldn’t need to have a camera close up on an actor and therefore covering up the mustache for Superman or using a fake mustache for Mission Impossible might’ve passed. On the other hand, in the theater there is no CGI to cover stuff up in post, so that offers its own complications. But then again, there is no reshoot for a play, so this issue probably wouldn’t even come up. On a different note, I find it interesting that a small detail like this is able to take audiences out of movies and cause an internet storm. It’s literally just a matter of a mustache, a tiny detail in the huge production that is a DC movie. It also proves that there are limits to CGI even today. On one hand, I feel bad that this caused DC so many issues when they had so many other things that they had to think about and solve. But on the other hand, I think it’s a good lesson for both viewers and producers today, there is a limit to technology, and sometimes we just have to accept that.
I think this story shows what goes on behind the scenes that nobody ever even remotely considers when they watch movies and tv shows that share stars. Each show is a new role with new mannerisms and new attitudes and new clothing and facial hair. Actors have to be able to slip out of one bodysuit into a new one at a whim and sometimes play more than one character at once. In this instance, we are able to see how Henry Cavill working in two different movies simultaneously effected his physical appearance and how that turned out in the end for the productions he was involved with. I respect actors for finding a way to keep their own individuality divided from their characters and for being able to keep their characters divided from one another. Actors are truly impressive individuals because of the way they can represent people who no longer have a voice and show what they believe in a honest and representational way and I'm glad that this mustache incident open my eyes up to what actors go through with playing multiple characters.
