After finding the tiktok clip (pic 1, correct name should be Hugoson) during research for Hakan Brakan (2022) (other boy rating 4), I have rechecked this movie. Felix would give rating 8-9 for "perfect" actor and bibs. He looked more cool and older in pic 1 and I hoped for more scenes.
I think there are just 2 brief scenes. One starting at 1 sitting in audience but partial view/headshot, later standing. The 2nd and only notable but brief scene is at 9 (pic 2) including walking rear view. Very brief and quite disappointing. Bib at low position, young boy. I also don't like the fabric/color. But the main con is his age. So rating 3-(4) was correct for me. There are also snow coveralls and maybe snow bibs like this lady at 15 (closer at 18). I haven't checked more of those.
Felix and I often have different ratings (a partial comparison list here). Recently L'instit. Maybe he mainly rate the actors? Rating 8-9 is higher or same level as (his and my ratings) of Kidsongs, The Sugar Creek Gang, The Dinosaur Hunter, The Nature of Nicholas, etc. I wonder how he would rate The Waltons and what is his favourite actor and season. And how he would rate the movies with (just) ladies.
An average rating of 5 for me should have an actor/actress at least aged ~10-11 (and not younger looking), at least one longer scene, or 2 long scenes including one rear view, bib not at low position, and I prefer US or CDN actors/settings, long bibs and not too tight. Younger kids, fewer scenes, low back, shortalls etc are usually rating 4 or less.
A good sitting scene (not distance) is usually rating 7 or up. Farm setting, farm work, more actors, other actions, (un)dressing, wet etc. gain bonus points. Yes of course, it depends on the actors. As I prefer males, ladies and girls usually have a lower rating. I prefer baggy or raw denim and long pairs on ladies as well. Maybe others should add +1 or +2 on my ratings for females. I try to give an objective rating for females but compared to other movies. I should give ratings for actors and movies as well but It's too late for change them all, but I mention them in the posts.
Sometimes I'm unsure about my ratings. Like Rascal. (Bill Mumy is quite old, low back, but a good cycling scene). Or The Music Man (1962) perfect but very brief scene(s).

Ratings are difficult really because I think they can change over time a little but also depends on many factors. Some films can have a really highly rated scene for me, but if this scene is only very short, how should I rate it? I think one big difference between us maybe? Is that I don't particularly like old style dungarees and particularly not dirty, scruffy work/farm dungarees, so I think I would disagree with you for many of your Waltons ratings, but I really don't know it well enough to comment fully. It's a series I enjoyed when it was first on TV but since then I didn't watch it. But I would agree with your 10/10 rating for Tom in S4E9. As for women in dungarees, it depends on the actress and the style of dungarees. For instance I really liked the light brown dungarees on the woman in "The Hole in the Ground (2019)" the blue denim dungarees are ok but not as good and I think I could give an 8/10 for her in these two dungarees in this movie. At the moment I can't think of other high rated examples but I'm sure there are some. In general I prefer tailored fit dungarees, so many of these modern style almost square shape at the hip will rate lower. I also don't like bibs with extra buttons down the front (usually worn by girls or women). But with everything I'm sure there are exceptions. I noticed I rated Superman II as 6/10 on my old blog, but I captured screenshots of this recently again and I think I agree with your 8/10, maybe I rated it lower at the time because the scene is too short. (There's also a delete scene with Marcus where he rides off on a horse in the same bibs)
ReplyDeleteOne more tip: Meine Freundin Volker (2022) a short scene at 1hr 2mins with a teen girl in shortalls.
Yes, thanks! You're right. I prefer farm bibs. Most on The Waltons (I like) aren't dirty. Especially on later seasons and especially of Elizabeth. Some are raw denim and most like Lee's are timeless (not in season 1). Yes and ratings could change and I also wondered about Superman. Generally I don't like tight and modern (90s) pairs. But always exceptions like JTT in Home Improvement. Or 7th Heaven.
