Did anyone else not recognise Tilda Swinton?


I was looking out for her throughout the film and by the end I figured that she must have just had a small part that I missed. The only person I associated her with was the ginger property-developer. Then I looked on here and saw who she really was. Amazing what a change of hair colour can do, eh?

How do you like them apples?

I agree. I actually wound back and watched her scene again and still couldn't tell it was her.

Nope, I didn't recognise her either! I'm a huge fan of hers, and was really excited when I saw her name on the opening credits, but I was really puzzled when the film ended. I thought maybe she was Carmen's secertary, with glasses and her hair tied back so tight...but no. I'm going to rewatch this scene later, see if I recognise her at all as Penny!

Yes it's obvious that she is Penny!

I had NO idea that was Tilda Swinton.

I didn't. I was shocked to see her name among the credits, and that was the 3rd time I was watching it.

The 1st, I watched it b/c of Sharon Stone, the 2nd time, I watched it b/c I really loved Bill Murray. The 3rd time, I checked out Chloƫ Sevigny... and WOW, I saw Tilda Swinton. That woman is unrecognizable!

I don't intend to be offensive, but I have to defend my opinions.

I saw her name in the credits at the beginning so when her scene came up I did recognize her. Although it took me a little bit. I kept saying, "is THAT Tilda Swinton? OMG she looks different." And I figured it had to be her because it was already towards the end of the movie.

Huh?? Tilda Swinton was in this movie?? who the hell did she play?

No idea, either. I thought she looked great with dark hair. When I saw the redneck atmosphere, I wasn't expecting an all too attractive person, but good god, she looked great.

And it wasn't a typical Tilda Swinton role. And it was a small role.

one thing I noticed is the former girlfriends got more distant, Sharon stones's caracter seemed nice in that she seemed kind of happy to see Don, the last one he met was Penny who for wahtever reason was not happy to see him
And he visits the cemetery last before going home
