    The angles of the pictures are different, so the real guys may be closer to Bradley’s than this comparison shows. It looks like Bradley’s could still be a bit larger

      Agreed, the right picture is a fairly misleading angle, depending on what pictures makeup was working with, it might be slightly larger, but it’s not that crazy

        not really worth litigating about the accuracy—like it probably is in fact close, and its unlikely intended as caricature in a biopic i imagine is laudatory.

        the problem is the decision to do it all while being aware of the trope & the fact many other things about the film’s depiction will be inaccurate. if there was an overwhelming artistic reason to have the player look so much like the real guy a different actor(s) shouldve been cast.and if Cooper was so good at acting like him, if he was the perfect casting choice— he wouldnt need extra illusion to sell it
