About This Quote
In the movie "Alfie," Jude Law’s character, Alfie, says, “How obvious can it be? … The purpose of makeup is to defy the degradations of time, and time is just a synonym for death.” In this quote, we see that Alfie looks at using makeup as a way to defy death. There is no reason that we should look like we are aging and aging quickly. Using makeup keeps our appearance looking young and beautiful while also making us feel young and beautiful. Using makeup allows us to feel and look like we are still young and attractive while we know that we are not.
