What Beautiful Eyes!: Difference between revisions

See also [[Gaussian Girl]], a type of picture that emphasizes the eyes. This trope is the bolder cousin to [[When She Smiles]]. The page name [[I Thought It Meant|isn't]] meant to [[Such a Lovely Noun|imply a threat.]] [[Eye Scream|Probably.]]

 

 

{{examples}}

* Shizuka, Doremi and Dekisuki in ''[[Doraemon]]'' probably to symbolize their intelligence.

** Recent anime puts this on Nobita too on the rare case that he doesn't wear glasses. He got it from his mother instead of his father's dotted eyes.

* In ''[[Fate/Zero]]'', one of the things that keys Irisviel in about Lancer's identity (Diarmuid Ua Duibhne of the Love Spot) is the "impressive brilliance" of his eyes seems to be accentuated a little ''too'' well by that [[Beauty Mark]] of his, as if magic had some hand in it.

 

* It is often said that [[Superman]] has startling blue eyes that could never be mistaken for human. [[Clark Kenting|The glasses]] negate this.

 

* ''[[Alpha and Omega]]'': Lily has striking lavender eyes, which no other wolf in Jasper Park has.

* ''[[Beauty and the Beast]]'': The first thing Belle notices about Beast is his blue eyes. This is brought up again about two times later on in the movie.

* In ''[[The Crow]]'', Myca comments to a kidnapped Sarah, "Her eyes are so innocent..." This is played for [[Nightmare Fuel]], as Myca has a habit of [[Eye Scream|collecting people's eyes]], and Sarah is a little girl.

 

* [[The Dark Tower|Roland Deschain]]'s eyes are described as preternaturally blue, clear and murderous. They're also too finely tuned to see the picture on a TV screen.

* Sayuri/Chiyo's blue-grey eyes in ''[[Memoirs of a Geisha]]'' are given a lot of focus. Many characters describe them as rather startling, that they're the first thing that captures your attention. That they're like "the color of a mirror" and that you could [[Reflective Eyes|easily see yourself in them]].

* In [[Tales of Kolmar]], Akhor the Lord of the [[Our Dragons Are Different|Kantri]] has [[Green Eyes]] which aren't seen as particularly remarkable by his own Kindred, but humans find them fascinating and hypnotic - "the eyes of a dragon are perilous deep". When he [[Humanity Ensues|becomes human]] at the end of the first book he keeps the eyes, and it's repeatedly remarked on that they are still startling, and can show the weight of his long life.

 

* One episode of ''[[Criminal Minds]]'' had an [[Eye Scream|eye-removing killer]], after being arrested, give a very creepy compliment to JJ (AJ Cook) about how beautiful her eyes are.

* Since Clare's main change in Season 10 of ''[[Degrassi]]'' was losing her glasses, most compliments to her have had to do with her eyes. First from Alli when Clare was thinking about getting the eye surgery, later that same story her first meeting with future boyfriend Eli was punctuated with him telling her that "she had pretty eyes." Fiona uses the same line when she shows up drunk to lunch with Clare. Aislinn Paul has very distinctive blue eyes.

* In ''[[Wizards of Waverly Place]]'', Harper (that is in [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|Alex's]] body and has a huge crush on Justin) tells Justin that she might faint because he is staring at her with ''those'' eyes. David Henrie's eye color is quite ambiguous and really enthralling, as it can be seen [https://web.archive.org/web/20120312134426/http://loshechicerosdewaverlyplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/large_exclusive-photoshoot_0110061.jpg from] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130628070044/http://oceanup.com/legacy/2009/05/26/david-henrie-selena-gomez-blond.jpg many] [http://www.studentsoftheworld.info/sites/misc/img/5517_david%20henrie.jpg close-ups].

 

* [[Taylor Swift]]'s song "Beautiful Eyes." The narrator never actually ''says'' what makes the eyes beautiful. However, she does repeatedly call them beautiful, and says she'll dream about them.

** Another Taylor Swift song, "Teardrops On My Guitar," mentions this. The narrator mentions that she hopes the girl Drew likes "Look[s] in those beautiful eyes and know[s] she's lucky..."

* [[Amy Lee]] from [[Evanescence]] is known for having beautiful eyes. They are naturally green, though she wears blue contacts at times.

 

* Telma takes some fascination with Link's eyes in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess]]'', as she lets Ilia know.

{{quote|'''Telma:''' This swordsman of ours has great eyes, honey. They're proud and wild...like a feral beast.}}

** The glowing eyes thing is a trait shared by all members of Soldier (Shinra's Elite troops/ super-soldiers) due to being injected with Mako to enhance their abilities. The game's villain Sephiroth has them as well, though they just make him look creepy.

** These Mako eyes are apparently also bewitching for [[Even the Guys Want Him|men]]. As noted by one of Corneo's rapist lackeys that went chasing Cloud ([[Disguised in Drag|in drag]]):

* Right at the very End of [[Asura's Wrath]] finale DLC {{spoiler|As he [[Disappears Into Light]], his angry white holes for eyes revert to his regular ones while they are still glowing. It's and extremely beautiful and [[Tear Jerker|Heartbreaking]] example of this.}}

 

* In Kohaku's route of ''[[Tsukihime]]'' when {{spoiler|Akiha}} goes [[Yandere]], Shiki has to fight her to save Kohaku and uses his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception on her. Her reaction? "What beautiful... blue eyes."

** Which is actually rather disturbing, since when almost anyone else sees his eyes they're terrified. Which is understandable, because they look pretty much evil.

** [http://i47.tinypic.com/b3o27q.jpg Didn't Shirou have something to say about Rider before petrification started to take effect?] I could stare at those eyes forevvvv-

 

* In an early page of ''[[Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi]]'', Blossom bumps into Dexter in the hallway at school, knocking off his glasses to reveal his beautiful [[Blue Eyes]]. She subsequently becomes [[Distracted by the Sexy]].

* In ''[[Sinfest]]'', one of the things that makes Criminy so attractive to [[Noble Demon|Fuschia]] besides his [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man|gentle disposistion]] are his "pretty brown eyes".

* [[Girl Genius|Othar Tryggvassen]], [[Memetic Mutation|GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER!]], goes from an intimidating [[Genius Bruiser]] to a full-fledged ([[The Big Guy|if rather bulky]]) [[Bishounen]] [http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20080125 simply by removing his visor.]

'''Doug''': I know. I just look at you and... }}

 

* ''[[Family Guy]]'': In the episode "Peter-assment" Peter wears contacts to work after his glasses break and his boss is shown looking at him in astonishment saying "I can see your eyes, and your eyelashes. They're beautiful!"

 

* One of the striking parts of the famous photo "[[media:AfghanGirl.jpg|Afghan Girl]]".

* Many fans asked WETA how they digitally enhanced Elijah Wood's eyes in ''[[The Lord of the Rings (film)|Lord of the Rings]]''. They responded, "We didn't". Fangirl squeeing ensued.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd8jfzN5OkI Dominic Monaghan pranked Elijah] by conducting a satellite interview posing as a German talk show host. Several times he discusses Elijah's [[Ho Yay|big blue eyes]], culminating with, "You have very big eyes, big blue eyes. Do you think this is the reason why you're successful?"
