Line 26:
It should be noted that these eye color tropes are not just for characters who have eyes of this color, but when the color actually stands for something significant to that character, like blue for water, green for earth, red for evil, ect. Please do not add characters who just happen to have eyes of this color without a substantial reason behind it.
{{noreallife|Even if eye color had a meaning in Real Life, so many people have blue eyes that we'd be here all day.}}
{{examples}}
Line 133:
* Alisa in ''[[Guest From the Future]]'', played by [[Natalia Guseva]].
* Jean Jacques-Annaud mentioned in the commentary for ''[[Enemy at the Gates]]'' that one of the reasons he so wanted Ed Harris for [[Cold Sniper|Major Koenig]] was because of his icy, unusually blue eyes. When he plays villains, critics often note the intensity of his glare. (One of the critics, reviewing ''[[The Rock]]'', said "Here's a guy whose glare could give Clint Eastwood chills.")
* [[Malcolm McDowell]] in ''[[A Clockwork Orange (film)|A Clockwork Orange]]'' has blue eyes of the "Grade-A psycho" [https://web.archive.org/web/20111106025416/http://www.dreadcentral.com/img/news/may08/7ds7b.jpg variety]. They look even creepier/cooler now that his [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EqD_yWiiS5U/RyD94ArNo0I/AAAAAAAAA3Y/2_EM5tQ2Iwo/s400/Malcolm%2bMcDowell.jpg hair's turned pure white and his face has gotten all craggy].
* [[Jonathan Rhys Meyers]]' blue, blue eyes have been used for several different effects - ice-cold as Chris in ''[[Match Point]]'', creepy-pale as Pitt Mackeson in ''[[Ride With the Devil]]'', innocent woobie eyes as Bruno in ''[[B Monkey]]'', and psychotic just about everywhere else.
* [[Escape from New York|Snake Plissken]] may have but one eye, but that eye is of the "piercing, icy" variety and ends up creating quite a striking effect; even leading other characters (notably, the Surgeon General of Beverly Hills in the [[Escape From L.A.|sequel]]) to [[What Beautiful Eyes!|comment]] upon it.
Line 320:
== Web Comics ==
* In ''[[Drowtales]]'', the entire [https://web.archive.org/web/20091231071723/http://drowtales.com/~wiki/index.php/Val%27Sullisin%27rune Val'Sullisin'rune] clan all have [[Mismatched Eyes|Heterochromia]], with one blue eye. They have a reputation as [[The Empath|empaths]] [[Good Bad Girl|who like to party]].
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20131008170549/http://www.drowtales.com/wordpress/?p=3038 Sil'lice] also has blue eyes, but hers are definitely intended to invoke ice [[An Ice Person|since it's her magical specialty]]. Concept art also shows that [[Babysitter From Hell|Syphile]] of all people had these before she was [[Red Eyes, Take Warning|tainted]], which might serve to emphasize just how much [[Break the Cutie]] she went through afterward.
* [[Lackadaisy Cats|Roark 'Rocky' Rickaby]]. Despite the comic itself being sepiatoned for flavor, color portraits of the Rocky character and of Rocky the cat show them both to possess blue-within-blue eyes. In the case of Rocky, this definitely falls under the purview of 'insane-blue' in terms of character.
* In ''[[A Modest Destiny]]'', people with blue eyes are considered to be innately evil and untrustworthy. Significantly, one character hides {{spoiler|their heterochromia}} due to this.
