Why is Zoolander's phone so small in this movie? The screen must be tiny - how can you browse the web or view photos on something that size.
shareI think it's meant to be taking the piss out of people like that. Trends happen and people are wanting things smaller and neater
shareI'm not sure if you're joking, but when the movie was made in 2001, smart phones weren't a "thing" - so the fashion trend with phones was to make them as small as possible.
shareIn late 90's I annoyed people by joking about my new phone. I said it's so small I can't keep it in my pocket - there's no pocket small enough (in reality it was a cheap phone about the size of modern smart phone.
It was a silly trend, and propably died fast because small phones weren't very obvious to strangers, who might get envious of one. In fact I remember a counter culture of people using early 90's phones, that were very large and impractical. I suppose it was some sort of decadent asceticism.
Phones in 2001 were not capable of browsing the web.
Prof. Farnsworth: Oh. A lesson in not changing history from Mr. I'm-My-Own-Grandpa!
There was a short trend around that time where phones were made smaller and it was considered to be really cool to have a tiny phone. The Motorola V180 is a good example of that. Now they're trending to clown-sized huge.
shareAt the time the trend in cell phones was to make them as small as possible. The movie was just making fun of it.
shareUmmmm.......it was a joke. An obvious one at that.
shareYou are right. At 26 minutes in he pulls out a very tiny flip phone. Ridiculously small.
