It’s amazing what a difference a hat can make. Like a
pair of glasses, a person can look totally different whenever they’re wearing
them. Take Tom Hanks in Road to Perdition for instance. When he’s wearing a
low-tipped hat covering the upper part of his face in this movie, he totally
looks older, weary and menacing. Those aren’t words one usually associates with
Hanks, but they totally come to mind when his character, Michael Sullivan, dons
a hat. Whenever he takes that hat off, though, a magical transformation occurs. Suddenly, Hanks is back to looking boyish
and charming, like it hasn't been a day since Turner & Hooch. What a difference a hat can make.
