She also sat in front of a 20-year-old Harvey Weinstein in one of se hotel rooms. In addition to her, Canadian actress and director Sarah Polley in New York Times made it unmistakably clear that he would promote m if she "had a close relationship" with him. She did not enter offer, writes Polley, since she had little ambition at time to pursue a career as an actress. "The men you meet making movies" ("The men you make when making movies") is ir text, and he discusses how sexual harassment for women in industry was and is of course. Weinstein is just a "pus bladder in a heavy-health industry," writes Polley. As a document she takes a project that she wanted to shoot a few years ago with a group of well-known Hollywood actresses. It should be a short film comedy, in which everyone tells worst thing that happened to her in movie business. Toger, horror stories should have been funny! But that was not case. On contrary, it was suddenly clear to all women that it was a matter of bad attacks that could not be interpreted as a comedic framework.
The case of Weinstein is already a typical story. Especially Hollywood stars of both sexes mostly thanked producer at Oscar ceremony, fighters for good, liberal Hollywood, supporters of independent and foreign arthouse film. And n, within a week, not only is his reputation ruined, his entire life's work is in ruins. The Oscar Academy, whose marketing campaigns he had shaped like no or, threw him out; Companies like Amazon have terminated collaboration; His own company has separated from him and may even be sold. The French president wants to deprive him of order of Legion of Honour. If you have to explain concept of public shaming to aliens, Weinstein could serve as a prime example.
First came jokes, n truthIn order not to let wrong picture come up: Weinstein has everything to do with it himself. But many ors have known and remained silent about his behavior. "Like so many, I knew about him", also writes Sarah Polley in her text. But she did not know how to deal with it. From audience of Bademantelund to his urges at Verabredungenin hotel rooms, declared as working meetings, did not only know frightening many concerned (DerGuardian keeps an up-to-date overview), it Had heard Auchviele "outsiders" of it. Courtney Love warned in a video of 2005: "If Harvey Weinstein invites you to a Privatpartyim Four seasons, don't go." In Tina Fey comedy series 30Rock known a figure 2012 full false self-confidence: "I habevor not fear anyone in show business, finally I have already rejected three times Sexmit Harvey Weinstein – with a total of five occasions." SethMcFarlane joked 2013 in announcing Oscar nominations for BesteSchauspielerin: "These five do not have to do so, Alsfänden Harvey Weinstein attractive."
Stein's behavior was "overlooked" and tolerated because he was a mighty man, DasFilmbusiness, in which everything arrives on relationships, image and reputation, dominated Undbespielte. However, it was Auchdaran that his appearance was "only" worst outgrowth einesverbreiteten pattern. What se days of stars like Björk, ReeseWirspoon, America Ferrera and Jennifer Lawrence report, shows how frightening extent of harassment in industry is. Björk portrayed on Facebook in wake of Twitter action MeToo her experiences with an extremely gripping "Danish director"; This is Lars von Trier who rejected accusations. In a eulogy of se days, Reese Wirspoon told how Weinstein stories reminded her of a director who had molested her when she was 16 – also without naming it. And Lawrence portrayed how she, as a teenager, had to put herself on stage naked with ors in casting – in order to get female producer to explain that she was too fat. When she complained to lead producer, he dined with words that he would not find her fat, but perfectly fuckable.
In film business, sexism shows itself in an exaggerated form. More than in or industries, appearance and ability to awaken covetousness represent an important asset. Even though female role understanding has changed in recent years, from passive ladies who need to be saved, to active heroines with karate skills: Women are still judged mainly by ir sex appeal. In jargon of film people, fuckability mentioned by Lawrence is central yardstick for which actress is to be occupied. And it is refore hardly surprising that in minds of creators following logic applies: Who, unlike producer, could estimate this "quality"? Best yet, in which he touches "product" himself and, with a "test"?
