Title: Oh no. Scarlett Johan’ ruffles a few feathers: “I can play any gender/ethnicity”
Post by: NMD on July 14, 2019, 11:17:32 AM
QuoteThe actress, whose timeless quality is one reason why she is one of the all-time biggest box-office draws, says she has been as inspired by film icons of the past as her fans are by her today. "There were actors during the later Golden Age of Hollywood era that had a certain confidence, which I think was due to the force of this new, naturalistic style of performance," she says. "I'm thinking of actors like James Dean, Natalie Wood and Marlon Brando. These actors were starting a revolution in Hollywood with screen acting. They had a very messy, unpredictable, and thrilling aspect to their performances, and watching them is thrilling because of it."

She also touches on the controversy of actors playing different genders and ethnicities, saying, "You know, as an actor I should be allowed to play any person, or any tree, or any animal because that is my job and the requirements of my job... There are a lot of social lines being drawn now, and a lot of political correctness is being reflected in art."

She's been saying this for nearly a decade and caught flack for wanting to portray a black woman

i get it but she doesn't understand how silly it is and how it will lead to black face and filling roles that black women should be getting 

:rudone:

She's right. I don't see the issue as long as it's not offensive.

In a perfect world i'd agree. I mean, the whole point of acting is to bring fantasy to life. The problem is, it's not a perfect world and it's hard enough for actors of colour to find mainstream roles, without having to compete against white actors for the same role too :dead:

She should kept her mouth closed on this one.

She's right. An actor's job is to portray someone else's story. It's art and the interpretation of the filmmakers. I don't see how anyone thinks they have a right to the say of any movie cast if they're not an investor in the film.  :uhh: Go make your own damn movie and create it how you see fit. This isn't some government funded project where taxpayers have a vote.

What an irresponsible way to look at it, especially since there's not a shortage of roles coming her way.

This is white entitlement wrapped up in a battle cry
