How Has So Much More Happened With Don't Worry Darling? 

one that you watch even, in a theater. the theater you go to to watch the movie!! (where the movie is)

I didn't get it till now. Hahah I've been seeing that comments on many of the videos discussing about this whole mess and I was so confused.

like....this man has been PR trained and doing nonstop interviews for like 13 years... how could he have come up with this gem?

@@kc7646 if you watch his one direction interviews he has always been like this. sometimes he gets caught up in his head trying to express an idea and it comes out in the most silly ways. there was the “london’s quite big” incident back in like… 2014 maybe? some slagging and well-intentioned fun is cool but i feel like a lot of people making fun of this in cruel ways need to examine where that urge comes from, but hey who am I to say?

You're completely right about the double standard, but the situations are very different (which admittedly makes the whole Levinson thing much worse). The Don't worry darling stuff is drama, it's tea, and it's fun to speculate and talk about. It's like a fictional TV show for us. I would say that this is what the interest in it comes from. The stuff in Euphoria seems to run much deeper and there needs to be accountability. Who knows what Levinson wanted to make her do for her to just get up and leave the show, which she officially did. If there was any kind of foul play involved, she should denounce it and he should face the consequences, but I don't see it happening at least for a while because HBO would have certainly made her sign a very tight NDA.

Cuz nobody watched Euphoria Like whut?

Chris with his camera taking photos of Florence was just so goddamn adorable, look at how happy he was!

SAME 😭

One of the movies of all time

Yeah it was literally the next sentence, “a go-to-the-theatre type of film.” It was obvious what he meant. But I do get that the sound bite is funny.

and with awards season coming up in a few months, it could grow even more powerful

👏 👏

I don't disagree about Hollywood's white feminism or racism, but she wasn't saying "I'm actually a nice person because I'm a woman." They were referring to the fact that many male directors who literally abused their actresses on set are still revered today (Hitchcock, Kubrick, Tarantino), while Wilde has gotten a ton of backlash for something comparatively minor. I have a lot of criticisms for Wilde and the type of privileged white feminism she seems to embody, but what she and Colbert were saying in this case was not wrong at all.

@@maggiedk All of Hollywood activisms is very superficial. It seems more and more like give a speech or make a strong statement and remarks for roar of applauses in front of lights and cameras, then not actually following through and taking actions when the curtains are drawn. I remember how Natalie Portman went on about feminism and women in Hollywood workforce, then the ratios of people involved in movies directed by her said otherwise. Celebrities lecturing us about environment and how we're dooming the world but they refuse to stop using their private jets. They're so many instances. Of Hypocrisies. Most of us are tired of it. But some of us still are looking at the celebrities as some sort of guiding lights and leaders and put them on pedestals for just saying or doing bare minimums. But yes I do agree that Olivia is being judged more than the male directors who have done far worse to their actors, actresses and crews. But I feel it mostly have to do with the hypocrisy; I don't think she would get much backlashes if she hasn't been portraying herself as the feminist and the empowerment of women. I don't know who or how they decided who get paid what but it would have been nice to hear and see the evidences of Olivia fighting for Florence to get paid more (if the whole Florence getting paid less rumors are truth).

@@mahogara I totally agree that she's a hypocrite, and I think a lot of the backlash she's been receiving is with good reason. I didn't mean for my comment to come off as if I'm trying to defend her actions overall in this situation; I actually think the way she's been trying to publicly pat herself on the back for her shallow, ineffective, privileged white feminism while sucking up to an abuser behind the scenes is incredibly gross. I have SO many problems with the things she's done in this whole situation. I was just trying to say that in that one conversation between her and Colbert, he did have a point about the amount of backlash she's receiving vs male directors who have done much worse. But I don't think that means that she shouldn't receive ANY criticism, just that those male directors should receive much more than they do. I think it's important to acknowledge that misogyny plays a huge part in the public scrutiny of any woman, but I don't think that means that they shouldn't be criticized for doing bad things.

@@maggiedk I agree about the rule of sexism but also shes new to directing but is already famous for being a hot but average actress which doesn't help. Also she couldve avoided a lot of attention if she wasnt trying to score feminism points for doing barely anything and just talked about directing. Also no one would be talking about this movie if it wasnt for the drama cause its just meh.

@@clara-nt9rx again, I don't really disagree with any of that lol. Once again: I'm not saying that she doesn't deserve any criticism or hasn't brought on a lot of it with her actions. Just that Colbert's point about the *amount* of criticism and scrutiny directed towards her vs male directors was not wrong.

wowww you're 100% right

Yeah, he didn't articulate it well at all--it's hard to buy into the idea of original movies when DWD's production has so much public drama.

OH SHOOT

What does that mean?

Funny because I was actually thinking about Kanye in relation to these antics. I do believe that man has some serious mental health issues, but I also think his erratic behavior is at least partially deliberate. I think he understands that culturally, we’re kind of numb to celebrity gossip unless there’s some element of chaos to it. We need the spectacle of something that looks like it’s either going horribly wrong and the life of this person is spinning out of control, or something that just completely makes a hard left turn with the traditional narrative/expectations of celebrity life. He’s stayed in the zeitgeist as long as he had because he’s made himself a performance artist and an expert on commodifying outrage and the spectacle of being a train wreck on top of being a rapper. I guarantee you most people don’t even know the song “I made that bitch famous” line even came from but they know the line, they know the controversy, and they know the image. In the case of Don’t Worry Darling I do believe the conflict is real, but I think no one actually cares about who said what and that people are only invested because it looks like chaos. It looks like everything is going wrong and the people who are supposed to be in control of the narrative are not.

Umm. Kanye is literally nazi adjacent

The fact that you think being a woman would be a salve for criticism says it all. The sexism of that thought is astounding. Women have to deal with far more than that. Sexual assault, femicide, racism, wage gaps, poverty, etc. We're not providing a get out of jail free card for her actions. We're saying that it is unjust that male directors can be sexual assaulters and continue to get gigs and we all sit by and continue to support them while scrutinizing her every move. She does deserve to be held accountable.There's no doubt there Not for her personal life but her directorial work.
