favorite story: apparently, while filming “black swan,” the director would try to pit mila kunis and natalie portman against each other, telling them that the other woman was doing a better job, in hopes of making their characters’ rivalry seem more authentic. but it completely backfired, since instead of getting angry or competitive, natalie and mila would just congratulate each other on doing such good work.
Directors who do stuff like this are pieces of shit
What men think women are like verses what women are actually like
also this:
Let’s name the director:
Darren Aronofsky. He has since directed mother! where he forced Jennifer Lawrence to reshoot a scene after she broke a rib or something. He is still really praised in cinephile circles, which is why I want to name and shame him.
And let us all admit that directors like Darren Aronofsky are not being praised DESPITE this behaviour but rather BECAUSE of it. They’re seen as edgy and willing to take risks and do what needs to be done, no matter the fallout, to get the perfect shot. They take risks for their art.
Except, of course, they don’t. They make other take risks, they push and damage other people, not themselves.
Darren Aronofsky banned bottled water on the set of “Noah”, and after a long day of filming, Emma Watson came back to her trailer so exhausted and dehydrated that she unthinkingly drank a glass of water that had been left sitting out for weeks, maybe months. The water had gotten filthy by that point, and it made her horrifically ill. When she told Aronofsky that she was sick, he refused to let her take a break from filming. He told her to “use it”.
Aronofsky’s a manipulative, abusive POS.
Tarantino, Kurbrik, Hitchcock – asshole male directors, but there’s a shit ton of them. Some are well known, some are not.
Everyone you pass in the street has their own life and family and thinks of them self as the protagonist in their own life, but you don’t care about each other This isn’t anything new but it’s kind of strange how everyone sees themself as the main character but nobody else cares
“Layer by layer I removed all that I thought I was, all that I thought I had to be and in the moment I was left standing naked and vulnerable without identities and labels, I remembered, I am that I am.”
