Mads Mikkelsen on method acting: “It’s bullshit. What if it’s a shit film - what do you think you achieved? Am I impressed that you didn’t drop character? You should have dropped it from the beginning!“

Agreed 💯, also

I think using your talents to enrich and empower a transphobe is bullshit, Mads. https://t.co/oSLIjiXQTY

maybe it's bc i like Mads, but i don't find this to be the argument ppl think it is. there is an entire organization enabling the creation of these films and framing the actors working on this film as having some kind of moral deficiency is bottom of the barrel commentary imo

[miniglik]

At a certain point there is some shitbag involved in the creation of every movie ever made. Holding actors accountable for every person they've ever tangentially worked with is exhausting. I get it if it’s the director (film), showrunner (tv) or lead actor (both), but at some point I just… cant be mad all the time at people for everyone theyve ever associated with.

[semalina]

right. we can't have space for everything. might make us hypocrites at times, but i'd rather be that, and acknowledge it, than try to be some omniscient being

[sapphiredragon]

I agree with this, I think also Jessica Williams is very vocally supportive of trans lives, and black trans lives specifically, and I don't think she's enabling by accepting a big career opportunity that probably isn't necessarily offered to her frequently.

He is not a struggling artist. He has options

Look deep enough and you gonna find somebody problematic in a production. Working for any film produced by Disney? Problematic.

[slaughtermatic]

Mads mikkelsen does absolutely not have his pick of blockbusters tho

[a_files06]

If we went back to former posts a few years ago for most of ONTD.....problematic to the P.

[subomie]

It feels different when it's a franchise people have been actively protesting.

[hellcatshalala]

I think it's just different art styles but some people might do it genuinely, like Daniel Day Lewis

Jared Leto has nothing to do with that tho, he's an ass and that's about it
