99% of the time, they work their way up. There are hundreds of better female DoP’s out there.
Also, most DoP’s don’t usually go from $10 million to >$100 million pictures in the space of one project unless there’s some massive nepotism afoot. She already is in the ASC. Do you know how hard it is to get into the ASC? by brutallyhonestcritic@lemmy.world reason: Possible voter manipulation. |
| 1 year ago | mod | Removed Comment Thanks for the essay. I appreciate your point. It was well written but snarky. Maybe subtract the snark to actually have an adult discussion sometime.
Ps. I disagree entirely on Alice Brooks being “lauded”. As a person that works in the film industry, Wicked is one of the worst looking $150 million films I have ever seen. Let’s agree to disagree. by brutallyhonestcritic@lemmy.world reason: Trolling. |
| 1 year ago | mod | Removed Comment Bending over backwards to counter my argument.
My whole argument is based on the fact that for the entire life of the film industry, those that consistently put in the work and developed a style were eventually promoted to leadership roles.
I don’t disagree with the nepo babies part.
However, IMHO, we need to encourage schools and entry level positions to have fair admission practices.
The solution doesn’t come from artificially boosting women to the top. It comes from the bottom. If you want more women in the film industry, the solution isn’t to suddenly put all the women in leadership roles. If I may offer an analogy: You have to plant the seeds, not throw saplings in with mature trees and expect them to flourish.
The healthy solution (that wouldn’t sacrifice the quality of the material) is to get more women into film at the entry level areas. That way, they can naturally beat their male counterparts objectively rather than being forcefed. That is unless you _want_ to see objectively worse movies as long as they are helmed by women. Sounds like that’s exactly what you want, though.
You can’t encourage the film industry to force people that weren’t skilled enough for the biggest jobs to put those people in those jobs just because of their sex. That directly punishes the audience for wanting quality solely for the sake of PR. by brutallyhonestcritic@lemmy.world reason: More possible voter manipulation |
| 1 year ago | mod | Removed Comment My thought hadn’t fully materialized to make much sense.
Here’s another stab at it:
What I mean is, entry level jobs are fine. But in the world of engineering (for example), artificially making choices based on ethnicity or gender for the top tier job can have **very** real consequences. I’m all for giving minorities more opportunities but I think putting them in charge or in the main role solely because of their gender, sexuality, or ethnicity can be a recipe for disaster.
Minorities should **obviously** be considered with the same weight as white men but IMO that choice (especially at the top) **should be made based on SKILL and qualifications**. IMO, it’s fine to artificially inflate roles that aren’t the department head but department heads need to be decided on an OBJECTIVE BASIS. by brutallyhonestcritic@lemmy.world reason: Possible voter manipulation |
| 1 year ago | mod | Removed Comment Take them where you can get them. You obviously needed a “W” more than I. I was just expressing my opinion and you came in and wrote essays that agree with me then pretended you “won” like a sad, lonely, insecure person. by brutallyhonestcritic@lemmy.world reason: Harrasment of user. |
| 1 year ago | mod | Removed Comment Yeah! Let’s double down on nepotism and not picking the best person for the job!
“I know he’s a famous, incredibly skilled, multiple Oscar winning auteur that produces nothing but box office hits, but does he HAVE A **VAGINA**?!?” /s
To go further, I find it suspicious that less than 50% of all directors aren’t transsexual.
Next year: “Even though only 2% of all filmmakers are transsexual, we really need to artificially inflate those numbers to 50%. The quality of their work be damned!”
______
Dunno about anyone else here but I’d rather just see good movies. I don’t give a _flying fuck_ what the genitals or ethnicity of the people who make it are. I care about the QUALITY OF THE PROJECT. How many bad films and tv shows get made nowadays just because they decided to go with a female director despite lack of experience or _passion for the project_?
I hate that hiring choices aren’t being made considering skill. They are being made by skin color and gender.
I obviously want these minorities to have opportunities but I also don’t think it makes much sense in the art world where the product is a direct result of the talent of the director. By all means, artificially inflate the number of women that work in an office or some other white collar job but studios should stay the fuck away from this kind of thing when it comes to the film industry.
______
Edit: Here’s some more clarity about what I mean:
Minorities should **obviously** be considered with the same weight as white men but IMO that choice (especially at the top) **should be made based on SKILL and qualifications**. IMO, it’s fine to artificially inflate roles that aren’t the department head but department heads need to be decided on an OBJECTIVE BASIS. by brutallyhonestcritic@lemmy.world reason: Harrasment and bigotry. |

| 2 years ago | mod | Removed Comment It's completely unrealistic when I first saw it. Great fantasy but so impossible it's more like a piece of pulp fiction on film.
Any woman that beautiful in a post apocalyptic world would never exist. They would be raped, enslaved, bought and sold like a prize within months of the world breaking down.
Whenever I see or read scenarios like this I'm constantly reminded by a quote by Kurt Vonnegut, a veteran of the second world war who wrote some great books about war including 'Slaughter House Five' ..... he said ... "In war there are only two types of women, those that have been raped and those that will be raped"
When the world breaks down and there is no law and order any more, the women are usually the first to suffer.
This is why I thought this film was unrealistic with such a beautiful model actor as the lead. by  IninewCrowreason: Misogynistic comment |
