She has become the "target of public criticism" today.
Not long ago, "A Rainy Day in New York" released Chinese poster. Starring Sweet Tea Selena, the story is about an encounter, although trivial and full of twists and turns, which is also interspersed with the unbearable side of love, but fortunately, the sugar-sprinkled high-sugar ending makes people lose the ability to say no.
With the release date hanging in the air, there is also the United States. In contrast, the public is not full of expectations for this suspense, but is controversial. The reason is simple – it's directed by the famous Woody Allen.
Because of the sexual assault allegations, the film, which was originally scheduled for 2018, was forced to be withdrawn indefinitely under the trend of the anti-sexual assault movement MeToo. The film stars in a series of operations, amplifying its embarrassment. Sweet Tea donated all the film remuneration, and Selena, who did not speak out, was once spat at by netizens that "supported feminism but filmed for the sexual assault director", nakedly punching the scene.
After 2 years, the return of movies to theaters has become an inevitability. It's still a hot potato, and no slice is willing to take risks. Time has become an eraser, and people's tolerance has quietly risen.
Everyone is indeed doing this, although there is no big publicity, it became the global box office champion in the first round of the first round of release. Of course, at the moment of the epidemic, people urgently need similar romantic comedies to soothe their uneasiness. Some netizens also spoke unceremoniously: each movie ticket is a secondary injury to the victim of sexual assault.
The comeback of Woody Allen is by no means unique. Back in the last year, including stand-up comedian Louis C. K and comedian Aziz Ansar, including many actors and directors who have been sexually assaulted, are testing the waters to return. Some people won full houses, and some like "President Shimogi" Kevin Spacey, who participated in the film only received $126 at the first day of the box office, which ended dismal.
They apologize, they disappear, they reflect, they learn a valuable lesson, as if those hurts never happened... In a comeback, the heat of the MeToo movement is slowly fading. Only news of Weinstein's appearance in court is an occasional reminder of its existence.
MeToo is a movement, but anti-sexual assault is a protracted battle. Last week, a brand new accusation came to the front page. Director Alexander Payne, who was nominated for the Oscars for Best Picture with "A Glass of Wine Life" and "Nebraska," was accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl. The shock and anger of the past were awakened again.
As for the victim in the text, it is the actor Rose McGowan.
Anti-sexual assault whistleblower
Rose recalled that when she was 15 years old, she was invited to the apartment by Payne, who showed her a very obscure 18-ban film, and the violation immediately occurred. "I'm sadder than angry, for my 15-year-old self, and I still feel that everything is to blame." I just want everyone to know that if you're being indoctrinated with the idea of 'no big deal,' it's not your fault. ”
Although the two sides have not yet responded, public opinion is in an uproar. It is not only a sexual assault incident, but also a "juvenile abduction infringement". The public's anger is far greater than ever.
This is not the first time Rose has backed up an anti-sexual assault campaign, and she was one of the first women to publicly accuse Weinstein. At her encouragement, nearly 90 women, including "Little Pepper" Gwyneth Paltrow, filed a lawsuit against Weinstein, pushing the Hollywood alligator off the altar and becoming the fuse of the anti-sexual assault movement that swept the world.
It all started when promoting the new book "Brave", when the reporter asked about the sexual assault experience that Rose had mentioned, and this history gradually emerged. Rose hid Payne's name from the time until today, two years later. She believes that many of the protagonists of sexual assaults have taken advantage of the victims' good feelings or ignorance of themselves, lured or coerced them, and brainwashed them: "I used to think of this as a sexual act... It wasn't until I saw the story published in The New Yorker that I began to trace the experience. ”
For the unbearable past, Rose never hides. She shared a childhood filled with "Sons of God," also devastated by the infamous organization, along with Oscar winner Revan Phoenix.
She called on women to pay attention to sexual harassment in the workplace and shared on Twitter her experience of being harassed by "vulgar language" in the late 1990s. "I'm sad because of the hurt hidden in the unseen corners and in the shadows of the day." Sexual harassment is a temptation, and condoning it has the potential to escalate this harm into sexual assault.
A series of operations put women such as Rose and Mold on the cover of Time Magazine's Person of the Year, becoming the "anti-sexual assault whistleblower" in the MeToo movement.
From goddess to whistleblower
Rose encouraged many women to speak up for justice, but the comments about her were inseparable from controversy.
Italian actress Elsa Aquido once tweeted in response to Rose's revelation that she had sexually assaulted a 17-year-old underage actor, claiming that it was "terrible lies and slander".
Similar controversies are also the mainstream voices in the MeToo movement. Many people accuse some of the victims of the accusations, there is no evidence to support, they just use this storm to earn traffic and attention for themselves. Rose was not spared, and was identified as a generation of "sexy goddesses" who aspired to become popular after entering middle age, including the argument of "sexy shame".
Indeed, Rose around the turn of the millennium, the scenery is infinite. With the blessing of her sexy appearance, many of the classic images she created became the iconic screen symbols of that era. Especially the one-legged female warrior in "Horror Planet", beauty and wildness are interpreted just right. After that, she also appeared in Quentin Tarantino's films, promoted to "Goddess of a Generation".
On the outside, it is the acting skills that are gradually being discovered. She starred in the magical drama "The Curse of the Virgin", which is an enduring popular drama in the United Kingdom and the United States. After that, "Kill Without Forgiveness" is also a cool drama that has attracted much attention.
Also talked about is her relationship with Manson, even though it lasted only 4 years.
Rose in front of the curtain is the endorsement of desire and hormones, and she has always spoken out for women in her life. In addition to anti-sexual assault, including equal pay for equal work, she has moved to the table and become a pioneer in active lobbying on major occasions.
There are also objections to similar operations. Just as some people accuse the conviction of sexual assault to be handed over to the law rather than moral trial, others oppose the suppression of sexual assaulters' works, because each work is a team effort, not an individual achievement, and a one-size-fits-all ban is unfair.
In response to outside questions, Rose responded: "I just want a statement and an apology, I don't want to ruin you." "In the final analysis, the pursuit of justice should also not be morally constrained and kidnapped.
This is exactly what MeToo teaches people, that attention is fading, and encouragement of courage is continuing. Not long ago, the "Allen Show" crew broke a scandal, and three producers resigned because of office indecent behavior. Among the victims of the voice, a male figure appeared.
In the face of sexual assault, it has nothing to do with gender. Especially in the case of sexual assault of many minors, the proportion of male child victims is far greater than expected. Just as MeToo is about, we can see the hidden corners that have been overlooked, and call for more equal and just care for each victim.
Whether it's MeToo or Rose, we should applaud their courage to break their silence more than to be suspicious.
