Yeah, well, equality was the issue. Which is one thing I find understandable, on an instinctive level, not a rational one. As far as I can judge from following the issue superficially there are no studies that would support the notion that homosexual couples were in some way less capable of raising children. Though, even if there was any evidence of that, the same scrutiny isn't applied to other people. For Germany, the numbers clearly say that children of parents with a higher education are much more likely to attain a higher education themselves. Yet I've seen no one arguing that only intellectuals should raise children (eh, with the possible exception of Plato).I wish more of the US was open with sex and sexuality. As for France, I think there was less opposition to the approval of gay marriage and more opposition towards the ability to allow gay couples to adopt. I think the majority approved of gay marriage but opposed adoption which set off the fire storm. Even so, I can't say I wasn't taken by surprise myself.
I think what surprised me was not only the obvious lack of 'laissez-faire' but how freely all kinds of people mingled with what you could call right-wing scum. In France the middle class seems to have much fewer inhibitions when it comes to such alliances. In Germany the far right is associated and associate themselves rather openly with Nazism, and so by necessity they mostly recruit their followers among the stupid and desperate. Most people would take care never to be seen marching in file with such groups.

Legalization of gay marriages without much controversy is pretty much standard in Western Europe. With the possible exception of France, which was very surprising to me.

in HP, she was a magical schoolgirl. Since then, she has only played characters that are either schoolgirls or magical. So yeah, I think Hollywood has nothing to fear right now.

Emma always looks like herself, even on ultra staged/ retouched photos.
-
I don't feel adressed here as I don't hunt for pictures, but I know people who do that and could be insulted by this.the day I wanna know how many times she cross the road or how many she takes a plane or where she is, or searching 15 webs for a stupid photo at the airport, that day im gonna be a f*ing fool
BTW I never put people on ignore, no matter how little sense their posts make.
-
No I didn't, and why should I? It's not like anything is to be gained objectively from this discussion. What I did was paraphrasing a position I find nonsensical. I could have left out the quotation marks and that wouldn't have changed anything. You've got to live with the fact that people will find it ridiculous if you argue strongly for a paradoxical position.You've been purposefully misrepresenting my position.
BTW, don't bother trying to answer that question now. I take it you don't have an answer to it.
-
I never misquoted you. If I want to quote you, I use the quote function.You shouldn't have misquoted me in the first place.
-
For all purposes, I just did this in my last post. Again. It doesn't seem like you want to answer those questions.No, you weren't actually asking that. You were misquoting my stance, in an attempt to make me defend it.
If you just wanted me to elaborate, why didn't you just ask me to?
-
I was asking about specifics. IOW, what information about Emma do you appreciate, and what other info should be totally off limits (and why).
-
No, you were keeping your posts deliberately vague. Otherwise I think you'd have trouble explaining where your duty as an actor ends and your private life begins.Never said anything to that effect.
Do me that favor. I don't think any admin is fond of your posting style.I have a list saved with such comments, I can talk about it with an admin If you want
-
I have no respect for your post, but I think it's unnecessary to comment on it.sarcastic answer or disrespectful coment about my country in 3, 2, 1 ...
-
Fans are arbitrary/ irrational by nature, no need to be surprised. "I think she's an amazing person but I don't want any personal info about her!"Hey, you are reporting private facts. It is not our business that she is in Vegas for a private function.
So, why do you know about it - you said repeatedly that you are not interested in her private life.
-
No, because if you had described in detail what you mean by separating the personal from the professional life you would have realized how problematic that is.
-
pulling numbers out of your butt is counterproductive to discussion
but if you're really serious that people don't want any information about their favourite movie stars I fear I won't be able to change your mind
-
Yes. Just like the interaction with fans is.When she talks about her privacy, she isn't talking about movie premieres or work stuff. That stuff is a part of being an actress.
It should be obvious where the problem with "I want to have my face on movie screens across the globe but I don't want people to be interested in what's behind that face" lies. But then I'm saying this for about the 100th time, so maybe it isn't.She's talking about when she isn't working. When she's just hanging out somewhere or travelling abroad.
That's when she wants to be anonymous. That's why she avoids crowded places.
Her privacy as a movie star is not the same as her privacy as a human being.
This isn't about her career. It's about her life.
What Emma means but doesn't verbally say is "I don't want any uncontrolled intrusion into my privacy".
Which is ok Emma, no one likes that, whether they're in the movie business or not. Maybe at some point in the future she'll realize that there's a way to hold onto your basic dignity without alienating your well-intentioned fans. One part of that solution is to give insightful interviews. You don't get more stalkers because you gave some meaningful answers in an interview. You don't get more face recognition. You don't get swarmed in the streets because you had a conversation like an adult with a reporter from the NY Times. These things aren't connected, but she may not realize this right now. Right now she just wants to keep her head down, but that's not a satisfactory way of dealing with publicity in the long run.
-
well that's uhm... ridiculous. She said before that she has accepted the fact that public recognition comes with her work. That's right.and for people not to become interested
If she was entirely honest, it would seem she has made a really bad carreer choice. It's like saying I love being a CEO but I actually hate responsibility.
Luckily, I don't think she's entirely truthful. No one who values anonimity above all else would have attended an event like the launch of HP8 on Trafalgar Square.
This is not to say that I don't feel badly for her. If it's really stressful for her to be in the public eye, I am sorry. But I also think she really should change her rhetoric, from "I can't stand getting attention" to "getting attention isn't the top reason why I'm in this business".

I doubt that Hermione, Ila and the Tearling character are vastly different. There are only so many variations on the "young woman with mystical powers" theme.If her character is unique enough to be a departure from HP, then I don't see how it would be typecasting.
-
She seems to have changed her mind, yes, although not overnight. I thought she doesn't want to be typecast in general, but it seems she has no problems being a household name in the fantasy genre, if not in period drama. Maybe she likes playing empowered witches more than subdued housewifes in corsets with suppressed yearnings. ô.ôWhich might be what she's thinking, so when the project presented itself she thought "why not." She said after HP she wanted to avoid fantasy and franchises... but that was four years ago. And she did try new things. And now maybe she found she likes fantasy and wouldn't mind doing a franchise. That's cool.
-
She has them all lined up now though. Also I'm wondering, again, why someone would think that people would simply forget about HP (and that her roots are therefore in the fantasy genre) just because she's also done Bling Ring. That seems highly unlikely.Emma hasnt done a single fantasy movie or time period piece since Potter ended...Perks was 90's and very true to life. Bling Ring is a crime drama about real life teens, and Noah depending on your beliefs is not fantasy either since it is the Bible story.
-
And why would we not count the HP movies when we're trying to establish what genre she has the most affinity towards? That doesn't make sense; just like not counting the movies she has in the pipeline but haven't been produced yet. They're gonna happen, and if not it still shows Emma's predisposition in selecting these roles.First of all, I was talking about the movies after HP.
I was also talking about movies she's actually shot, which doesn't include Beauty or Tearling.
AFAIK it's based on a graphic novel that's clearly in the fantasy genre (fighter/mage/priest?)Also, Noah is a biblical epic. It has about as much fantasy as Ben-Hur or Passion of the Christ.
Arguably, HP will loom taller than those four. Which is probably the reason why she's stayed in this genre.Perks, Bling Ring, This Is The End, and Noah will be the movies that she'll be publicly associated with until at least 2015.
I wasn't talking about her abilities to act outside of the fantasy genre; that's not the point. If she was associated with period dramas, that also wouldn't mean that she's not flexible.If she chooses to work on projects that involve fantasy, it isn't because she's limited to that. She's already proven she can work in a variety of genres.
-
I have to correct the above number of non-fantasy movies to 4. Forgot Ballet Shoes (never seen that one). But I also counted Tearling as only 1 movie, so...
-
Pardon?You're ignoring every movie she's ever done after HP.
Beauty will be the first fantasy movie she stars in, assuming it even goes into production next year.
Movies in the fantasy genre (counting Noah, B&B, and Tearling): 11
Other genres (not counting cameos): 3
If she got into it willingly doesn't change the result much, I think. It's certainly not coincidence that she is still most widely known for her work in this genre; her way was partly pre-determined, and she probably did not foresee all that back when HP started.Also, how can she be pidgeonholed when she's the one who approached del Toro, and would only agree to do it if he directed?

Oh plz.Being young is always better, it leaves more options open.
And not knowing where to go is still better than realizing you have gone in the wrong direction.
When I was 20 I was very... idealistic, to put it mildly. In fact I can't quite comprehend all the crap I used to believe in/ dwell on. It's almost as if a veil has been lifted from my mind.
Youth is the age of energy. It's not the age of reason (isn't that the source of all poetry?). Though I wouldn't even say I've become much more reasonable; I've simply become calmer. Which is an advantage to me in a lot of situations. Among other things, now I can take every day as it comes. Enjoy myself for an hour, no matter what else is coming up or welling up inside my head.
The funny thing is, I even used to think about death more when I was younger, usually in one of these forms: "I'd rather die than [X]", "I would die for [Y]" and "I hope I don't die before [Z]".
I'm sure I'll miss being 20 once I'm old and senile enough to have forgotten all the downsides though.
Emma in Noah?

Yes, nice hair. Also looks pretty emaciated for a pregnant woman.
