JAMES CAMERON SPOKE WITH THE GUARDIAN AND SAID HE FELT
LIKE WONDER WOMAN WAS A STEP BACK FOR WOMEN.
PATTY JENKINS THE DIRECTOR RETORTS, STAY IN YOUR LANE.
THIS IS WHAT WENT DOWN.
THIS IS THE QUOTE FROM JAMES CAMERON.
NOW, HE IS OF COURSE REFERRING TO THE BELOVED CHARACTER SARAH,
FROM THE TERMINATOR FRANCHISE, ONE OF MY FIRST GIRL CRUSHES.
SHE IS BAD ASS, LET'S NOT TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM HER.
THIS IS WHAT PATTY JENKINS SAID, SHE RESPONDED
ON TWITTER.
SHE
IS BASICALLY SAYING DON'T REDUCE WONDER WOMAN TO HER
LOOKS ALONE AND WHETHER OR NOT SHE SHOULD BE TAKEN
SERIOUSLY BASED ON THAT.
DID YOU AGREE WITH WHAT JAMES CAME IN SATURDAY THINK HE
WAS STEPPING OUT OF HIS LANE HERE?
IT WOULD BE EASIER TO TAKE WHAT JAMES CAMERON SAID SERIOUSLY
IF IT WASN'T PARAPHRASED AS BUT WHAT I DID WAS GOOD.
LOOK AT MY THING.
IF HE MENTIONED SOMETHING ELSE IN CINEMA BESIDES HIS OWN
CREATION ESSENTIALLY THEN I WOULD BE ABLE TO LOOK WITH
MORE IMPARTIALITY ABOUT THIS.
THAT IS WHAT KIND OF TAKES IT DOWN FOR ME.
IS A LITTLE STRANGE THAT HE DOESN'T SEE THAT SARAH
CONNOR IS ABOUT US AND SO AS WONDER WOMAN.
THEIR PRESENTATION OUTWARDLY AND THE STRUGGLES THAT THEY
BOTH WENT THROUGH AND HOW IT WAS PRETRADE, THEY ARE NOT
MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.
YOU CAN BOTH BE BAD ASS WOMEN IN THIS WORLD.
THAT PLURALISM IS ACTUALLY WHAT I THINK MAKES BOTH MOVIES GREAT.
YOU CAN SEE ALL THE WONDERFUL REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN
ALTHOUGH SHOUT OUT TO HIM LIKING THE MOVIE MONSTER BECAUSE
THAT WAS ABOUT EILEEN WUORNOS AND IT WAS AN AWESOME
MOVIE.
THOUGHTS ON THIS?
I STOPPED LISTENING WHEN HE SAID STEP BACK FOR WOMEN.
WOMEN ARE NOT A MONOLITH.
THERE MANY WOMEN.
WHEN YOU SAY ONE WOMAN SETS WOMEN BACK.
POLICIES ARE SETTING WOMEN BACK, NOT MOVIES.
NOT WONDER WOMAN.
THAT WAS JUST IGNORANT.
I THINK IT'S ALSO IGNORANT TO SAY THAT SOMEHOW SARAH
CONNOR'S GREAT ALLOWED HER ACCESS INTO APPROPRIATE
WOMANHOOD AND SOMEHOW WONDER WOMAN'S ATTRACTIVENESS
SOMEHOW DISTANCES HER FROM AN TYPE OF APPROPRIATE WOMANHOOD
AND HER BEING A HEROINE AND I THINK IT IS NOT NOT
HAVING WONDER WOMAN, IT IS HAVING WONDER WOMAN, SARAH
CONNOR, HAVING A WIDE RANGE OF REPRESENTATION OF DIFFERENT
WOMEN BECAUSE AGAIN, THERE ARE MULTIPLE WOMEN, THAT WOMEN
CAN LOOK AND RELATE TO.
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THAT'S NOT REALLY WHAT HE WAS GRASPING.
WE ACTUALLY DO NEED BOTH TO SERVE THE BEST INTEREST OF
FURTHERING PROGRESS.
WE NEED EVERY ONE FOR THE REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN.
HONESTLY PEOPLE ARE SAYING PATTY JENKINS CLAPPED
BACK BECAUSE IT WAS CLICK BAIT BUT REALLY SHE WAS SAYING NO,
WE NEED EVERYTHING AND LET'S PASS THE MIC, JAMES CAMERON.
THERE'S A SEGMENT OF THE MOVIE WHERE THERE WAS NO
MEN WHICH WAS MY FAVORITE PART.
MINE TOO.
A GROUP OF WOMEN EXISTING OUTSIDE OF THE MEN GAZE AND MEN
IN GENERAL.
DID YOU WATCH THE MOVIE?
THE MOVIE IS NOT THAT GOOD.
IT'S BETTER THAN SUICIDE SQUAD.
EVERYTHING IS.
THAT'S THE THING.
I DON'T KNOW.
IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT WHAT A BIG HIT THE MOVIE WONDER
WOMAN IS, THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY, LIKE, SUICIDE
SQUAD WAS A HIT AND IT WAS TERRIBLE.
HOW MUCH MONEY IT MAKES ISN'T A GOOD SCALE FOR THAT.
I WILL SAY THAT, AND I FEEL LIKE THEY MADE IN WONDER WOMAN
WAS HAVING SUPER CHARMING AND IMPOSSIBLY ATTRACTIVE GAL GADOT
ALONGSIDE SUPER CHARMING AND IMPOSSIBLY
ATTRACTIVE CHRIS PINE.
I DON'T THINK WONDER WOMAN, IF YOU GO BACK AND WATCH THAT
MOVIE WHERE THE BAD GUY JUST KIND OF COMES OUT OF
NOWHERE, YOU ARE GOING TO SEE THIS TRIUMPHANT FEMINISM AS
MUCH, BUT I DO THINK THAT JAMES CAMERON IS WRONG IN SAYING
YOU CAN ONLY ESSENTIALLY WENT WITH FEMINISM BY HAVING
SOMEONE LIKE SARAH CONNOR.
I THINK THERE, I JUST DON'T THINK WONDER WOMAN IS AS
MUCH ABOUT FEMINIST TRIUMPH AS PEOPLE WOULD SAY.
THE ARGUMENT, MINE AT LEAST, IS NOT ABOUT IT BEING A FEMINIST
TRIUMPH.
IT WAS A GOOD MOVIE THAT HAD A WOMAN AS A LEAD.
THEY NEED TO DO MORE OF THOSE.
I THINK BECAUSE THE ONLY ONE WE WANT TO PUT IN THIS POSITION
WHAT ARE THE FEMINIST OVERTONE START TO MUCH PRESSURE.
