Share to twitterEmily Blunt is in talks to play a deaf and blind woman, continuing the problems of disabled representation. In the disabled community there's a term:"cripping up." It's in reference to when an able-bodied person puts on the role of a person with disabilities. This has been the industry standard since Hollywood started and there's been little push to change that.
The saddest thing is that it'd be very easy to champion this film because of how rarely women with any perceived disability are represented on-screen. Nine times out of 10 these films feature white men. However, when white women are the focus they're often enduring"pretty" disabilities, i.e. deafness or blindness. Pretty in this sense implies that it doesn't alter their physical attractiveness.
This is the dumbest article I have ever read.
If you want a disabled person just get AOC
so they were supposed to find a deaf, blind paralyzed woman who also acts & takes direction well enough for a major motion picture? so by this theory, was it wrong that non-Nazis played SS members in Schindler's List? it's called ACTING for a reason, the world needs to get a grip
Only doctors should play doctors in the movies. It's unnaceptable to have folks impersonate surgeons.
Actors are paid to act. Implying they're not allowed to do their job is moronic. As long as the role is played respectfully, there is no issue with an actor, acting.
Is this Forbes or some random internet blog?
Forbes sounds like Vice now
I guess that Fantastic Four rumor is not materializing
