La Vie Not Rose

Most of the times I see #MargotRobbie I think a lot about how she is my age and how she looks a bit older, which is shallow and dumb. But I want to point out the following: she is incredibly talented, not only in her craft as an actress👩🏼 but also as a creator and business women. In a time where Natalie Portman has to wear a cape at the #Oscars to remind the world about women not being recognised enough, Margot, is also doing it by making and producing movies that open a very exciting path for future entertainment fellows.

She’s in a film, that I read as “yes, we are all victims, even if we don’t look like one, because actually all women have been one” and in another one, where is really, really clear – and without the fuzz of Captain Marvel – that , “yes, women can absolutely carry an action film, in group and it doesn’t feel forced AT ALL”. In #Bombshell, she has the most difficult and violent scene, one that makes everyone uncomfortable, because, how have we been living for centuries thinking that is normal? You feel her struggle, guilt and fear 😖.

Her latest, #BirdsOfPrey (where she produces also), is fun, with sparks, jokes, lots of broken bones and bleeding noses everywhere aaaand you don’t miss your typical misterious super macho superheroes, because in all levels, #HarleyQuinn and co. are as misterious, cool, fast, strong and intelligent as mmm, Batman (the sad Ben Affleck one doesnt count hehe).

In fact they have always been, but have we seen it on a big budget film where there is no “romantic interest” or a male superhero storyline above it ? You may think of this film as just very well shot or written, but not relevant, but really, a whole female ensemble leading an action film is not common (what you can think of ? Spice Girls World?) I mean #Joker was cool, but did we need a 3rd version of him ? Can’t wait for Margot to reboot Sucker Punch, or do a #SailorMoon or something 🙃. #GoMargotGo
