Gal Gadot isn't a bad actress anymore than JK Rowling is a bad writer. Like it or not, she is the definitive Wonder Woman. Shut up, yes she is. You can meme "Kal-El, no" all you want, but it's very telling that you have to mock that one throwaway line in isolation. That's all you have, because she gave an earnest and nuanced performance in the 2017 film that still holds up as the gold standard for portrayals of the character. In the same vein as "he's not Batman if you can't imagine him comforting a frightened child," she's not Wonder Woman if you can't imagine her fawning over a baby. Gadot perfectly embodied the combination of stoic regalness and warm compassion that is Diana. It was one of those iconic portrayals of a comicbook character that stick in my head on an almost subconscious level. Every time I read a Wonder Woman comic, I always hear her voice. She is to Wonder Woman what Mark Hamill is to the Joker and what Kevin Conroy was to Batman.

It has not escaped my notice that the numerous Gal Gadot "bad acting" compilations never show clips from the first Wonder Woman movie. It's always the aforementioned "Kal-El, no" line from the clunky mess that was Justice Leage, a scene of her yelling through a windshield at Pedro Pascal in the panned Wonder Woman sequel, a silly line from Death on the Nile and, most recently, clips from the notoriously awful Snow White remake.

Is she really a bad actor if you have to nitpick three throwaway lines from two bad movies and one movie no one watched? I know you didn't watch Death on the Nile. That clip was in the trailer. Are we really back to blaming actresses when a movie is bad? Have we learned nothing from Kristen Stewart?

You don't have to like her or ever support a movie with her in it again, but it is childish and reactionary to retroactively decide everything a problematic person ever did was garbage, even if it was near-universally praised at the time. Bad politics =/= bad acting/writing. You liked Harry Potter when you were ten, and you liked Wonder Woman when you saw it in 2017. I remember your tumblr posts.

Also, I'm probably not supposed to say this, but her politics aren't even that bad. She seems to be a very centre liberal two state solution type, always acknowledging Palestinians in her appeals to peace. She only served the IDF in a civilian capacity as a fitness instructor and has condemned their killing of Palestinian civilians. Bare minimum, for sure, but the fact that she's even acknowledging that these atrocities have taken place is more than what most Zionist-leaning celebrities are doing. It certainly landed her in some hot water in Israel, where even the mildest criticism of the IDF is viewed as basically treason.

I obviously don't agree with her politics as a member of team river to the sea, but she is decidedly NOT calling for genocide. We need to know who the actual enemies are and not waste our time barking up the wrong trees. You aren't being woke by screaming about problematic celebrities. You are being distracted.

sigh. alright. after 2 back to back soul-restoring movies in Cathy Yan and Christina Hodson's Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn and Dev Patel's Monkey Man, i feel like i'm ready for some pain. now seated for Wonder Woman 1984 (2020).

i've never seen it, i have never had any desire to, i heard it was really racist and maybe there's some non-con stuff here, but that's about all i know about it. i literally do not care about this movie, but i'm not going into it trying to hate it obviously, you all know i love art too much to do that. i am bracing for the worst (here's to hoping this is actually at least a movie unlike Suicide Squad (2016)? i can't do another Suicide Squad.) but i thought the first one was at least pretty entertaining and kind of well done (until the ending ruined every good thing about it) so here's to hoping this isn't entirely dogshit. if you're curious about my full thoughts on the first one, just look up Wonder Woman on my blog or like check my letterboxd, link in bio.

anyway, same disclaimers as last time apply: Free Palestine; for the duration of this watch, we will be pretending Gal Gadot is not who she is; no antisemitism will be tolerated. alright. let's fucking do this and get it over with so i can have some fun again after it with Gunn's The Suicide Squad.

Wonder Woman • Gal Gadot

Gal Gadot appears as Wonder Woman in the second of the DCEU films - Batman vs Superman (2016). The next year she starred in a Wonder Woman origin story directed by Patty Jenkins and Justice League. In 2020 she starred in her sequel set in 1984 and included the addition of the Invisible Jet. I like her uniform which is inspired by Wonder Woman’s design, but upgraded to looked like Grecian armor with a leather peplum. I have enjoyed Gadot’s version and I’m sorry James Gunn killed the next sequel.

سالها پیش شنیده بودم "شارلایز ترون" یک نقش‌آفرینی خیره کننده داشته است اما داستان فیلم برایم جذابیتی برای نگاه کردن باقی نمیگذاشت😅 تا اینکه دیشب از روی بی‌فیلمی و تا حدودی شانسی آن را دیدم

monster 2003

وااای عجب کاری در این فیلم کرده 🤯، نمیشود گفت بازی کرد یا حتی نقش‌آفرینی ، او خوده خوده "آیلین وورنوس" را بعد از خدا دوباره خلق کرده

Aileen Wuornos

این یعنی نه فقط در رفتار و کردار بلکه حتی در اندام

آنها که با اندام خانم ترون در فیلم هایش آشنا هستند🙈(من که نیستم) وقتی این سکانس را دیدن یا ببینن میفهمند او از همه چیز برای این خالقی مایه گذاشته

نه فقط از روح و روان بلکه تمام و کمال از جسم و جان

.

فقط من موندم این Celebrityهای حوزه هنرپیشگی و خوانندگی چه جادویی بلدن که میتوانند هیکل خود را در "مدت کم" بدین گونه بالا و پایین کنند ، نگاه کنید به عکس های ایشان در مراسم های دریافت جایزه‌اش بعد از فیلم😳ـ

آنچه گفتم را خانمهای ژن ایرانی بهتر میفهمند😅ـ

.

Patty Jenkins

یک آفرین بزرگ هم برای خانم "پتی جنکینس" برای آنکه جملاتی را از قول "آیلین وورنوس" در فیلم به بیننده انتقال داد که ارزش دیدن این فیلم را از نگاه "جهان‌بینی" ، برای آنانکه جور دیگری به دنی�� نگاه میکنند بالا برد

و داشتن همین ویژگی بود که باعث شد بعد از دیدن فیلم حس وقت‌تلف کنی نداشته باشم

ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ.ـ

جوایزه متعددی را خانم کارگردان و خانم هنرپیشه برای ساخت این برش از زندگی یک خانم رنج کشیده ، درو کردن

که سهم "شارلایز ترون" فوق‌العاده تر بود او در مجموع 28 جایزه معتبر بین‌المللی کسب کرد به عنوان مثال

76th Academy Awards

61st Golden Globe Awards

10th Screen Actors Guild Awards

اما در پایان یک سوال همیشگی ذهن مرا مشغول کرد که نتیجه‌اش این شد

هیولا "واقعا" کیست ؟

آیا راهروهای رسیدن به مکانی که در آن هستم را من انتخاب کردم یا ما ؟

اگر ما مسئولیم چرا پایان او را اینگونه بیرحمان رقم زدیم ؟

هیولا "حقیقتا" کیست ؟

END

پ،ن: برای این پُست در جستجوی عکس بودم که به این رسیدم

برایم به اندازه خوده فیلم جالب بود و حرف داشت

Film Review: Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

When 2017’s Wonder Woman directed by Patty Jenkins was released it was considered the lighter, more fun of the films in the DC Extended Cinematic Universe. It brought us this portrayal of a character that was full of optimism and hope. The latest release sees Jenkins return to direct the follow up, this time setting it in the brash and bold 1980’s.  After the poor performance of Tenet earlier…
