“I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream. I know you, the gleam in your eyes is so familiar a gleam. Yet I know it’s true, that visions are seldom all they seem… but if I know you, I know what you’ll do: you’ll love me at once, the way you did once upon a dream.”   Sleeping Beauty (1959)

Tom Hardy Vs. Dumb Journalist

Dumb Journalist: When you were reading the script, did you ever think, why are all these women in here, I thought this was supposed to be a man’s movie?

Tom Hardy: No. Not for one minute.

Peter Howell, the Toronto Star film critic who asked the dumb question tried to defend himself by sending this statement in to Buzzfeed:

“My question to Tom Hardy was intended as the opposite of sexism. I was congratulating him for his willingness to share the screen with so many strong women in a franchise and genre more inclined to celebrate the male over the female. He was also willing to be in a co-lead role with Charlize Theron, in a movie called MAD MAX, no less. I think a lot of male stars might have objected to this, but Hardy is of a special breed.”

OH WE UNDERSTAND NOW, YOU’RE JUST CONGRATULATING HIM FOR HIS WILLINGNESS TO SHARE THE SCREEN WITH WOMEN. THAT’S LIKE, TOTALLY THE OPPOSITE OF SEXISM.
