I don't understand why Blake is using It ends with us, to promote her new hair brand. Justin is at least being serious and spreading awareness about domestic violence which the book is about
Not even that she’s using the movie to promote her alcohol brand (like what this is a movie about domestic violence) they did two events mixing both things “it ends with us” and Betty booze her brand. They did the after party for it ends with us making drinks based off the characters names and an event called Betty bloom, honestly so wild
I wonder if Baldoni began distancing himself from the project once the author, film studio and Blake's husband started getting more involved. Perhaps he felt like it wasn't his project anymore.
I honest to god believe justin isn't that morally sound. In comparision to the hollycouple, sure ,but my Unpopular opinion is why was this man going around for 2 yrs trying to make a movie out of a book that glamorizes ab*se!?! Evn with so many women raising alarm about the books impact on impressionable mind ever since. It seems he is now trying to do damage control or play silent victim ,and lucky for him both idiots blake and ryan are making it easy for him. The book is the problem in the first place. Wouldn't that mean justin was as tone deaf as blake.
I think his vision was very different from theirs. They wanted to make it a romcom. He wanted to make it about domestic violence. The author chose to go where the money was.
@@Oceangrace90 are you part of Blakes PR team. Because right now everyone is hating on her for the way she’s treated him and how she’s glorifying herself and not domestic violence.
It's giving petty passive-aggressive mean girls energy. I can not understand how Blake claims to be a "feminist" yet does nothing to promote the DV seriousness of this movie.... Instead, she's making sound like a romantic story, making the press tour it a fashion moment and promoting her brands. I mean, there are other ways to tie in the brands, like giving a portion of the proceeds to DV organizations. The possibilities are endless, but what she's doing is not it.
She’s NOT A FEMINIST.. SHE ATTACKED CATHERINE ONLINE AND SHOWED US WHO SHE IS.. Blake is a nasty, vile pathetic woman.. who attacks a woman with CANCER and Catherine is LOVED WORLDWIDE.. UNLIKE THIS PIECE OF CRAP..

Feel bad for Justin, the way they are excluding & treating him isn't cool at all! And Blake just looks bad in all of this overall with all this feud/drama!
Justin is the director and the lead actor plus he put so much effort into this from the very beginning if it wasnt for him this movie would never have been made !!!! 😢😢 thats really unfair!
I have a feeling that Baldoni wanted to take the movie in a serious light but Blake and the author wanted to take it more in a Twilight route, glossing over the seriousness. But I’m not sure, I haven’t seen the movie.
This is what im getting also. I think blake team's wanted to turn it into a romcom. Because justin is passionate about shedding light on DV. Its just so sad if this is the case, he casted the wrong lead 😢

Let’s get one thing straight Blake did not have the power to fire Justin. The author did not have the power to fire justin. Justin is the Director and Blake is nothing more than egotistical producer who was overstepping boundaries over and over and over again. She clearly tried to make this whole movie and the promotion of the movie her own Blake lively show and it’s despicable because it’s overshadowing the true message of this movie. If you enjoy this movie and you respect the message it is trying to give you then you can directly thank Justin. if it was up to Blake, the movie would be just like the promotion, another RomCom with no depth and no meaning.
Agree to disagree. My hunch is Blake and the author intend to sucker-punch the audience with their promotion style. No way actors snd producers dont care about their movies its all their time and sleep and heart. This is just two adults at work being passionate about a project. When visions differ somebody has to give in that feeling sucks but nothing worth disparaging the other about
Let's not forget her greedy husband "hijacking" it along with her when he was in no way a part of the production, the casting,or the directing! Just another Hollywood "power-hungry" control freak.
The fact that Blake's camp is now trying to claim that Justin fat-shamed her because he asked his personal trainer if he was allowed to lift her for a scene and how he could spare is back (he has herniated disks and even received stem cell-therapy for the constant pain) is just so vile! And of course also 'his kiss lingered too long" while there also is proof from the set that SHE was telling him how to hold and kiss her before a kissing scene with the intimicay counsellors around them. Rumor has it that Blake and her husband want the rights of the book series to make their own sequels...
That is so nauseating. Heard about the "fat-shaming". HER issues, not his. The guy has a legitimate physical health constraint. If you watch his videos, he and his wife are very healthy and into exercise with their family. He takes very good care of himself. The fact that he was literally controlled during every scene (particularly the physical ones) makes me feel for him even more. He was the director! The author should be ashamed for choosing celebrity over integrity...along with the other co-stars. I think Blake (and Ryan) revealed some true colors. They will be "has beens" in a year or two, and decent REAL people like Justin Baldoni will rise again. He is a very skilled actor/director. He will come out on top.
Justin optioned the book in 2019 already for it to be made by his production company, and he got to be the director but Blake cut out and took over with her husband and removed a bunch of scenes and edited the script without even telling anyone
If that’s what happened , It really showed in the movie . The movie did not live up to the book . It lacked so much depth . A lot of important scenes from the book were not seen in the movie
Everything is coming back on Blake and she absolutely deserves it! Im glad ppl are finally seeing what those of us in the industry haveknown for years. She is honestly worse than you can imagine.
Unpopular opinion, but reading the book, I could never imagine Blake as Lily. She shouldn't be in this movie to begin with! Now she is treating the movie like it's the Barbie movie and doesn't use her huge platform to talk about DV!
I agree! Lily in the book is way younger, and it makes sense. A younger woman with no experience is easier to manipulate. Blake doesn't look 23yo lol Someone like Elle Fanning would have been more approppriate.
Huge problem not saying an actress has to have experience with DV to promote the film, but she was definitely miscast , an actress like Melissa Benoist (who is an actual DV victim) would have been much better!
I'm also getting mean girl vibes. I think Blake and Ryan have a lot of power and persuasion with in the industry and it looks like she took over and made everyone against him as well for not agreeing with her... I mean it's a guess but still.
Finally people are realising that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds just buy their roles to stay famous. They come from money and have no talent. They are like Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt...
@@charityrocksSo women are beyond reproach? While women do get disproportionately more flak in our culture, it doesn’t mean individual women can’t be aggressors, bullies or controlling. This is especially the true the more power and fame you have. So get off your high horse.
I will stan JB because i have a feeling that Blake just wanted to take over the whole thing and make it about her along with her husband. We see that happening. Not looking forward to this movie, Collen's books glorifies Toxic stuff
I’m so glad to see like minded comments on here! I’ve watched so many clips of interviews with both Blake and Justin. EVERY interview Blake’s done is absolutely silly….and does not reflect what this book/movie is about. I did read the book and I was in a 22 year relationship that was abusive. I definitely would have watched the movie but just Can’t now after seeing how she is being so flippant about this movie. On the other hand Justin talks seriously about it in each of his interviews. And….he doesn’t try to promote a hair care line.
I feel like the reason why the author and the rest of the cast seem to be “siding” with her is because she’s the bigger star.. like if they go against her and side with the director, they might get attacked in the tabloids too. Major queen bee vibes.
I couldn't label Blake as unproblematic. I have just watched some of her latest interviews, including the famous Kjersti Flaa interview. Beyond disturbing.
Something is definitely shady. Not to see the director and main character promote the movie together?? Very weird. Is it that Blake Lively was too dominant and wanted to have control over the directing too? She seems to come out of this too controlling and frankly bitchy.
Es como si me dijeras que es una película de Oj Simpson de los 90s cuando su esposa sufrió VD y esta Blake Lively es protagonista y habla de flores shampoos y vestido de Britney Spears y que es la pinky friend de La Swiftie y es la esposa de Deadpool.... Que locura!!!
It’s crazy how even the Author is with Blake like seriously she wrote the whole book based on the main plot that is DV and she goes with Blake never reading her books again
He clearly got pushed out of his own project. Even if Blake wanted to take over creative control. She could have found a way to still included Baldoni in the inner circle, instead she seemed to turn others against him. Also, I don't see where he was officially "fired", so I call incorrect click bait on your title.
I totally agree that he was pushed out! Although it was announced that he was fired from doing the next movie as Blake and Ryan will take over with their production company. It seems like they have different visions for he project and better relationship with the author
It's off-putting to witness the current situation between Justin and Blake. Their mutual respect and professionalism are essential, especially considering the significance of adapting the book and its characters for the cinematic experience. The ongoing disputes are not only unprofessional but also detrimental to the project’s integrity and success.
Colleen Hoover romanticizes and glorifies abuse in her books. They 100% are risking the films integrity but neither Colleen or the actors cared about the actual message of the book.
I missed seeing Justin Baldoni at the opening with others from the film. I love him as an actor and I hope that whatever is going on, will get straightened out. I'd love to see the book "It Starts With Us" made into a film also. How sad that since Justin has been trying to make this movie for 4 years now and he's being pushed out. Stop ruining this movie, I haven't even seen it yet and now I need to forget all this BS, before I get the chance to enjoy this movie. (from Sandi)
Bad writers don’t research. When building a character, you have to develop their back story, and knowing how long doctors train to surgical levels would have taken 2 minute on Google. Lazy.
All her writing is lazy. As an avid reader who will usually read a few books before judging an author, you have no idea how disappointed I was reading something so loved and hyped to find out a couple of pages in she had a neurosurgeon aged unbelievably young and it only got worse from there. It was readable, it was OK, but it was blown up into something online that didn't exist in the pages. And even with my severe ADHD I know I would have put more effort in. I get a lot of people like easy reads that are a little more basic, but it almost felt like I was being spoon fed a concept that I was far more capable of understanding than the writing allowed, almost like reading a 'for dummies' book for a subject you are knowledgeable in. But I still can't help but feel it's almost insulting to the average reader too. I feel like chatgpt would have done better.
I feel like the issue is that Blake has always wanted to be bigger than she is. She's not a great actress her acting skills have literally been the exact same. I've seen people talk about how her acting Scott and better it hasn't watch her and gossip girl watch her in the Green lantern and watch her in any other movie that she had done afterwards and she does the exact same thing. I feel like what she's good at is really just being pretty and being married to a very likeable man. Which is where I feel like the issue comes in when it comes to her. She sees the things that her husband does and how beloved Ryan is how he can sit there and not only be in movies and shows that people genuinely like and his personality is very shining even if there are questionable shit that both of them have definitely done. but he's also charismatic enough that he was able to sit there and convince a company that didn't want to come out with a movie to not only come out with movie but allow him to come out with sequels to that movie and be the one of the main producers and directors if I'm correct and it's blowing up and has done nothing but greatness for her husband and for her technically cuz they're both making Bank off of the entire Deadpool franchise. That I feel like she now wants to do that. From every video that I have watched about this from every tik Tok that I've seen it genuinely comes off as if she tried to just take over the entire project and when that didn't work she decided to go on a smear campaign against this man. Like I find it ironic that people have pointed out that this is someone who has talked about DV and promoted people getting help for it for about 10 or so years like almost a decade this is someone who's always taking their craft very seriously and who seems to be the only person genuinely talking about what the movie is about in terms of the DV in it how people can get help talking about questions he wishes people would stop asking or once you wish people would ask like he seems to be the only one taking any of this seriously which is ironic dealing that even the author seems to be like la di da di da. Then again I've never read any of her books mainly because I've never heard of one good thing about that woman either or her son so... Cast members and people not really talking about it. I feel like that makes sense because are you really going to try and go up against Blake and her husband Ryan who have their hands in like every freaking little thing it seems in Hollywood who are super popular if they what are companies / franchises you would consider them to be the Disney of their world not only from the movies and TV shows that they've been a part of things that they've produced let's not forget about the liquor brands the hair brand now the phone service like they have so many things under their belt which means that they probably have so many people in so many high places and all over the place when it comes to not just the entertainment industry that it wouldn't be hard for them to convince others who are working with them to take their side or to say Jack schitt about anything. She definitely gives off mean girl vibes like if things don't go her way she will legitimately be like well if you don't do this I will ruin your life. I'm dealing that I don't think I've ever seen her work with people who are within the same celebrity status as her like ever really she always seems to work with people who are below her and celebrity status making it easier for her to use that or hold that over their heads.
Apparently due to the Colleen Hoover scandal, she lost so much popularity that she quickly decided to make the movie before her empire crashed. She needed a lot of budget and Blake and Ryan basically took control in exchange for money. That is the only reason why Blake was cast. She bought the part. Everyone wanted Abygail Cowen but she is not rich enough 😢
Blake's PR team is in full force. Blake Lively is a bully. Justin did not fat shame her he asked someone else how much she weighed because he has back problems. She just wanted to take over and credit from Justin. Cancel Blake Lively!
Not releasing Blake from her responsibility in this, but I have the feeling that Ryan was jealous of Justin (kissing scene etc) and I feel that he has a lot to do with the falling out between the two. How rude both behaving in this entire situation, cutting off the director of the movie. Justin is the ONLY one who takes the heavy topic seriously.
So glad everyone is seeing what I am seeing. I think JB has done immense work in getting this movie made and as someone who has seen this, I thought it was a beautiful film. I agree with his sentiments that there are better actresses for a sequel and Blake is better placed as a director rather than the lead actress, definitely her drama takes away from the serious issues this movie addresses which only women suffering real life domestic abuse can understand. It's like holding onto anything that shows what real abuse is like, you feel like no one in the world can see or believe you because your partner appears so beautiful on the outside when he is a monster on the inside!! Blake and her husband who has nothing to do with anything should not be using this serious topic to promote themselves!!! Sad and pathetic.
Well Justin seems pretty true to himself and his fans. Blake even sounds so out of body and confused when she speaks.. maybe she probably realizes it's not cool what she's doing to him either.
What no one knows is that the author says this and that about women but she had a girl message her about her son SA the girl and the author ignored her….the author didn’t say nothing for years later disclaimed she hadn’t read the messages but the girl showed proof the author indeed read her messages. That’s when I stop reading her books. Sadly is too late! look her books are becoming movies she is a millionaire, even if she had a down fall she already made that dough! Also don’t ask me well where is the proof! Just go look for it! Is a known thing.
@@akcedenorshe made a remark abouy Catherine then had to back pedal when it was announced Catherine had cancer.......there's only one princess.....and it ain't you Blake......mean girls is more your thing!!
Blake and the author are both marketing off this premiere’s interviews. Blake has her hair care line and beverage business and has mentioned both in interviews (inappropriately), and the author is selling paraphernalia attached to the movie and book. I suspect the cast was pressured and/or bullied into picking sides, and since the Blake/Colleen side can do much more for their careers, of course they’d choose that side. But Justin is a gem of a man in every interview and gives the domestic violence topic the due it deserves. I feel badly that his project for hijacked by Blake and her husband. Mean girl vibes for sure.
I never thought Blake lively would behave this bad to ruin a movie she acts in.....domestic violence is a serious topic that cannot be romantized. Baldoni was giving the importance DV deserves..amd as much as i like ryan and blake...it ia very rude and offensive that ryan was messing with the script. Ryan should respect the director vision and blake's acting.
Important context about Ryan Reynolds rewriting a scene: During the writer's strike all scripts were supposed to be locked with no edits occurring. And given the timeline of the movie, Ryan would have had to rewritten the scene during the strike, which is not only dishonest and disrespectful to the actual screenplay writer but to all the writers fighting for their jobs
Pretty sure lively is attracted to him but doesn’t want to be. Probably Ryan’s a little jealous and they haven’t been around each other a lot. You add opinions of artistry in there I think it’s her
Even bad publicity is good publicity. If two adults have creative differences it is okay. If they approach the story from different angles, it might be just that. I personally believe that domestic violence should be taken seriously, but, maybe they are counting on the surprise effect so that people will watch it and think about it. What I would reflect on is the amount of hate towards a woman on her postpartum and the silent treatment towards a dedicated director. Both are wrong.
We could’ve had a movie that could’ve successfully show and help those in DV navigate their own journeys…. Instead we got screwed over by one of our own.
Why would anyone want to get involved with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds? Those people live in their own world and they think that they can screw around with everything including the script-that nobody knew about. They need their own projects, there is no working with people that think only this option matters
How fast things change... just last weekend this movie was the toast of the town. Now anything about it is being completely eclipsed by the drama behind the scenes.
Blake needs to stop promoting her shit,Ryan should've never even been promoting it like it was his movie or fcking Deadpool,not every movie needs the actors to make it a fun time,it's nonsense. Justin is being throw under the bus with this whole situation when he's the one actually taking the topics seriously.
I thought it was good movie until the latter part of the movie when it started to get choppy. I was really incredulous when the ending suggested that she ended up with Atlas - she had zero chemistry with him. I imagine the sequel will be Dullsville if it focuses on their relationship.
He portrayed it perfectly!! This movie showed the conditioning that takes place and how easily it is to not know the truth of the abuse for the victim. I hope they reconcile their differences because this movie very well portrayed what i experienced and good never understand and blamed myself for many many years. Thank you to the entire cast, director and writer.
Reports of Baldoni's alleged behavior surfaced Aug. 9, when the Daily Mail published a report alleging Baldoni was "chauvinistic" and "borderline abusive" on the set of It Ends with Us. The same day, Page Six reported Baldoni created an “extremely difficult” atmosphere behind the scenes for the entire cast. Why does everyone give him the benefit of doubt but not everyone else ? I love Justin Baldoni but even I think it’s very weird that everyone from the cast want nothing to do with him, even the other men. Maybe his behaviour was really awful during the production.
I thought he was fantastic. I didn't know he was/is a sportman before this. In fact, I was wondering how come I had never heard of this incredible actor before this movie. He doesn't have the usual handsome face of a leading actor but man, he was crackling on every scene. I think he has the X factor on film.
That's why women stay, because they will make themselves so perfect for their victims until it happens.. again. He definitely had a vision and people took advantage of him. He seems like such a good guy. I hope to see more of his work
I Ryan and Blake did shows that they lacked respect for Justin. Now, I would question maybe Justin deserves it because maybe his view was poor but now seeing that he is only taking it seriously…we also see Ryan and Blake are narcissistic but rewriting and not telling Justin. They took over basically and it was disrespectful. The director is the boss…..😂 Ryan and Blake would never do that to Christopher Nolan or James Cameron . 100% Those directors will kick you out if Hollywood.,.not even Blake and Ryan would save safe if they disrespected a high up like that. Justin is new and doesn’t have the power so they felt comfortable making this “their” movie. Entitled brats. Also, I always question Blake as s person because she is so close to Taylor swift who is s know narcissist. Girl had no shame. Birds of a feather flock together. So now that it’s confirmed that Blake is an entitled b*** too….now we must question Ryan for being into a narcissist like that.
I wonder if Ryan felt insecure about the intimacy between Justin and Blake. So her pushed himself into the film. I don't know that I will see the movie since I am a DV and child abuse survivor.
Sorry, but who cares what she WEARS?! It’s literally HER thing and nothing that is of ANY interest whatsoever. Leave her alone. She looks great, you don’t have to wear it. I am not sure what’s going on, but it’s all just speculation. It seems like he had any has the best intentions, he should be respected for his work and I fino it unfortunate that his cut, which had the best votes, was not chosen after all.
5:22 Jenny’s answer surprised me. Not one complimentary word for the Director who most likely had a say on hiring her for this movie. What she did say though was short sighted. At the time no one knew all that we know today so her words are loaded with critique to Justin should stick with Directing or acting but not both 🙄 Tell that to other Director’s who starred as main character. I googled this info. There’s Barbara Streisand, Clint Eastwood, Danny Devito, Ben Affleck, Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, Kevin Costner, Joel Edgerton, John Krasinski and Justin Baldini who I think did terrific acting and the Directing was good bc I walked into that movie only knowing that it was adapted from a book. I knew zilch of what it was about. I really really really liked it. It was an incredibly moving movie. For Jenny and the cast side with Blake loudly in public meant to ostracize Justin in public is disgraceful. Especially if it’s in fact about Blake felling fat shamed by Justin or that he kissed too long in a kiss. Singular kiss, not plural. These are things that are worked out amongst professionals and you move on, not creating drama and cliques like defensive bullies do. It’s too bad that the PR has gone south bc this might dissuade ppl from wanting to watch an otherwise, a good movie with a much needed message to those of us who have suffered DV.
I don’t know - something super weird is going on - for some reason I don’t feel like balding did anything 🤷🏼♀️ I get this sense Blake is having a huge ego trip for some reason
I won’t watch this movie because of Blake Lively’s and Parker Posey’s rude interview. Dear Ms. Lively and Ms. Posey: your mean girl interview will keep me from spending one thin dime on your little movie. Blake-are you planning on more reconstructive surgeries to improve your looks? You should definitely give that some more thought to that. Maybe they can whittle down that really big ego.
Narcissism, inferiority complexities, emotional instability and jealousy on top of the usual competitiveness of these top players, has got to be maddeningly overwhelming. Unbearable for some. Blake and Brandon are both perfect 10s, each very talented and I presume fairly wealthy, etc. (Reynolds & Lively, for sure. I've just now "met" Brandon, hence, my uncertainty). Who really knows the entirety of what's going on with this entire production. Ryan having actually written some of the dialogue, (after filming began, it sounds like), could 100% be the primary instigating factor of all of this tumult. But, no one, save those involved, really knows the goings on, "... behind closed doors." You know the age old expression. It's as true now as it was at the first utterance. Also, Blake was not acting professional or respectful, at all, at that notorious interview, where Parker Posey also appeared. Anything to do with her? The typical, overt snobbery of the elite. I'm somewhat disappointed, as Blake is my closest, celebrity doppelganger. Ha. If only it were readily apparent. Peace ☮️
im not defending Blake but if she's terrible then why did all of the supporting cast members unfollowed Justin and not Blake on Instagram. I feel like we dont know the full story and im just curious.
I feel sorry for the main actor of her last film Justin Baldoni who is the director of the film and holds the rights to adapt the book to the cinema. She acts he doesn't exist in a very disrespectfully and unprofessional way. He shows the reality of the film and speaks out against domestic violence very accurately. Very disrespectful for this actress who wanted to take over his film he has been working for years. He talks about domestic violence, she's more about selling the film like Barbie with flowers and selling the beverage products and hair products along with the film's premiere. And the book writer selling nail polish and coloring books. He is a class act, mature with high emotional inteligence. His interviews of the film are the best.
I personally loved the movie and the message and the acting. I saw all the bts drama but I think people are just focusing too much on Blake’s choices and missing the best part of it all: the message. I do like to play the devils advocate sometimes because just as in the movie, real life is way more complicated for the person living it than to the ones judging from outside. So I rather focus on facts and actual important things that matter to me as a person stead of just gossip and the famous “she said he said”. But that’s me.
I don't understand why Blake is using It ends with us, to promote her new hair brand. Justin is at least being serious and spreading awareness about domestic violence which the book is about
Not even that she’s using the movie to promote her alcohol brand (like what this is a movie about domestic violence) they did two events mixing both things “it ends with us” and Betty booze her brand.

That's why they call it Hollyweird lol
this!
@@AmyVasquez37plus it was weirdly mixed with new Deadpool movie …
The movie is about more than domestic violence. It's also about a strong woman who overcomes it to find true love.
I wonder if Baldoni began distancing himself from the project once the author, film studio and Blake's husband started getting more involved. Perhaps he felt like it wasn't his project anymore.
I honest to god believe justin isn't that morally sound.

It's easy, Blake is a liar who hates women. This is a pattern for her and I'm so glad she's being outed for it.
You've got it exactly right. Its about domestic violence, not her hair, not her rings or shoes. The whole thing is weird.
She’s NOT A FEMINIST.. SHE ATTACKED CATHERINE ONLINE AND SHOWED US WHO SHE IS.. Blake is a nasty, vile pathetic woman.. who attacks a woman with CANCER and Catherine is LOVED WORLDWIDE.. UNLIKE THIS PIECE OF CRAP..

Feel bad for Justin, the way they are excluding & treating him isn't cool at all! And Blake just looks bad in all of this overall with all this feud/drama!
Justin is the director and the lead actor plus he put so much effort into this from the very beginning if it wasnt for him this movie would never have been made !!!! 😢😢 thats really unfair!
And he owns the right to the films since 2019. Blake can't fire him if she wants to work again in the film
💯% agree! And it's time to give someone new a chance. I feel bad, the poor guy got the shaft. Hope people will open their eyes up after this stunt.
I have a feeling that Baldoni wanted to take the movie in a serious light but Blake and the author wanted to take it more in a Twilight route, glossing over the seriousness. But I’m not sure, I haven’t seen the movie.
Twilight mentioned!! I’m kidding 😂
It gives a Blake lively vibe for sure.
Dont forget her cuck husband Ryan being involved in rewrites on certain scenes 🥴
This is what im getting also. I think blake team's wanted to turn it into a romcom. Because justin is passionate about shedding light on DV. Its just so sad if this is the case, he casted the wrong lead 😢
Y’all forget that the author wrote this book based on her own experience with DV. Why would she want to take it lightly? This seems so backwards.
Finally we're seeing what Blake and Ryan are really like.
YEP!!!! I saw the truth of who Ryan truly was when he broke up with Alanis Morrissette and disliked him ever since.
@@myafelicia wow lol i guess all the good deeds he's done for cancer and other charitable causes must make you hate him even more.
@@stewarts8597 He and million others, including yours truly, do charity. That has nothing to do with his perceived personality. Don't you try to guilt-trip someone just because they don't like a person. Says a lot about you and not about me. Like no one outside of my family and friends would care that I'm facing my 4th chemo this year after last year's debacle. But go on, say some more.
@@myafelicia "Perceived" Thats what i call assuming. Have you met them? have you spent anytime with them? How can you judge a person based on heresy? I don't know you except through this text and I'm not going to judge you anyway. we have our opinions but at least base those opinions on first hand knowledge. Just saying
@rosedelux4673 👌 You're being extremely polite. 1000% Well said.
Let’s get one thing straight Blake did not have the power to fire Justin. The author did not have the power to fire justin. Justin is the Director and Blake is nothing more than egotistical producer who was overstepping boundaries over and over and over again. She clearly tried to make this whole movie and the promotion of the movie her own Blake lively show and it’s despicable because it’s overshadowing the true message of this movie. If you enjoy this movie and you respect the message it is trying to give you then you can directly thank Justin. if it was up to Blake, the movie would be just like the promotion, another RomCom with no depth and no meaning.
Agree to disagree. My hunch is Blake and the author intend to sucker-punch the audience with their promotion style. No way actors snd producers dont care about their movies its all their time and sleep and heart. This is just two adults at work being passionate about a project. When visions differ somebody has to give in that feeling sucks but nothing worth disparaging the other about
Let's not forget her greedy husband "hijacking" it along with her when he was in no way a part of the production, the casting,or the directing! Just another Hollywood "power-hungry" control freak.
The fact that Blake's camp is now trying to claim that Justin fat-shamed her because he asked his personal trainer if he was allowed to lift her for a scene and how he could spare is back (he has herniated disks and even received stem cell-therapy for the constant pain) is just so vile! And of course also 'his kiss lingered too long" while there also is proof from the set that SHE was telling him how to hold and kiss her before a kissing scene with the intimicay counsellors around them.
Rumor has it that Blake and her husband want the rights of the book series to make their own sequels...
That is so nauseating. Heard about the "fat-shaming". HER issues, not his. The guy has a legitimate physical health constraint. If you watch his videos, he and his wife are very healthy and into exercise with their family. He takes very good care of himself. The fact that he was literally controlled during every scene (particularly the physical ones) makes me feel for him even more. He was the director! The author should be ashamed for choosing celebrity over integrity...along with the other co-stars. I think Blake (and Ryan) revealed some true colors. They will be "has beens" in a year or two, and decent REAL people like Justin Baldoni will rise again. He is a very skilled actor/director. He will come out on top.
Justin optioned the book in 2019 already for it to be made by his production company, and he got to be the director but Blake cut out and took over with her husband and removed a bunch of scenes and edited the script without even telling anyone
If that’s what happened , It really showed in the movie . The movie did not live up to the book . It lacked so much depth . A lot of important scenes from the book were not seen in the movie
Hahaha these couple. Cant stand them
The names are so bad in this book/film. Ridiculous
What an absolute nightmare!!!
Seems like this author doesn't care about what she actually wrote, as long as the check clears.
Everything is coming back on Blake and she absolutely deserves it! Im glad ppl are finally seeing what those of us in the industry haveknown for years. She is honestly worse than you can imagine.
I wonder if Taylor Swift thinks she owns the world too..
Unpopular opinion, but reading the book, I could never imagine Blake as Lily. She shouldn't be in this movie to begin with!
Now she is treating the movie like it's the Barbie movie and doesn't use her huge platform to talk about DV!
I agree! Lily in the book is way younger, and it makes sense. A younger woman with no experience is easier to manipulate. Blake doesn't look 23yo lol
Someone like Elle Fanning would have been more approppriate.
Should have used the younger Lily as the older Lily. She’s darling and age appropriate.
I believe this is the most popular opinion actually
Huge problem not saying an actress has to have experience with DV to promote the film, but she was definitely miscast , an actress like Melissa Benoist (who is an actual DV victim) would have been much better!
@@zhenyamugisa9423 that's awful, how could a woman who suffered DV irl go through that again, even if she's an actress, it's traumatizing.
I'm also getting mean girl vibes. I think Blake and Ryan have a lot of power and persuasion with in the industry and it looks like she took over and made everyone against him as well for not agreeing with her... I mean it's a guess but still.
Finally people are realising that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds just buy their roles to stay famous. They come from money and have no talent. They are like Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt...
It’s always people’s instinct to blame the woman isn’t it. It’s getting very cliche to me.
Watch her interviews. She’s definitely not a delicate flower and uses your same flawed argument in cruel ways.
@@charityrocksSo women are beyond reproach? While women do get disproportionately more flak in our culture, it doesn’t mean individual women can’t be aggressors, bullies or controlling. This is especially the true the more power and fame you have. So get off your high horse.
@@charityrocks they wouldnt have nothing to blame her for if she didnt give motives. If you look at several interviews, articles..
I will stan JB because i have a feeling that Blake just wanted to take over the whole thing and make it about her along with her husband. We see that happening. Not looking forward to this movie, Collen's books glorifies Toxic stuff
Glorifying toxic stuff. It is the taylor swift spirit.
I’m so glad to see like minded comments on here! I’ve watched so many clips of interviews with both Blake and Justin. EVERY interview Blake’s done is absolutely silly….and does not reflect what this book/movie is about. I did read the book and I was in a 22 year relationship that was abusive. I definitely would have watched the movie but just Can’t now after seeing how she is being so flippant about this movie. On the other hand Justin talks seriously about it in each of his interviews.
And….he doesn’t try to promote a hair care line.
Blake Lively acting abilities are very modest and do not improve over time. She is also very plain.
She would be nowhere withouth Ryan money and conections
I don't like her, I never have. Don't really care for her husband either.
I really don't know what the fuss is over her. I think her claim to fame is marrying Ryan Reynolds. And that's where it ends.
Thats why you don't use popular actors...their own fame and power damage and infect the movie...
I feel like the reason why the author and the rest of the cast seem to be “siding” with her is because she’s the bigger star.. like if they go against her and side with the director, they might get attacked in the tabloids too. Major queen bee vibes.
Who cares about tabloids only low life's read them
I couldn't label Blake as unproblematic. I have just watched some of her latest interviews, including the famous Kjersti Flaa interview. Beyond disturbing.
Something is definitely shady. Not to see the director and main character promote the movie together?? Very weird. Is it that Blake Lively was too dominant and wanted to have control over the directing too? She seems to come out of this too controlling and frankly bitchy.
That’s why she is with Ryan… they are very similar in that regard
I agree, she had problems with other co stars in gossip girl and in simple favour. Its her the problem
@@foreveryoursunconditionallythat were just rumours. The press hate women even more back then in the 00s
Es como si me dijeras que es una película de Oj Simpson de los 90s cuando su esposa sufrió VD y esta Blake Lively es protagonista y habla de flores shampoos y vestido de Britney Spears y que es la pinky friend de La Swiftie y es la esposa de Deadpool.... Que locura!!!
It’s crazy how even the Author is with Blake like seriously she wrote the whole book based on the main plot that is DV and she goes with Blake never reading her books again
He clearly got pushed out of his own project. Even if Blake wanted to take over creative control. She could have found a way to still included Baldoni in the inner circle, instead she seemed to turn others against him. Also, I don't see where he was officially "fired", so I call incorrect click bait on your title.
I totally agree that he was pushed out! Although it was announced that he was fired from doing the next movie as Blake and Ryan will take over with their production company. It seems like they have different visions for he project and better relationship with the author
@@paulajf4205 her and ryan are too up themselves now. The golden couple?.....not so much!!
It makes sense. The author would side with Ryan because he has money
It's off-putting to witness the current situation between Justin and Blake. Their mutual respect and professionalism are essential, especially considering the significance of adapting the book and its characters for the cinematic experience. The ongoing disputes are not only unprofessional but also detrimental to the project’s integrity and success.
Colleen Hoover romanticizes and glorifies abuse in her books. They 100% are risking the films integrity but neither Colleen or the actors cared about the actual message of the book.
I missed seeing Justin Baldoni at the opening with others from the film. I love him as an actor and I hope that whatever is going on, will get straightened out. I'd love to see the book "It Starts With Us" made into a film also. How sad that since Justin has been trying to make this movie for 4 years now and he's being pushed out. Stop ruining this movie, I haven't even seen it yet and now I need to forget all this BS, before I get the chance to enjoy this movie. (from Sandi)
Bad writers don’t research. When building a character, you have to develop their back story, and knowing how long doctors train to surgical levels would have taken 2 minute on Google. Lazy.
Agreed!!! So lazy
Facts!
All her writing is lazy. As an avid reader who will usually read a few books before judging an author, you have no idea how disappointed I was reading something so loved and hyped to find out a couple of pages in she had a neurosurgeon aged unbelievably young and it only got worse from there. It was readable, it was OK, but it was blown up into something online that didn't exist in the pages.
And even with my severe ADHD I know I would have put more effort in.
I get a lot of people like easy reads that are a little more basic, but it almost felt like I was being spoon fed a concept that I was far more capable of understanding than the writing allowed, almost like reading a 'for dummies' book for a subject you are knowledgeable in.
But I still can't help but feel it's almost insulting to the average reader too.
I feel like chatgpt would have done better.
I feel like the issue is that Blake has always wanted to be bigger than she is.
She's not a great actress her acting skills have literally been the exact same. I've seen people talk about how her acting Scott and better it hasn't watch her and gossip girl watch her in the Green lantern and watch her in any other movie that she had done afterwards and she does the exact same thing. I feel like what she's good at is really just being pretty and being married to a very likeable man.
Which is where I feel like the issue comes in when it comes to her. She sees the things that her husband does and how beloved Ryan is how he can sit there and not only be in movies and shows that people genuinely like and his personality is very shining even if there are questionable shit that both of them have definitely done. but he's also charismatic enough that he was able to sit there and convince a company that didn't want to come out with a movie to not only come out with movie but allow him to come out with sequels to that movie and be the one of the main producers and directors if I'm correct and it's blowing up and has done nothing but greatness for her husband and for her technically cuz they're both making Bank off of the entire Deadpool franchise.
That I feel like she now wants to do that. From every video that I have watched about this from every tik Tok that I've seen it genuinely comes off as if she tried to just take over the entire project and when that didn't work she decided to go on a smear campaign against this man.
Like I find it ironic that people have pointed out that this is someone who has talked about DV and promoted people getting help for it for about 10 or so years like almost a decade this is someone who's always taking their craft very seriously and who seems to be the only person genuinely talking about what the movie is about in terms of the DV in it how people can get help talking about questions he wishes people would stop asking or once you wish people would ask like he seems to be the only one taking any of this seriously which is ironic dealing that even the author seems to be like la di da di da.
Then again I've never read any of her books mainly because I've never heard of one good thing about that woman either or her son so...
Cast members and people not really talking about it. I feel like that makes sense because are you really going to try and go up against Blake and her husband Ryan who have their hands in like every freaking little thing it seems in Hollywood who are super popular if they what are companies / franchises you would consider them to be the Disney of their world not only from the movies and TV shows that they've been a part of things that they've produced let's not forget about the liquor brands the hair brand now the phone service like they have so many things under their belt which means that they probably have so many people in so many high places and all over the place when it comes to not just the entertainment industry that it wouldn't be hard for them to convince others who are working with them to take their side or to say Jack schitt about anything.
She definitely gives off mean girl vibes like if things don't go her way she will legitimately be like well if you don't do this I will ruin your life. I'm dealing that I don't think I've ever seen her work with people who are within the same celebrity status as her like ever really she always seems to work with people who are below her and celebrity status making it easier for her to use that or hold that over their heads.
Apparently due to the Colleen Hoover scandal, she lost so much popularity that she quickly decided to make the movie before her empire crashed. She needed a lot of budget and Blake and Ryan basically took control in exchange for money. That is the only reason why Blake was cast. She bought the part. Everyone wanted Abygail Cowen but she is not rich enough 😢
I wouldn't be surprised. Colleen Hoover is an awful writer and romanticizes abuse in her books.
Scandal ?
Blake bought this role just like her parents did for her when she was younger. She told a story once how her parents paid a director to cast her.
Blake's PR team is in full force. Blake Lively is a bully. Justin did not fat shame her he asked someone else how much she weighed because he has back problems. She just wanted to take over and credit from Justin. Cancel Blake Lively!
She is gossip girl in real life.
Not releasing Blake from her responsibility in this, but I have the feeling that Ryan was jealous of Justin (kissing scene etc) and I feel that he has a lot to do with the falling out between the two. How rude both behaving in this entire situation, cutting off the director of the movie. Justin is the ONLY one who takes the heavy topic seriously.
Blake and Ryan are very superficial and money oriented where as Justin has taken this on as a passion project. There was bound to be conflict.
So glad everyone is seeing what I am seeing. I think JB has done immense work in getting this movie made and as someone who has seen this, I thought it was a beautiful film. I agree with his sentiments that there are better actresses for a sequel and Blake is better placed as a director rather than the lead actress, definitely her drama takes away from the serious issues this movie addresses which only women suffering real life domestic abuse can understand. It's like holding onto anything that shows what real abuse is like, you feel like no one in the world can see or believe you because your partner appears so beautiful on the outside when he is a monster on the inside!! Blake and her husband who has nothing to do with anything should not be using this serious topic to promote themselves!!! Sad and pathetic.
Well Justin seems pretty true to himself and his fans. Blake even sounds so out of body and confused when she speaks.. maybe she probably realizes it's not cool what she's doing to him either.
Can't believe Coleen Hoover books are being adapted in 2024
Why is that? I ask because I didn't know this author before watching the movie..
The balcony scene had Ryan Reynolds written all over it and that made it cheesy. His humour does not mesh that well with the whole story
Justin baldoni is so talented.❤
Blake is a bully!!!! I will never watch another movie of hers ever again!!!!
X2
Im happy I never bought any of Coleen Hoovers books.
What no one knows is that the author says this and that about women but she had a girl message her about her son SA the girl and the author ignored her….the author didn’t say nothing for years later disclaimed she hadn’t read the messages but the girl showed proof the author indeed read her messages. That’s when I stop reading her books.
Sadly is too late! look her books are becoming movies she is a millionaire, even if she had a down fall she already made that dough!
Also don’t ask me well where is the proof! Just go look for it! Is a known thing.
I see Blake a bit different since Princess Catherine illness…
Exactly
Why? 😅
@@akcedenorshe made a remark abouy Catherine then had to back pedal when it was announced Catherine had cancer.......there's only one princess.....and it ain't you Blake......mean girls is more your thing!!
Blake and the author are both marketing off this premiere’s interviews. Blake has her hair care line and beverage business and has mentioned both in interviews (inappropriately), and the author is selling paraphernalia attached to the movie and book. I suspect the cast was pressured and/or bullied into picking sides, and since the Blake/Colleen side can do much more for their careers, of course they’d choose that side. But Justin is a gem of a man in every interview and gives the domestic violence topic the due it deserves. I feel badly that his project for hijacked by Blake and her husband. Mean girl vibes for sure.
Ppl be analyzing fake dramas but dont take the time to research the presidential candidates policies. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Colleen seems like she’d be the toxic one in a relationship..
Yep
I never thought Blake lively would behave this bad to ruin a movie she acts in.....domestic violence is a serious topic that cannot be romantized. Baldoni was giving the importance DV deserves..amd as much as i like ryan and blake...it ia very rude and offensive that ryan was messing with the script. Ryan should respect the director vision and blake's acting.
You never use a business to promote another business.
They each need to stand on their own .
I stand with Justin. Love him and thanku Justin
She cant fire him. He owns the rights.
I loved Justin the director he was great, also Lilly should had been a younger actress and I do believe Colleen was the instigator!!!
Important context about Ryan Reynolds rewriting a scene: During the writer's strike all scripts were supposed to be locked with no edits occurring. And given the timeline of the movie, Ryan would have had to rewritten the scene during the strike, which is not only dishonest and disrespectful to the actual screenplay writer but to all the writers fighting for their jobs
Pretty sure lively is attracted to him but doesn’t want to be. Probably Ryan’s a little jealous and they haven’t been around each other a lot. You add opinions of artistry in there I think it’s her
Even bad publicity is good publicity.
If two adults have creative differences it is okay. If they approach the story from different angles, it might be just that. I personally believe that domestic violence should be taken seriously, but, maybe they are counting on the surprise effect so that people will watch it and think about it. What I would reflect on is the amount of hate towards a woman on her postpartum and the silent treatment towards a dedicated director. Both are wrong.
Blake Lively is NOT unproblematic. She’s just really pretty and doesn’t work often so we forget about her.
I think she looks quite ordinary and fake. Her eyes are cold,and her smile is mean.
We could’ve had a movie that could’ve successfully show and help those in DV navigate their own journeys…. Instead we got screwed over by one of our own.
Why would anyone want to get involved with Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds? Those people live in their own world and they think that they can screw around with everything including the script-that nobody knew about. They need their own projects, there is no working with people that think only this option matters
When a one note actress who was raised a rich girl becomes a power hungry player.
he works on everything i do vice versa? is everything a family affair? i do not want to work with them if I were an actress
Blake is such a bad actress 😂
She was really good in this
How fast things change... just last weekend this movie was the toast of the town. Now anything about it is being completely eclipsed by the drama behind the scenes.
The author of the book didn't know doctor takes longer to finish school?! That says a lot about the whole project
Lily is in her early 20s but blake is in her late 30s so it changes the film because she wanted to be part of it
Blake needs to stop promoting her shit,Ryan should've never even been promoting it like it was his movie or fcking Deadpool,not every movie needs the actors to make it a fun time,it's nonsense.
Justin is being throw under the bus with this whole situation when he's the one actually taking the topics seriously.
Loved the movie. Blake and Justin played their arts well. Who cares what happened behind the scenes?
I thought it was good movie until the latter part of the movie when it started to get choppy. I was really incredulous when the ending suggested that she ended up with Atlas - she had zero chemistry with him. I imagine the sequel will be Dullsville if it focuses on their relationship.
I hope baldoni has option for 2nd movie and just never makes it
Gee it wouldn’t be mr overcompensation Ryan causing this
He gives me mean girl vibes too.
He portrayed it perfectly!! This movie showed the conditioning that takes place and how easily it is to not know the truth of the abuse for the victim. I hope they reconcile their differences because this movie very well portrayed what i experienced and good never understand and blamed myself for many many years. Thank you to the entire cast, director and writer.
One person talks about the DV is the film, the other one is selling we bullshit shampoo…people show you who they really are
I think she would be better fit to play the abuser. She has this narcissistic, lack of empathy and self centered approach to everything
Blake Lively seems to be a real mean girl.
Reports of Baldoni's alleged behavior surfaced Aug. 9, when the Daily Mail published a report alleging Baldoni was "chauvinistic" and "borderline abusive" on the set of It Ends with Us. The same day, Page Six reported Baldoni created an “extremely difficult” atmosphere behind the scenes for the entire cast.
Why does everyone give him the benefit of doubt but not everyone else ? I love Justin Baldoni but even I think it’s very weird that everyone from the cast want nothing to do with him, even the other men. Maybe his behaviour was really awful during the production.
Justin portrayed the character of Ryle so well.
I thought he was fantastic. I didn't know he was/is a sportman before this. In fact, I was wondering how come I had never heard of this incredible actor before this movie. He doesn't have the usual handsome face of a leading actor but man, he was crackling on every scene. I think he has the X factor on film.
Used to like Blake, up until she attacked Catherine, the Princess of Wales, while she was ill. That was disgusting.
It was a well done movie. So, whoever influenced it… did a great job! 👏
Nice people dont always get along and that is okay .
That's why women stay, because they will make themselves so perfect for their victims until it happens.. again. He definitely had a vision and people took advantage of him. He seems like such a good guy. I hope to see more of his work
I Ryan and Blake did shows that they lacked respect for Justin. Now, I would question maybe Justin deserves it because maybe his view was poor but now seeing that he is only taking it seriously…we also see Ryan and Blake are narcissistic but rewriting and not telling Justin. They took over basically and it was disrespectful. The director is the boss…..😂 Ryan and Blake would never do that to Christopher Nolan or James Cameron . 100%
Those directors will kick you out if Hollywood.,.not even Blake and Ryan would save safe if they disrespected a high up like that. Justin is new and doesn’t have the power so they felt comfortable making this “their” movie.
Entitled brats. Also, I always question Blake as s person because she is so close to Taylor swift who is s know narcissist. Girl had no shame. Birds of a feather flock together. So now that it’s confirmed that Blake is an entitled b*** too….now we must question Ryan for being into a narcissist like that.
Soooo glad I got the original cover ❤
I wonder if Ryan felt insecure about the intimacy between Justin and Blake. So her pushed himself into the film. I don't know that I will see the movie since I am a DV and child abuse survivor.
Probably he’s cross-eyes and beady. Justin is gorgeous.
@user-ch3ez7wz7i Justin is gorgeous! I would be feeling insecure on both sides.
Sorry, but who cares what she WEARS?! It’s literally HER thing and nothing that is of ANY interest whatsoever. Leave her alone. She looks great, you don’t have to wear it.
I am not sure what’s going on, but it’s all just speculation. It seems like he had any has the best intentions, he should be respected for his work and I fino it unfortunate that his cut, which had the best votes, was not chosen after all.
Poor Justin

Jenny’s answer surprised me. Not one complimentary word for the Director who most likely had a say on hiring her for this movie.
What she did say though was short sighted. At the time no one knew all that we know today so her words are loaded with critique to Justin should stick with Directing or acting but not both 🙄
Tell that to other Director’s who starred as main character. I googled this info. There’s Barbara Streisand, Clint Eastwood, Danny Devito, Ben Affleck, Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone, Kevin Costner, Joel Edgerton, John Krasinski and Justin Baldini who I think did terrific acting and the Directing was good bc I walked into that movie only knowing that it was adapted from a book. I knew zilch of what it was about. I really really really liked it. It was an incredibly moving movie.
For Jenny and the cast side with Blake loudly in public meant to ostracize Justin in public is disgraceful. Especially if it’s in fact about Blake felling fat shamed by Justin or that he kissed too long in a kiss. Singular kiss, not plural. These are things that are worked out amongst professionals and you move on, not creating drama and cliques like defensive bullies do. It’s too bad that the PR has gone south bc this might dissuade ppl from wanting to watch an otherwise, a good movie with a much needed message to those of us who have suffered DV.
Writing a book that involves a neurosurgeon, but you don't know that in order to become a neurosurgeon you need to study for MANY years?
That says a lot about the author's writing skills
She can’t fire him he owns the rights to it
Blake is trying to make this movie and deadpool movie into the new Barbie/oppenheimer
why is she all over the media? sick of lookin at her. she seems like a drama llama....
If it is quoted that they are both "unproblematic" then what's the problem? 'Unproblematic' means they are not problematic.
I don’t know - something super weird is going on - for some reason I don’t feel like balding did anything 🤷🏼♀️
I get this sense Blake is having a huge ego trip for some reason
She is promoting hair products and her husband!
Actually my life is like the story It Ends With Us. Me and my son are happier than ever.
I won’t watch this movie because of Blake Lively’s and Parker Posey’s rude interview. Dear Ms. Lively and Ms. Posey: your mean girl interview will keep me from spending one thin dime on your little movie. Blake-are you planning on more reconstructive surgeries to improve your looks? You should definitely give that some more thought to that. Maybe they can whittle down that really big ego.
They would want people to think there’s problems behind the scenes it will make people watch the movie.
Narcissism, inferiority complexities, emotional instability and jealousy on top of the usual competitiveness of these top players, has got to be maddeningly overwhelming. Unbearable for some.
Blake and Brandon are both perfect 10s, each very talented and I presume fairly wealthy, etc. (Reynolds & Lively, for sure. I've just now "met" Brandon, hence, my uncertainty).
Who really knows the entirety of what's going on with this entire production.
Ryan having actually written some of the dialogue, (after filming began, it sounds like), could 100% be the primary instigating factor of all of this tumult.
But, no one, save those involved, really knows the goings on,
"... behind closed doors." You know the age old expression. It's as true now as it was at the first utterance.
Also, Blake was not acting professional or respectful, at all, at that notorious interview, where Parker Posey also appeared. Anything to do with her?
The typical, overt snobbery of the elite. I'm somewhat disappointed, as Blake is my closest, celebrity doppelganger. Ha.
If only it were readily apparent.
Peace ☮️
im not defending Blake but if she's terrible then why did all of the supporting cast members unfollowed Justin and not Blake on Instagram. I feel like we dont know the full story and im just curious.
Come on don't use logic on the internet.
What does 'power couple' mean? What kind of power do they have? English is not my first language, I really don't understand that statement
Personally - I felt like the movie really missed the mark of how much the book covered of this complex situation.
I need to re read the book
I feel sorry for the main actor of her last film Justin Baldoni who is the director of the film and holds the rights to adapt the book to the cinema. She acts he doesn't exist in a very disrespectfully and unprofessional way. He shows the reality of the film and speaks out against domestic violence very accurately. Very disrespectful for this actress who wanted to take over his film he has been working for years. He talks about domestic violence, she's more about selling the film like Barbie with flowers and selling the beverage products and hair products along with the film's premiere. And the book writer selling nail polish and coloring books.
He is a class act, mature with high emotional inteligence. His interviews of the film are the best.
I personally loved the movie and the message and the acting. I saw all the bts drama but I think people are just focusing too much on Blake’s choices and missing the best part of it all: the message. I do like to play the devils advocate sometimes because just as in the movie, real life is way more complicated for the person living it than to the ones judging from outside. So I rather focus on facts and actual important things that matter to me as a person stead of just gossip and the famous “she said he said”. But that’s me.
Blake is now known for being difficult to work with and disrespectful toward castmates and absolutely vile toward interviewers.
