      Someone in this said they did TV because of more opportunities for good roles. Now there's streaming that's opened up some roles. The problem seems to be that some level of movie cost is going away. Of course it has to be sensational enough to get butts in theater seats and not have people say, "I'll wait and see it on streaming in 4 weeks."

    I know I'm in the minority here. I was so looking forward to this documentary when it came out and I was very disappointed by it when I saw it. I watched it again the other day to see if I'd missed something and I felt differently. Sadly, I didn't. To me, many of those interviewed sounded very out with reality and complaining despite the fortune and privilege they have enjoyed. Debra Winger, Jane Fonda, Frances McDormand and several others were the only ones who were authentic and interesting to me. The good news is that it led me to watch, "Adrienne", about Adrienne Shelly who was murdered. She briefly appeared in this documentary. That was a beautiful, heartfelt documentary done by her husband. Searching for Debra Winger seemed shallow & superficial in comparison.

    • @gardensofthegods
      @gardensofthegods 10 місяців тому

      Kevin I have to agree with you but here's the thing that maybe you overlooked ... Frances McDormand's husband , she's been married to a Coen brother since 1984 ... and although the Coen Brothers didn't really start to make it big until after that , it certainly doesn't hurt to be married to a highly respected film ( and now TV ) writer , producer director ... even if he is quirky .
      And as for Jane Fonda , having her father being one of the most well-known and influential actors in Hollywood when she got into acting certainly didn't hurt her at all and later being married to a billionaire allowed her to retire in 1984 for 15 years .
      I didn't watch the whole thing ... I fell asleep during part of it but what I'm saying is they both had some advantages in that industry , especially Jane Fonda .
      I do respect and admire Frances McDormand a lot .
      But you're very accurate in your assessment for example another one Kate Capshaw he's been married to Steven Spielberg since 1991 complaining that if she spends time with her kids and isn't working she feels guilty about ignoring her career .
      I'm going to look up that actress you mentioned who lost her life .

    • @kevinmasterson5733
      @kevinmasterson5733 10 місяців тому +1

      @@gardensofthegods Yes, the Adrienne Shelley documentary on HBO is beautiful. I've met Jane Fonda several times and I have to say she is the real deal. She walks her talk, which is refreshing. A friend of mine lived near Frances McDormand in NY and he said she was very down to earth and often walked around looking like a bag lady. I recently read Debra Winger's book "Undiscovered." I picked it up several years ago and then put it down. I didn't get it. It is a number of vignettes or musing from her life about doing sometimes very mundane things or at very important moments: mowing the lawn on a riding mower and the hospital bed being removed from the house after her mother's death from cancer. When I picked it up this time, I was able to appreciate how beautiful, poetic and insightful her writing is. It makes sense why she left Hollywood. She says in the documentary, "do things that keep you soft." I got that feeling from the book too. You may want to check it out.

      Bruce Willis had that reputation but he still did blockbusters- until Stallone put his foot down and fired him from the Expendables sequels.
      Billy Bob Thornton also had a horrendous reputation for difficulty, and he did a movie with Willis. God knows how that set went.

    It's a worthy subject: women over 40 in Hollywood are ignored and neglected. But Debra Winger is a bad example of this. She was left behind because she was rude and unstable and disrespectful to everyone she worked with. Not just women. Shirley Maclaine complained about her...Michael Douglas...everyone...She was a little troublemaker ...There's better examples of this phenomenon...Jill Clayburg. Melanie Griffith. Barbara Hershey...

      Also some of these women did really well for themselves by having husbands who made a lot of money and therefore the woman could actually afford to take off from her job for a while .

    Hollywood is even worse now. Even more women characters are "substitute men" as Ebert calls them, and the men are usually overgrown adolescents or morons. In fact, most people in Hollywood can't even tell you what a woman is! Look at the last two Hollywood "Snow White" films. In "Mirror Mirror" the 7 dwarfs are ninja thieves who turn Snow White into a warrior. The woke Disney remake is so bad they won't even release it. I once saw a list on IMDb of the 20 greatest movie heroines. Half of them were either violent or they took on traditional men's roles.
