She got to wear a Dior haute courure dress? I will never understand this girl. I will forever be mad at this girl for throwing this all away like a used condom. A non-english european actress breaking through in HW with no previous connections is almost unheard of. Only one i can think of from the top of my head is Marion Cottillard. I would kill for the chances she got and she she did nothing with it. Instead she wanted a race through Central Park with Chris and she wants to take a break from acting. So ungrateful
Here's the difference, though: Marion Cotillard had already had a really high-profile career in France with César nominations. And her Hollywood breakthrough came as a crossover hit in one of those French movies.

For the faceclaim, I'd say: Megan Dodds for Narcissa, Mark Strong for Severus (even if Alan Rickman is amazing!!!) and Marion Cottillard for Fleur! ^^
I really like your choice for Dodds as Narcissa!! It fits very well imo. And Cottillard’s facial structure kind of reminds me of Movie!Fleur’s.

Disappointment and underwhelming movie experiences
Adaptations of video games into films are not a new phenomena. We can obviously count many videos games adaptations into movies since the beginning of the 2000's, like the first Tomb Raider movies where Angelina Jolie played the main character, a brave and independent adventurer named Lara Croft in Lara Croft : Tomb Raider (Simon West, 2001) and in Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (Jan de Bont, 2003). A reboot was released in 2018 starring Alicia Vikander as the title role in Tomb Raider (Roar Uthaug, 2018).
Video games adaptations are big financial hits for video games companies. These adaptations are impatiently awaited by fans of the video games sagas. Although many partnerships are formed between movie production companies and video game companies, the opinion of the public on these video games adaptations into movies are regularly criticized and considered disappointing. Why then are these video games adaptation into movies not well received by the public, despite being highly awaited ? In this article, I will focus on Assassin's creed, adapted and directed by Justin Kurzel (2016) and Far Cry Warrior, adapted from the video games saga Far cry and directed by Uwe Boll (2008).
No matter what kind of games they work on, talented video games animators succeed in creating imaginary worlds ; they manage to persuade the players of the game’s qualities and potential for gaming and exploration. Video games aimed for people 16 years old or more are often violent but also extremely realistic in their staging. There are details everywhere, in the scenery as well as in the characters' physical appearance for instance. The character’s movements and facial expressions make them pretty much life-like. The use of motion capture helps video games animators define every single physical part of the character's face and body. As for the sceneries, they have to be impressive, in order to let the player get immersed in the game. The final aim is to make an absolute visual masterpiece.
In adapatations like Assassin's creed, starring Michael Fassbender as Callum Lynch / Aguilar de Nerha and Marion Cottillard as Doctor Sophia Rikkin, the story may be based on an original screenplay, different from the ones already explored in the video games, the characters are still very much integrated in a cinematographic environment; the public expects impressive settings, amazing VFX and incredible stunts. And it is true, the stunts are substantial. “We just try to make all the stunts feel as real as possible and make you kind of believe in them”, highlights the director Justin Kurzel in a promotional interview for the movie. However, it is impossible for production designers to recreate the exact same environment as the one in the Assassin's creed video game saga.
What makes the Assassin's creed saga so enjoyable for the players are the spectacular virtual worlds and the incredibly realistic movements of the playable characters. In the Assassin's creed cinematographic adaptation, the spectators were not surprised to see an actor walking realistically or speaking in a well-posed voice. In the end, the public and especially the fans can easily feel disappointed by the Assassin's creed adaptation.
This situation exists for other video games adaptations like Far cry Warrior as well. While the Far cry saga is defined by its immersive display in which the player plays a main character through a subjective view, the Far cry Warrior director, Uwe Boll, decided to rarely use this technique. Shots in Far Cry Warrior rely instead on basic cinematography such as outlines or close-up shots. These shots are not imagined with the aim of being impressive for the spectator's eye. For the fans, the movie doesn't reach into the same environment as the one they expected based on their game experience. What is more, if the screenplay is not deemed deep or interesting enough, it can easily lead to a new disappointment. Maybe it is too difficult for a spectator to watch a movie with only subjective shots as seen through the eyes of the main character, but one thing here is clear: the director's vision doesn't seem strong enough for a public who is used to the original video game.

i think i only really like One actually Bad movie and that movie is inception. ive spent a lot of time thinking about it i have some Mean little opinions but i fucking love marion cottillard and tom hardy in this movie they fucking carry it. um. the visual aesthetic of the movie is interesting to criticise bc its like. Almost really good? but chris nolan was fucking about with the film noir genre and chose a deliberately Quite muted palette and it really kills my excitement for the locations when i have fucking PAPRIKA as the closest comparison... im choosing not to discuss the costumes on purpose. if i start i will not stop. this is one of joseph gordon levitts WORST performances and its so funny hes so fucking STIFF and inhuman like a mannequin doll man.

Contagion: A Modern Monster Movie
I’m a fan of art imitating life, especially through the medium of film. Being able to recreate life as accurately as possible, while providing substance in an engaging and thrilling way, is a difficult endeavor. One that needs to be applauded.
Good artists connect with us in the moment. Great artists connect with us in the future.
We talk about ‘Contagion’ on the latest episode of TheWorkprint’s…

E se Marion Cottillard in Inception avesse avuto ragione e devo solo morire per risvegliarmi nella vita reale in cui stiamo ancora assieme? Varrebbe la pena tentare.
Ci vediamo dall'altra parte amore mio.

Writing Sample 1
Is Television still Sexist?
In a world where working women with full time jobs still earn only 77% of what their male counterparts make, we are still a long time away from true equality between sexes. We are in a current TV climate where activist movements like “#MeToo” and The Women’s March exist and have worked to progress change. Often times art imitates life. Does the gap between men and women still exist today in television?
Some believe it still exists on the screen. An article from cracked.com written by Nathan Murphy references the portrayal of women, their issues, their livelihoods and their natural processes as sexism that still exists on television. He states that, “Hollywood prides itself on being progressive. It's always ready to hand out awards to shows and movies that address once-taboo topics like transgender-ism and gay rights. But when it comes to female sexuality, TV is still bizarrely old-fashioned. Female characters seem far more likely to be brutally raped than to initiate and enjoy casual sex ... as if we're more comfortable with the former.”
Murphy’s point is accurate, while there are casual sensual scenes in some shows it is more likely that a woman’s sexuality is only shown when she is won by the male counterpart or initiated in sexual violence. The idea that it is normal for women to casually enjoy or initiate sex is a foreign concept to many writers as they compose from the male perspective.
Women are equally just as hormonally driven as men are and they should have a say in how their sexuality is portrayed on television.
Another way people believe that sexism still exists on tv screens is in advertising. According to an article by the Atlantic one form of sexism that is still prominent in many ads is Boomerang sexism.
Boomerang sexism is when men fight against emasculation and domestication as if it is processes that are not meant for them. Some examples of boomerang sexism are campaigns that mock men for not acting manly enough or campaigns that use or degrade women to persuade men into action.
Ads that appeal to the male masculinity only display the lack of equal respect that women still fight for. The activist group, “#WomenNotObjects” highlight the many ways companies use the female body as a way to promote their products.
Whether that is using cleavage to sell a burger or beautiful women to sell body spray, the portrayal of women as objects or trophies to be won still point out the sexism of ads ran on television.
According to their official website #WomenNotObjects found that, objectifying women had a majorly negative effect on their consumer’s intent to purchase a product. They also found that objectification also has a “massively negative impact,” on brand reputation. With these findings one can make the case that ads that objectify women do more harm to a company than good.
While the company may reach or gain some specific audiences that fall for the oversexualization of women in ads, they are more likely to lose a lot more of their audience by doing so.
One could also argue that by having women on their shows and ads in a respectful manner could actually benefit a tv show or company. Last year, shows where women held a main role or strong lead dominated in television awards and nominations. Shows like “Big Little Lies” which held four equally strong female leads or “The Handmaids Tale,” which has a strong female lead each won five Emmy’s last year and had major accomplishments in viewership.
There a great number of women nowadays who, due to the work of trailblazing actresses who came before them, hold acting jobs that were only meant for men back in the day and they are excelling at them. By giving women the opportunity to display their talents in television and not just exploiting their looks for sales or viewership you can actually be successful.
Some may argue against sexism saying that women have already broken the barrier that exists between them and men because of the opportunity and acclaim that some women in tv have already received.
Charlize Theron had something to say about this to Variety Magazine in which she stated, “I am ashamed I'm part of an industry that has never allowed a woman to work with a budget higher than what the budget has been on Wonder Woman". The actress disregarded the way the "cave man like" industry does not capitalize on the successes of female driven work.”
One actress believes that sexism doesn’t exist at all in Hollywood and denied the need for feminism in the industry. Marion Cottillard, a French actress, stated in an interview with Porter Magazine that, “Film-making is not about gender. You cannot ask a president in a festival like Cannes to have, like, five movies directed by women and five by men. For me it doesn't create equality, it creates separation. I mean, I don't qualify myself as a feminist. We need to fight for women's rights, but I don't want to separate women from men. We're separated already because we're not made the same and it's the difference that creates this energy in creation and love." This was according to an article from Roganproductions.com
What Cottillard didn’t realize was that the separation had already existed between men and women when men decided to use their female counterparts on television in the way that they do. From being underpaid to being oversexualized women in the media face many obstacles when trying to break into a industry that was not meant for them.
The fact that women have even broken into the overly male dominated television industry is a testament to all the women who faced the brunt of sexism back before activist movements ever existed.
In some tv industries the female presence has grown even stronger and added a different voice to issues that affect us all as people. Women who work in news rooms are now more prevalent than ever. This was especially apparent during the election run two years ago.
According to an article from Variety.com, “The prevalence of female journalists on the campaign trail didn’t happen overnight — it reflects the steady progress of women taking on beats that had been previously reserved for men, from the White House and Congress to the Pentagon and the Supreme Court to the front lines of global conflicts.”
They also went on to state that, “As much as news pros sought to take a gender-blind approach to covering the campaign, questions about gender bias among voters, sexual harassment, and Donald Trump’s treatment of women were unavoidable.”
The 2016 Presidential campaign which opened so many doors for Women journalists and broadcasters also was hard to endure for the many women that covered it. So even when they received an opportunity the women who work in these highly coveted jobs, still had to overcome sexism.
These women were brave enough to face the challenge and some did with flying colors. Rachel Maddow, a CSNBC correspondent with her own show openly criticized the President and other officials for their offensive or sexist remarks or actions that would happen during the news cycle. This in turn, caused Maddow’s ratings to soar beating out her male FOX counterpart Bill O’Reilly in ratings during that time period.
There are some women who have found success in the industry and have found a way to reflect truly what the female perspective is. There are also still women who suffer from not being able to be compensated as much as their male counterpart for the same amount of work or who don’t receive jobs because of males in positions of power who are the gatekeepers of the industry.
So, while art imitates life, there is still much work to be done in the art of television and the reality of life to end the existence of sexism. The ways to do that are to not oversexualize women to sell products or use them or degrade them in any manner. Another way is to provide them equal pay so that they receive as much as the man next to them. Lastly the best way to get rid of sexism in television is to communicate with women on better ways to provide opportunity for their perspective.
By accomplishing those things, only then will you get a foot in the door of making the world a truly equal place.
