Skye Reynolds 09/06/17 10:31:23 PM #63:	It's so stupid. Personality types and figures are one and the same to Hollywood. If you have breasts, you're the chick everyone wants to bang and nothing more. Scarlet Johansson's career took off after she got a reduction. She had to chop off pieces of her body to fit the Hollywood mold of what a protagonist should look like. That's fucked up.

Zeeak4444 09/06/17 10:37:39 PM #68:	Glass_Phantom posted... Zeeak4444 posted... Yes, but she's also ignoring the fact that physical appearance is a big part of that industry. I don't think anyone's denying physical appearance is a big part of Hollywood. The question people are asking is, should it continue to be? I mean, it really depends. Do we want movies that make a lot of money? If so we need to dispel the "sex sells" belief, assuming it's not really the truth. We also need to determine what the industry is based on. It's not based on acting, there's a reason they theatre industry and the movie industry aren't buddy buddy. Great actors are there, don't get me wrong. I firmly believe that the appeal of the actors disposition and physical appearance determines their success far more than their acting ability though. I'm pretty conflicted. I think it's gotta be a solid balance. It would be like saying models shouldn't be the type they are but there's a reason why they have the title "model" assuming it's not some instagram model. I personally don't think I'd ever work in the movie industry myself so it's hard to have sympathy for those who do but aren't as successful as they'd like. It's a business.
