很确定我不必为您回顾一下Don’t Worry Darlingpromotional tour has been. It was messy even before the tour started, with online speculation building over months about whether or not Florence Pugh was over Olivia Wilde,Darling,and refusing to support the film. And then of course Shia LaBeouf crashed the party, which preceded the craziness in Venice with the Phantom Spit, and Miss Flo showing up late for five minutes before peacing out to work on another movie.
奥利维亚处在所有这些中间。这是一些热量。但是她无法和平，因为她是导演，并且是电影的制片人，而且她也是演员的一部分。这是她的工作。她花了数年的时间在这个项目上 - 她无法逃跑并躲避头条新闻。所以昨晚她出现了The Late Show with Stephen Colbertfor a three-segment interview, and did not run from the questions.
Colbert went there with her. He asked her about Shia, he asked her about Florence, and he asked her about the Phantom Spit. And if her appearance on the show was a performance – of course it was a performance, she was there to perform the task of convincing people her movie isn’t a sh-tshow and that they should go see it – she, in my opinion, killed it. She showed her work.
With the Shia situation, she basically said that there was a lot of context missing from the texts and the video that was released and that, in the end, as a director, she was trying to “mediate” a situation between two actors and when that didn’t work, she chose one actor over another. Everything else, all the other interpretations of it, she says, is just semantics.
无论您是否购买此解释都取决于您。但是我可以告诉你，那里的人会购买它，她吸引了他们，他们是那些处于领导职位的妇女，他们不得不在对方的两个人之间进行妥协。与科尔伯特（Colbert）一起，她设法解释了这一点，而没有浪费她最终放弃的一方，没有听起来有防御性。
And that’s the delicate balance, right? Because she really was there to defend herself and her movie. And she has taken some hits, it would be easy to give into the temptation to come out firing and aggressive – but this wasn’t Olivia’s energy during Colbert’s interrogation. Not when she answered about Shia and not when she was asked about whether or not she’s feuding with Flo and not when she was talking about whether or not Harry Styles spat on Chris Pine. Even when she refers to how out of control the internet can be when it runs away with its own, she manages to pivot that back to whatDon’t Worry Darlingis about: the narratives we do or don’t choose to accept and or challenge. Which tells me that maybe she’s learned from a few weeks ago during her interviews when she was repeatedly falling back on blaming tabloid media.
That’s not to say that Olivia, through the entireDon’t Worry Darling旅程,做了错事。没有人是specifying exactly what went down on this set and it doesn’t seem like we’ll ever get a detailed play-by-play. All we know for sure is that the story has taken on a life of its own, and she’s emerged as one of the villains. She was already being harassed online by Harry Styles’s fans and all of this has only amplified that hate. So what I appreciate is that she meeting all this controversy face-first. She’s not tapping. She’s still showing up – she has no choice but to show up because she’s fighting for her career.
And that’s where she and Colbert end up in this interview. She’s a female director in an industry where female directors don’t get many opportunities and male directors get all the opportunities, including the opportunities to f-ck up over and over again. Colbert cites Hitchcock as an example who was notorious for how abusive he was to the actors, and is still held up as a genius. Colbert is the one who points out that whatever Olivia did or didn’t do is NOTHING compared to Hitchcock or Stanley Kubrick or David O Russell. But there is a very big risk of her experiencing a major directorial setback because of how thisDon’t Worry Darlingsituation is unfolding.
This post is titled “Olivia Wilde takes the stand” and in a way, being on Colbert did feel like she was giving testimony in her own defence, willingly. But should she even be on the stand?
The aforementioned David O Russell is currently promoting a film right now calledAmsterdamwith an all-star cast that includes Christian Bale, John David Washington, Margot Robbie, and Rami Malek, among others. Sarah recently wrote aboutDavid O Russell’s f-cksh-t. And Gawker published a recap of他一直都是Sh-t在他的电影中开出来。现在没有人在谈论他。而且，如果他们这样做，我很难相信他可以像奥利维亚一样处理它。因此，奥利维亚（Olivia）和科尔伯特（Colbert）通过指出不平等来结束对话时并没有错。
