As I was adding my top four into my blog, I noticed that three of them had actors that are seriously problematic. Shia Labeouf, Kevin Spacey, Ansel Elgort, and Armie Hammer.
Shia Labeouf is a known abuser and last I heard was reeking havoc on New Orleans. Kevin Spacey was accused of sexual assault (I always believe the victims, don't worry). Ansel Elgort also was accused of sexual assault (I will write later about how men can't keep their hands to themselves). Then there is Armie Hammer. Boy oh boy was I SHOCKED when I heard he is an alleged cannibal. I was then less shocked when he was accused of sexual and physical abuse. Seriously what is up with men??
Let me say that I in NO way support or even like these actors. Men once again ruined some of my favorite things.
Why don't I just change my top four you ask? Because I am not letting some fuck ass men ruin beautiful stories for me.
Call me by your name has had me in a chokehold since 2020. The cinematography, score, and plot is just so good. Peanut Butter Falcon is also such a beautiful story about two men just having fun and not letting the world get to them. Baby Driver is just so damn cool. The way the set correlates with the music in the beginning is my favorite scene ever. It's a love story, music video, action movie, and Fast and Furious all stuffed into one movie. It's awesome!
What isn't awesome is that the lead actors in these movies are all awful people. I try my best to separate the actors from their characters, but when it's infiltrating all my favorite movies it makes me feel like a bad person for liking them.
Of course I like other movies, but these hold my heart so strongly that I can't let go. I hate men. I hate them because they did awful things to women and destroyed my favorite movies in the process.
I would like to thank Hayao Miyazaki for being a wonderful man and not casting men that suck.
