For nylig fyrede Disney instruktøren på Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, James Gunn, og det skyldes at instruktøren for et årti siden kom med nogle kontroversielle og særligt stødende udtalelser igennem de sociale medier. Dog har flere skuespillere kritiseret Disney for beslutningen, og blandt disse finder vi den Oscar-vindende skuespillerinde Glenn Close, der spiller Nova Prima i serien.
I et interview med CinemaBlend sætter Close spørgsmålstegn ved beslutningen.
"It's hard to think of it without him. It's sad. And it brings up, I think, some very tricky issues around this movement. I bring it up with every woman I talk to because I want to know what people feel, you know? Is that truly what we should be doing? Especially in this case, somebody who's known to ruin people for something that they wrote in a totally different context, what, ten, 12 years ago? What are we going to do, go back to our pasts and make sure that everything we said was politically correct? Who can live like that? I just feel that there's something wrong about that."
Men Close er ikke færdig. Hun har nogle ganske dybe tanker om den menneskelige tilstand, og mener at et studie som Disney bør respektere at alle har skeletter i skabet.
"We are very flawed creatures. Look at what we're doing to our fucking world. It was a question I was talking about to somebody last night - you have somebody that actually has the creative energy to create something like Guardians of the Galaxy. He's a flawed human being. He was a, you know, cocky asshole back then, and was saying things to provoke people. Does that negate him as an artist? I don't think so. I personally do not think so. Or else we're taking down buildings and paintings - you know, take down all the Picassos, he treated women terribly. If it's going to be a lasting cultural revolution, which is a big change, if... We've got to take into consideration human nature."
Er du enig med Close?
