Scarlett Johansson vents on film objectification: “exploration”

With almost 30 years of career, Scarlett Johansson vented on how the film industry is cruel to women and how, in much of his life, felt objectified in Hollywood .

In an interview with Vanity Fair, the actress recalled that, right after playing in “meetings and mismatches,” most of the roles offered to treat her as an “object.” “All the roles that offered me for years were ‘The Girlfriend’, ‘The Other Woman’, a Sexual Object – and I couldn’t get out of this cycle “Johansson revealed.“ It looked like something like, ‘I think that’s my identity as an actress.’ There was not much that I could do with it. ”

The actress said that at that time, even her agents could not help change the direction of the papers that came to her. “They were only reacting to the norm, because The industry always worked that way “.

Having grown in front of the screens, Johansson also talked about how it was to deal with the changes in front of the cameras and how much that influenced his mental health.

“You assume your sexuality and desires as part of your growth. You’re just wearing the clothes you like and expressing yourself, and suddenly think, ‘Wait, it’s not right!’ […] I didn’t want to say explored because I think it’s heavy. But I think it really It was a kind of exploitation “.

The Black Widow’s interpreter, one of Marvel’s most famous heroines, quoted Millie Bobby Brown as an example of how to deal with this kind of objectification, recalling the video that the actress posted by naming journalists who often attacked her.

“People were describing my body. They kept looking at my lips all the time!” He said. “She [Millie] They are only 21 years old and these journalists keep doing this. They can no longer act like this!
