Maybe the studios don’t/shouldn’t tell young women what to think or say about womanhood anymore.
You paint with a broad stroke don’t you?

Or perhaps she’s just saying what she herself thinks. Either way, it’s not a big deal. It certainly didn’t cause a fuss when the interviews were first given—over a year ago, if I’m not mistaken.But again - she’s just saying what she thinks people want to hear (with a certain arrogance) and nobody seems to be stopping her.
Well, at least you’re acknowledging what’s going on here. People are peeved with Disney and are just looking for things or people to attach their anger to. It seems a terribly cynical and unproductive approach to me.You re also framing this as The People V. Rachel when it’s really The People V. Disney. She just happens to be the face for now… until the next thing. She’s just a reflection of what many of us think is wrong with the company right now.

Probably because people didn’t hear the interviews a year ago. I certainly didn’t. And of course Disney is more scrutinized today than a year ago due to their compounding poor decisions.
She did not win an Academy Award.The box office of a movie is not the end all be all to if the movie is good or not… just look at the Transformers franchise for evidence of thst…she was excellent in West Side story and has the Oscar to prove it
It’s not about making excuses for her. It’s about getting the supposed adults in the room to think of her as they would any other individual of that age (I can’t be the only one here with young relatives who sometimes speak in unnuanced terms). People are holding her words to a less forgiving standard than is frequently applied to the rhetoric of today’s public officials and elected leaders. There’s something extremely weird about that.She's 22, not 2. Quit making excuses for her.
Never mind… my dyslexia mind went blank… sorry about that… the rest of my post standsShe did not win an Academy Award.
That's actually an interesting point. West side story, no one cared about. Shazam was a large failure. It might not be her fault, but you really don't want to be the person in Hollywood that the movies you are in consistently fail. So you now have snow white and the hunger games prequel coming up. If both fail, you are now the person with 4 high profile failures in a row. Couple that with her perceived poking the bear, I can see studios avoiding working with her.All she's done so far is star in movie bombs left and right. And her next 2 look horrible as well.
Thanks for sharing. We can now add Cinderella to the list of remakes whose stars “insulted” the original version yet somehow avoided the censure that Zegler has received.
Well to be fair, that was well before everyone was sick of Disneys remakes. If she made those comments today, I'm sure it would have been criticized. If the focus on Disney wasn't on the lagging box office, this probably just gets some eye rolls and people move on. But we are in a completely different time with Disney than the plus 8yrs ago when Cinderella was released.Thanks for sharing.

I find that interesting, as one of my biggest criticisms of the Lilly James version of Cinderella was that her character was even more of a pushover than the 1950 original. The original version felt more assertive and subtly pushed back at her stepmother while the Lilly James version — though well acted — just sort of let things happen because she was too nice.Thanks for sharing.

Quoting Lily James: "This girl isn't waiting for a prince. . . . She is in charge of her own destiny in that her strength and her courage that come from within make her almost a superhero."
For another—and as I've mentioned several times before—we have information to the effect that there will be some sort of romantic connection between Snow White and a new character by the name of Jonathan.
In a different interview with the Extra TV reporter, Miss Zegler already dismissed that character and said he might be cut out of the movie entirely. Snow White doesn't need a romantic angle because she's on a leadership journey, after all.
"We have a different approach to what a lot of people, I'm sure, will assume is a love story, just because we, like, cast a guy in the movie.... It's one of those things that I think everyone's going to have their assumptions about what it's going to be. It's really not about a love story at all. Which is really, really wonderful. And whether or not she finds love along the way is anybody's guess until 2024. All of Andrew's scenes could get cut, who knows? It's Hollywood baby!" -Rachel Zegler
How much younger? I’m 41. I think she is extremely annoying and unlikable. She’s just being Hollywood- living in that bubble and saying what she thinks everyone wants to hear.
If her objective is to raise interest in the movie by being controversial in comments, off script presentation or just attempting to be edgy, she is not doing well at it. She is not exciting or even interesting the potential audience but rather causing people to yawn and wait for yet another live action remake to go to D+.
To be fair, all the opening song in BatB does is show every single person in town is a jerk (Belle included).Nothing Emma Watson said about the original Belle was untrue. The whole first song is about how weird she was because she wanted to read and wasn't in a hurry to get married. It's not an odd or critical take.
