What the hell is she doing? She knocked back the role in Fatal Attraction because it was 'demeaning to women', yet now she is advertising a pointless face cream. I'm very disappointed in you lady! This has really put me off her. I thought she had real integrity but she's chasing money like the rest of them.
shareI don't really follow your logic. How is it bad in any way for a woman to use skin care products? o_O In my opinion, any woman who loves and respects herself takes care of her health, body, face, skin. If you don't use special products and feel fine with that, then good for you. It doesn't mean no one should.
As for the ad itself, I'm personally very happy she did it. It was lovely seeing her recommend a certain product, and she looked amazing in doing so.
There's nothing wrong with a woman using face cream at all. My problem is that MR has always presented herself as a feminist and is now advertising an 'anti ageing' and 'line removal' cream in an advert which is very cheesy,nonsensical and promotes the idea of ageing and wrinkles as something to be prevented and avoided. It just goes to show that any dog will bark for the right price.
shareStanding up for women's rights and wanting to look good are not two mutually exclusive things.
Aging isn't fun - at least for most women out there, who enjoy their wrinkle-free skin - and pretending otherwise would be hypocritical. So if there are ways to prevent aging, why not?
As far as the commercial goes, whether it was good or cheesy is a matter of personal taste, so to each their own. ^ ^
You clearly just don't get it. The advert and many like them are saying to women that ageing and wrinkles are bad. This does go against womens rights! If MR looks so wonderful and line free, then it isn't down to the product she is advertising which has only been out a few years. Surely the one we should buy is the one that has caused her to be line free, not a new one she decided to pimp.
The face cream isn't the real issue. The real problem I have with this is that MR has been someone who has had real privacy in her private life and chosen her roles with real care, rather than just looking for big bucks. The irony now is that she's totally selling out on an advert which is actually anti-woman.
Please MLane, do not reply to this. I will not read it, as I prefer to discuss things with people who are intelligent.
I get perfectly well that it's your opinion, and that you're totally blowing it out of proportion. :|
For your information, the very name of an anti-aging cream gives you a clue on what its main purpose is - to prevent. o_O
For another thing, it's her decision what movies she makes, what ads she makes. You're totally entitled to your opinion, but you seem to miss the point of what an opinion is. How about you chill, before going on a forum and calling out someone's intelligence because you happen to have different opinions? This is a public forum, anyone can post their opinions on it, and no one's obliged to read messages they don't want to. But telling someone not to post, or suggesting they're not intelligent says more about you than it says about others.
Isn't she advertising Oil of Ulay, nor Boots cream?
shareLolly,
BECAUSE she knocked back Fatal Attraction she has to do a face-cream ad. The woman has no work. She's a great talent - who miscalculated her career.
Speaking of 'intelligence', it's a person's own individual responsibility to exercise it, and to be mindful of being hoodwinked by marketing techniques...
For somebody who prizes intelligence so highly, you don't appear to demonstrate much of it, yourself. You clearly have no faith in your own or other people's ability to ignore and discount commercials that do not align with their personal worldview.
