Hollywood will speak and they will listen?...
personally, i do not understand the fuss that is surrounding this whole 'gwyneth paltrow is not worthy to play sylvia plath' debate from some people...
in a nutshell, i think that its easy to say that NOBODY is worthy to play ANYBODY ELSE in any type of media ever, simply because nobody can ever totally be 100% accurate on someone else...
all these people can do is TRY to serve up a tiny fragment of the person they are portraying...i think thats about the maximum anybody can ever do...
whilst i agree that gwyneth paltrow would not have been seen in my mind as the perfect person to play plath, who could have been seen as perfect?...whatever the outcome, people will always have their opinions on the left and right sides...and they are completely entitled to them...
as for the whole narrative surrounding this film, it will be interesting to see...
something gets me, though...people have already said how it would/will be impossible to make a film based on the romantic frolics of hughes and plath because so little is known about the actual subject of it...well, couldnt the same argument also be applied to the fact that it would be impossible to make a film based purely on plaths suicide?...after all, nobody could actually ever fully know what plath was thinking...i mean, really thinking...its all just guesswork in reality...
the greatest thing that should come out of this film is a lot more people will be turned on and tuned in to the works of BOTH plath and hughes...
and for that i say yay! :)...
