[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Sean Baker, who won Best Director this year, simulated sex with his wife to give Mikey Madison an idea of how he wanted scenes to look like in "Anora." [/b]

Film is a visual medium that can require some unusual behind the scenes methods to achieve the intended result, and Heath showing Blake one-second of that video is just so minor.

I know the pro-Lively people will say, "Well, the difference is that Mikey consented." But even the mere suggestion of certain things or the mere asking of questions was enough for Blake to include these instances in her complaint.  [/quote]

That's revolting, sorry.

But yeah, consent is relevant. Also relevant is the fact that Heath showed Lively the video AFTER they had already shot the birth scene. It was not shown to her as an instruction for how they wanted the scene to look. If that's what they wanted to do, they could have suggested it and made sure she was cool with it (just as I sure hope Sean Baker presumably did with Madison) before the scene was shot.

Also, I just want to add that it's insane to me that they wanted to use Heath's wife's birth experience and video as a model for how the birth scene looked. To be clear, this was a movie about a woman who has a kid with a guy who is physically and emotionally abusing her, and it is the birth of her daughter that makes her realize she cannot stay with him and needs to leave (the phrase "it ends with us" refers to the character's pledge to her baby). It's just really weird that they felt that was appropriate inspiration for the movie.[/quote]

DP.  Agree, and also a tub birth has nothing to do with the filmed birth scene. You are more likely to be naked in a tub because you can’t wear a one piece bathing suit to give birth and what pregnant mom wants to deal with a bikini.  That has absolutely no relevance to how the majority of fully “normal” American women give birth in hospitals with their feet in stirrups and wearing a hospital gown fully covering their tops.

Insisting on showing this birth video after the scene was filmed is just ridiculous behavior from professionals who were in a position of power and responsibility and who should have known better. [/quote]
