[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

After seeing the video and not just the image, I think I get what Baldoni was trying to convey. In the water birth where Heath is cradling his wife, it’s such a tender and emotional moment. I think Baldoni wanted to show the complexity of the love between Ryle and Lily, which is true of most DV situations in real life. Instead we end up with a scene in which Ryle is just holding lily’s hand. The closeness and emotion is not as palpable. Honestly Blake is just not that great of an artist and there are no Oscars in her future, especially if she can’t even have a creative discussion without accusing someone of harassment.[/quote]

Nobody (but you) has indicated that showing Lively the water birth video was supposed to be about “the complexity of love between Ryle and Lily.”  That is something you have made up in your own head, based on nothing but your own desire to justify sharing this video with Lively as totes normal. The precursor to this discussion w Lively was how all “normal” women wanted to give birth naked and how Lively should be naked for the birth scene, which already had been shot.

I also find it weird how you are equating the closeness in the video between Heath and his wife as similar to “the complexity of love between Ryle and Lily.”  I’m not sure exactly how Ryle was going to be doing anything besides holding Lily’s hand unless you wanted Baldoni to slip up behind Lively there in the stirrups and force himself into a cradle hug in the scene. lily wasn’t doing a tub birth. And man, if Baldoni *wanted* her to be doing a tub birth with him cradling her from behind, when the two were barely speaking at the time of the birth, that would just be totally insane. But also somewhat consistent with how Baldoni seems to have wanted to creepily represent himself/Ryle as being violent DV abusers who were also really good guys by making their partners simultaneously orgasm and being total hotties etc etc. *blech*

It’s not nobody but me, because you are responding to at least two different posters who liked Heath’s video.  We don’t know what exactly was suggested but whatever it was, it wasn’t pursued because Blake said no.

Intimacy isn’t creepy to me.  I actually feel bad for you that you are so threatened by it.[/quote]

She's exactly was was suspected earlier. A childless, husbandless, cat lady, that spends her days feigning shock and disgust at a liar's expense because she's never been through child birth and really thinks in her microscopic mind that a 1 second home birthing video is akin to sexual harassment in any logical woman's world.[/quote]
