      I have also a quite particular question - just in case you watched the Shera remake by Neolle Stevenson on Netflix or if you're planning to do. Lots of people are talking about it and love it for their lesbian characters (which I agree to mostly). But I haven't heard people adressing disability issues in the show as such. It has (mild spoilers for season 3) a disabled villian and I do see ableism in that characters quest. That characters arch does change in season 5, to me into a more positive way. But I still have my doubts if that really changes the ableism.
      Of course I understand if you don't want to watch or review it. Just in case you'd want, I'd be very interested in your opinion.

    I LOVE having disabled/neurodivergent characters !! I have a RIDICULOUS amounts of autistic headcanons, my favourites being Amy Santiago (B99), and Entrapta (She-Ra). The Entrapta one was actually confirmed !! She-Ra is my favourite show (the 2018 version), partially because I wanna live in that world (without the war and all. After season five she-ra please). It has so much diversity without making a big deal about it (out of all the main characters, only one ISN'T a POC ! and there are no characters that are 'confirmed' as straight, two of the characters in a straight relationship are actually bisexual !! Plus a very, very long list of lesbians). I don't know how I just talked so much about She-Ra on a video that,,, isn't about She-Ra.

YoSamdySam has a great video on autistic headcanons, if you haven't seen it :) Also, the game Verdant Skies is amazing for having loads of diversity (including an autistic character) without ever explicitly stating labels or making a big song and dance out of it. Just casual, honest representation that doesn't gloss over or make a big deal of disability and everything it brings is such a breath of fresh air.

    There are no disabled people because Ryan Murphy and other writers like him at best, don't think about it. At worst they feel that it would detract from the other "more important " messages. They don't relate to disability, so it "does nothing for them."

    The Willson part was actually why I stopped watching the show. I knew nothing of the real history but the things he does in the show are horrible and yet he is portrayed in this semi-positive light as if he somehow was the victim of it all and not a perpetrator of sexual abuse? And after he gives this teary speech to Rock he... still continues to force him into sexual activities he isn't comfortable with? I stopped watching after this part so I don't know what happens next but that was really horrible.

      At first it bother me too, but I guess the point the series is trying to make is that if at important points in our life we are brave and kind the world would be a better place; so Wilson also had to have a reckoning moment, and the kindness to understand that "hurt people hurt people", and if he had honestly checked himself and change and stop seeing himself as the monster he was told all gay people were, then we should too be kind and also see past his monsterous behavior and into his humanity.

    • @maitesoto1953
      @maitesoto1953 4 года назад +13

      That's really weird, I'm half way through the show and I don't think Wilson is portrayed in a semi-positive light at all. Do people openly chastise him for being an abuser? Well, no, but that happens in real life too (for how long was Weinstein able to do what he wanted without anyone saying a thing?). I think it shows the horrible truth that people can get away with anything if they're powerful enough, which isn't right at all but is true. And that emotional speech he gave about his first love, I felt it was him being open about his past but simultaneously using it to manipulate Roy (whether consciously or not)

    I really liked the semi-redemption arc of Willson, to be honest. I loved that the show gave us a sort of closure about what happened between Rock and him (especially in ep.3), and I love what that states : that if you've done terrible things, denial isn't the only way for you to cope with what you did, you will never erase the past but you can still build a somewhat better life for yourself. And that's important. Because in our society, an awful lot of us are pushed or at least encouraged to do terrible things (for money, for sex, for power, etc.), and people who did need role models too. This is a show about courage, which is here to give us role models. And I appreciate that they didn't back away from giving people who did terrible things a role model too, because they need some, they need courage, they need to face what they did - for themselves and for society.
    Also I loved the dialogue between him and Rock at the end : Rock doesn't forgive him, he _says_ what it still does to him, the nightmares and such. And it's hard for Willson but he accepts it. And he's allowed to find a way to do something good that means something to him and that can help a lot of people. It's not about forgiveness, it's about being a better person. I personally feel like we shouldn't alienate every horrible person on the Earth, it does us a disservice, because this way they'll never change.

    I feel weird about calling this “revisionist history” maybe that has a different connotation in the US, but no one is trying to pretend this is actually what it was like (what I think of when you say “revisionist history”) rather it’s Reimagined history, or historical fiction (I LOVE historical fiction). To me, revisionist implies trying to deceive or mislead someone, which I don’t feel is going on here.

      I am a brazilian historian and here we use the term "revisionist history" to describe the attempts, usually made by the most conservative social groups, of erasing certain portions of the past so that their version of it is considered the final truth (misleading people, just as you put it). In Brazil, the "revisionist history" excludes LGBTs, alleges that the Nazi regime was left-wing, and that the military dictatorship experienced between 1964-1985, responsible for torturing and killing thousands of people, was actually a "good" government. It's certainly something most historians fight against.

    Yes! Give us more videos about disability in media! And you know, all other videos that you want to do. :D I seriously can't get enough of watching your videos! It feels really amazing to have you as a role model (I'm 28, but I can still have you as a role model, right? O:) ), since I was born hearing impaired and one of my doctors suspect that I might have EDS and that would explain why my body behaves as it does (right now my diagnosis is Hypermobility Syndrome with chronic pain and a whole list of other things). I have also come to terms with me eventually having to get a wheel chair in the future, thanks to your series about mobility aids. We have a lot in common and you just seems so amazing!
    Sorry for fan girling a bit, but you are such an inspiration!
    Love, from Sweden.

    I haven't finished watching "Hollywood" yet (only heard about it yesterday and started watching it today) but I definitely watched the video until the end ;). I find discussions about representation in media very interesting, and really enjoyed the video !! And a big yes to the videos about disability in media videos and to the Tallulah Bankhead one !!

  • @sawyersweetart1042
    @sawyersweetart1042 4 года назад +3

    Very much for more discussion of disability in media here! Of all kinds. Though I do have the question of how that would be defined re: mental health. Would it have to be as dramatic as something in A Beautiful Mind or Three Faces of Eve, or would less dramatic, but still life impacting, instances of things like ongoing depression or anxiety be included?
    It seems like on my side of the pond (U.S.) that it's incredibly difficult to be classified as disabled to start with- let alone for something like severe depression or anxiety, no matter how life impacting it is.
    I don't know where I'd draw that line, honestly. I almost feel like it would have to be a series of videos. I'm definitely not opposed to that, but that is a lot of heavy topics to research! 🙃

    Spoilers or not, seeing this mini series is an interesting and thought provoking look into what an alternative Hollywood ( and society) could have possibly looked like. This video is a fantastic compliment to the mini series. Highlighting and separating historical fact from historical fiction is eye opening. While 'Hollywood' offers glimmers of hope, delving deeper into the real world goings on does illuminate how little progress has been made in television/cinema ...
    [ turns to the right, as Jessica does so sassily ] BTW, I wouldn't absolutely love a video about disability in media 👍 ...
    Thank you so much for this fun, informational, entertaining, and educational video. I love watching and listening to you, Jessica. Always, always enjoy. A true pleasure! And you look ravishing in red. Vintage glamour! You are the definition!! Wishing you all the best! Take care! Lovely as always 👍🤟💝

    Would definitely love videos about disability representation in media! Something that I found pretty off about Hollywood was that for show where the whole plot was basically getting Camille the role she deserves and how important and ground breaking it is she is centred in the story SO LITTLE!!! Like she is not one of the main people on screen and that is so weird when the entire show is based around her.

    Jessica, thank you so much for your detailed review of “Hollywood”. I do agree that the writers if the show missed the mark by not including a person with a disability, particularity as Ryan Murphy cast a character who really was in a wheelchair, Ali Stroker on Glee. (who, by the way, went on to win a Tony Award for her performance of Ado Annie in the revival of the musical “Oklahoma” in 2019). Perhaps someday all movies and television shows will included people with disabilities as members of focus groups to add a bit if realism to the fictional stories. I am, as always, thankful to be part of your RUclips community. Tricia B 😀😀😉

  • @aranockcooke98
    @aranockcooke98 4 года назад +9

    I wish I was surprised that disabled actors are not even included. I am happy the show is pushing for diversity but disability portrayal is at best barely existant and at worst horribly misrepresentative or used for villains. I would love to see a video by you on the tropes associated with disabled characters

    I'd love to see more videos about disability in media! I'm a writer myself hoping to fill my stories with diversity of all kinds... And I'm disabled, but there are so many different types of disabilities and tropes... I need to do all the learning I can to do this right!

  • @thomasc8482
    @thomasc8482 4 года назад +1

    More videos on disability in media please! Only recently discovered your channel, but have been binge watching them and the new video today really made my day, you're a joy to watch!
    Also as a victim of (childhood) sexual assault, yeah... not sure what to make of Jim Parsons character, but then media loves to be quite flippant with that subject so I've learned to skip those scenes (or avoid them altogether)

  • @kiarrasayshi
    @kiarrasayshi 4 года назад

    Great and thoughtful video! I don't know if I'll ever check out this show, even though I love old Hollywood and all the representation it puts forth. Revisionist history done in this way can just really grind my gears. There are people who wanted changes like this in Hollywood. The implication here to me is that if they would've just tried harder, it could've happened, which is totally disrespectful of the structures in place to prevent such a film and culture change to take place. I love history, but those who don't want you videos or who are interested enough to do other further research might come away from a show like this thinking it would've been easy to change the world if just this one thing had happened. I love how you debunk that in your video!

  • @vwalker9264
    @vwalker9264 4 года назад

    i'd love to see more videos on disability in cinema. breakdowns of things like clairvoyant blind, no/low empathy villains, stuff like darth vader's respirator sounds being there to make him scarier (there's a lot to unpack with just this one character tbh), Very Special Episodes, etc. and then the chance to put the word out about the good portrayals? very good idea i think

    @llm210 4 года назад +1

    Absolutely I would Jessica! I have mild cerebral palsy and if you search Netflix there is 1 I repeat 1 film with a protagonist with CP!
    The way this particular disability is narrated is that we have to explain our disability all the time, but it goes further bc as a woman people are fascinated with if you can have kids etc. 😐
    It would be nice for a character to just be able to mention once or twice about their CP, hell make light of it as often I do and then carry on as normal. Sometimes something as simple as sometimes seeing the character both with and without a walking stick of different days would be accurate.

    Amazing history lesson and review. Have to watch this show now. Arguably though, Lucille Ball became the first woman to head and own a major Hollywood studio when she took over Desilu Productions in the 1960s. Also, way back in 1919 Mary Pickford helped found United Artists and ran productions for it. More like this please!
