    salma hayek is such an underrated actress that rarely gets credit for her craft because of the way she has been oversexualized by the industry and that's makes me so angry

    So happy to see her getting some of the long-overdue recognition she deserves. She's been such a trailblazing force in Hollywood for the right representation for Mexicans and Latinos in general, women empowerment, racism and she's actually pretty good at what she does, just take a look at Frida, Savages or Beatriz at Dinner... It's just that she has been neglected, overlooked or oversexualized by the big studios who thought a Mexican would never do it, but she did and she's working more than ever with huge movies coming up.

Beatriz at Dinner was really good but I wish it would have been longer. All the rest(besides Beatriz at Dinner)after Savages which was made in 2012 are forgettable bubble gum films. Bubble gum is so good but then quickly fades. The whole movie industry has really nosedived the last 3-4 years.. Animation, Sci-Fi, Cartoons, slap-stick comedy, and campy horror movies have replaced ACTUAL Films. The 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s were LOADED with good movies.

    That "creating Characters" is exactly why I love her acting so much.
    She fills the small gaps that are not covered or mainly important to the Story; but by that she makes thoose Characters "alive" and real.
    She fills all of thoose Characters - even if it is "just a Stripper" (it is in quotes for a reason) - with a inner strength and purpose to "be there" instead of "just pretending to be".
    Serendipity was the role I loved for that it depicted a Stripper in an empowered way instead in a derogative way - and afterwards she is not a bit relying on that beforehand as "character Trait" rather than beeing an intelligent member of the Party.
    Seriously, if ever someone thinks about a "Titania" (Queen of the Summer Court, Oberon's her Husband), there she is.

Also you don't understand the meaning of the word " gaslighting".
