I so agree with the actors. They held to their beliefs or to their characters or to what they knew was best for their audiences, in the case of The Rock. I say, good for them. Their decisions were the right ones. I am especially glad that actresses now have the power to say no to topless scenes.
0:40 Imagine going to court and saying, "Your honor, she knew she would be asked to go topless in the film. We ask for a court mandate for her to go topless or pay a fine for breach of contract. How could you not think, "I'm the baddie, here."
I have imagined an added ending scene in the Shawshank Redemption prior to Red meeting Andy on the beach: I picture Red walking into a small Mexican cantina and restaurant in Zihuatanejo, modest suitcase in hand, inquiring about an "Americano by the name of Mr. Stevens". The waitress (who owns the establishment with her husband) at first reacts guarded and suspicious. When she asks "why" Red states who he is. The woman then excitedly calls for her husband in Spanish and tells him that this is "Andy's friend, Red, from Shawshank prison". Red is then told by the husband "Andy told us to expect you some day. Please, have a meal on us. You are our most honored guest! When you finish you will find your friend a short walk down the beach working on his boat". Red, floored by the hospitality, enjoys his meal, basking in what freedom actually means, and then goes to find Andy on the beach. The entire scene would have taken less than eight minutes but would have been so satisfying. And this would have worked much better than having "Red" play the harmonica. That would have been cheesy.

I've read the Bond producer's son, seeing "Jaws" onscreen, asked his dfad, "Why can't Jaws be a good guy?" This resulted in the character being returned and that film's blessing him with a love interest!
When I first saw Moonraker, I was so happy for "Jaws" and I loved how petite she was. It was such a great contrast. It also showed that he could be gentle and kind to someone who, compared to him, was incredibly fragile.
I Loved when in "Moonraker", Drax in going On about his Genetic Purity, and there will be No Room for the Les than Perfect, and Jaws, knowing He is less than Perfect, looks down at Dolly, knowing HE Loves her, but Drax wouldn't. No Exposition necessary, Everyone knows he Defects.
Kate Mulgrew, who played Captain Janeway on Star Trek: Voyager, refused to a love scene in which she is semi-nude (or so I heard) because she took her role as a role model for girls seriously. Far too many modern tv shows and films show explicit sex so graphically it's uncomfortable.
The Rock definitely picked up his "sending moviegoers home happy" from Wrestlemania. That was former WWE owner Vince McMahon wanting to send fans home happy.
I'm soooo glad that Dwayne Johnson was adamant about letting George live! He was right, losing George would have broke my heart and I would never watch that movie again! I now watch it all the time! I love that movie!
About the nude and sex scenes there are actors who put that clause in their contracts (like Lena Headey - Game of Thrones Cercei) so there is no problem but I suppose some of them fear that if they did they wouldn't get the job which is probably the case. In my opinion actors should be protected like the other workers so they shouldn't be obligated to feel uncomfortable on the job and the law should always protect people dignity even if they themselves don't care about it and frankly it's not necessary to watch people having sex movies and tv shows have made us all voyeurs.
If an actor takes a role which has nudity ALREADY IN THE DAMN SCRIPT and then they refuse when that scene comes up to be shot had better have the most solid, irrefutable excuse for themselves, otherwise they should be sent to prison for fraud, pay damages to production company, and get black-listed by the industry. I had such a role once. But I did it because I said I would for the part. It wasn't easy for me at all. I still grimace when I think of it. But reneging on the deal and cheating the production company and everyone involved was absolutely never even a fleeting option in my mind.
An actor/actress should know what dangers and what level of nudity is involved. If they take the job and don't do it, they should be held to breach of contract and required to pay for filming expenses to recast the part and rerecord filming to that point. It is BS to change their minds later and hold the studios hostage.
It's just the opposite, they have no principles. They read the script in advance, knowing there would be nude scenes, and accept the role only to later decide they didn't want to. I would respect them for not taking the role because of their principles.
Seriously, the end of the 20th century and they can't devise simpler ways to induce tears in an actor? There must be numerous chemical methods that are much better than resorting to emotional and psychological abuse. Anyway, what kind of an actor has not learned to induce tears on cue?
Nude love scenes are superfluous soft porn anyway. They serve no dramatic purpose, and are inserted only for cheap titillation. Producers that think it is necessary probably have personal issues themselves.
I undestand some who refused to film scene. I was really supprised Jim played Jesus! Really. Myke's decision to make Shrek scotish is legendary! He was completely right. Kiel was right too. I fully support Glenn on her decision. Strong woman lead is strong woman lead. I understand Nathalie for water being cold😀She really does look like man-women type😁 She's cool. Really.Ben was just supporting his team. Nothing wrong with that. I think Gal was right too. Ralph was right too. M can never be the villain. Shame Denzel refused to kiss Julia just because some people didn't like it. Francis shouldn't do that to Vinona. I completely understand and support why Anthony and Keeanu refused to call her a whore
There was no need for Blunt to go topless in Sicario but why would she sign on to the movie knowing that scene was in it? Nevertheless, I applaud her for making the decision. Great actress.
In my opinion if something is clearly stated in your contract not implicit but stated and you agree and sign then you should have to follow through with what you agreed to do. Even though I agree that some of the decisions made by the actors made the movie better in the end and I’m personally much happier with the result. They still violated their contracts in some cases.
Most of these modern instances should have been explicitly worked out in the contract before filming even started. Refusing over safety concerns like inadequate shark protection is much more understandable than altering the ending of a story or changing your mind about flashing boobies after taking the booby flashing money. These are often $100 million+ productions so there should be no last minute shenanigans from either side.
hearing the scene of the Flash accidently falling on top of Wonder Woman was funny as well as seeing a picture of that scene.......the fact Gal Gadot..refused to do that scene because it sexualzises her character...was a interesting reason. even though the character was falling for Steve Trevor....as she does in the comics..............still that scene would mean nothing with the Flash character. but congrats to stand by her belief.
All of these nude scenes are really unwarranted but the directors get to peek at beautiful women and use the movie as the excuse. It's not really needed.
I don’t know why everyone is so uptight when it comes to nudity in movies when it’s a natural thing in most countries, it’s no big deal but here in the United States I want to so uptight about it back in the 80s you see it all the time people need to loosen up. What is the problem is all this woke oh crap, it needs to stop mainly because it’s only about 1% of the population. Alexis cares about that stuff. Everybody else is sick of it
So let me understand. William Shatner in 1960s forces studio to broadcast a kiss with Lt Uhura. First interracial kiss on TV, fans either did not care, or loved it. But Denzel W fears backlash if his character kisses a beautiful white woman? Racism is 180 degrees different.m
The backlash he feared was not racism per se, that a white woman wasn't worth kissing. It was allowing black women to indulge the idea that the handsome black man could belong to them, not be taken away by a white woman who already has so much privilege over them.
As a fellow INFP, it didn't surprise me a bit to hear that Keanu refused to make Winona cry by hurting her in real life. When I heard that Coppola started calling her a whore, I thought that was awful. I chuckled when I heard that wearing a Red Sox hat was such a big deal to Ben Affleck, but that's his thing, and I can only assume there's a backstory that's meaningful to him. If someone is uncomfortable with something, that's a boundary. And people have a right to their boundaries.
I mean if I saw Ben Affleck in public and he was wearing a NYY cap. I would immediately think oh that's not him he wouldn't wear that hat. Essentially it would be the perfect disguise.
You hired a me her heard and didn't expect her to lie and cause a problem......how did you know of amber heard but weren't aware of her attitude or reputation....???
@user-dy7fd8of7l yeah it was just wild to me..I've only ever heard it called the bawk or bock- like rhymes with dock..hearing the L caught my attention..so for you it's the opposite? Wild.
@14:17 oh, so racism. But if a white actor said no to kissing a BIPOC, they would be cancelled in a heartbeat. See racism is bad unless it is racism against someone other than who normally gets racist treatment.
I despise actors who take a role and then refuse a scene, for instance, if you accepted the role knowing there is a topless scene do it. If you don't want to go topless let someone else have the role.
IF the scene is not really necessary (most nude scene are just for T&A and serve little or no real plot purpose) then the actors are well within their rights to refuse to do them. IF the actor in the role works well and helps the film, then they SHOULD be allowed to refuse worthless scenes. And sometimes a director makes a script change AFTER the actor is cast in the film. There are also scenes when a body double will work and either the director or fellow actor is just being a jerk.
Robin Williams and Jim Carrey are some of the best actors! Caviezel is one of the worst antisemitic actor along with Mel Gibson!! Will Smith is one of the most narcissistic and obnoxious actor there is, glad is not casted much anymore!
Do you agree with these actors' decisions to not film these scenes?
