These pictures of Jessica Chastain are from The Martian premiere and I used the one where you could best see her rack, so off top you know I’m part of the problem. But we all knew that. No need to get into it. It’s good to be self-aware. Anyway, the point here is that Jessica Chastain wants women in movies who don’t wear makeup or something. Sounds boring.
“If you look at films like Elektra and Aeonflux, the problem that studios have is that they try to make kickass women very sexualised. They have to be in some catsuit,” she tells this week’s edition of Radio Times. “But if you look at the most incredible female roles, like Ripley in Alien, she is a very sexy woman but she’s not wearing a lot of make-up. She’s in a T-shirt and jeans. What’s sexy about her is how capable she is. Same with Jennifer Lawrence in Hunger Games – she’s not wearing a catsuit, either.” The Martian star went on to stress that cinema audiences are more interested in seeing an “intelligent” character, rather than one who is reliant on her sexuality. “Studios have misjudged it in the past, and thought audiences weren’t interested in seeing a woman in an action role who’s a capable, intelligent woman and isn’t only leaning on her sex.”
Is this “leaning in”? I think this is leaning in. Besides the fact that Katniss isn’t wearing a catsuit but is supposed to have “olive skin and long, dark hair”, I guess Jessica Chastain makes some valid points. I’m sure more women will stop wearing make up in movies or when they go to premieres or on a date and stuff now. I bet it starts tomorrow.
