How do i go on with my life after watching that

Barbie (2023) has wlw references. Bombshell (2019) existed before Barbie (2023). And I'm seeing people linking Bombshell with Barbie just to say that Kate McKinnon predicted Margot Robbie as Barbie, BUT in BOMBSHELL there is a scene where they sleep together. So, Weirdo Barbie slept with Stereotypical Barbie.

wtf!!! I could not believe

Finally saw Bombshell and like, on the one hand the inner psyche of female conservative commentators genuinely fascinates me so I liked getting to see that explored onscreen. On the other hand, while the film certainly didn't frame these women as heroes beyond reproach, there was virtually no mention of the horrific racism and transphobia that they helped push during their tenures at Fox news.

Also, I get that the point of the film was supposed to be a commentary on sexual harassment in general rather than a "Fox news is bad and here's why" kind of movie, but like there's no way that exclusively white women were harassed at Fox. I love Margot Robbie and I think she did a fantastic job, but if her character had been a black or Latina woman she could have just been so much MORE, y'know? She could have represented the bigger picture.

I've seen the trailer for Bombshell, and while it looks interesting and I love Margot Robbie, am I the only one kinda cautious about these women being made into heroes? Megyn Kelly has said some vile racist shit. Gretchen Carlson has been really transphobic and racist in the past. Like I can't forget they were on Fox News, the awful right wing propaganda machine. Idk what they're like now, I don't follow their careers, I hope they've learned better. This movie just low-key screams White Feminism™ to me, and some of the reviews I've read say I'm not far off, which sucks. What happened to them was terrible and they deserve to be believed and tell their story. At the same time, I'm not gonna forget what they've said and done. Hopefully they've changed. If not, Ms. Kelly and Carlson, don't only fight for the rights of white women like you. Pondering done.

Bombshell (2019)

Bombshell is a 2019 American drama film directed by Jay Roach and written by Charles Randolph. The film stars Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, and Margot Robbie, and is based upon the accounts of the women at Fox News who set out to expose CEO Roger Ailes for sexual harassment. Actors John Lithgow, Kate McKinnon, Connie Britton, Malcolm McDowell, and Allison Janney appear in supporting roles.

The project was first announced in May 2017 following Ailes's death, with Roach confirmed as director the following year. Much of the cast joined that summer and filming began in October 2018 in Los Angeles. It entered into a limited release in the United States on December 13, 2019, before a wide release on December 20, by Lionsgate.

Bombshell's box office results were seen as a disappointment but it received generally favorable reviews, with critics praising the performances of the cast (particularly of Theron and Robbie) and the makeup and hairstyling but some criticizing its screenplay and inaccuracies. At the 92nd Academy Awards, it earned three nominations: Best Actress (Theron), Best Supporting Actress (Robbie), and Best Makeup and Hairstyling, winning the latter. The film also received two nominations at the 77th Golden Globe Awards (for Theron and Robbie), four at the 26th Screen Actors Guild Awards (Theron, Robbie, and Kidman, as well as Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture) and three at the 73rd British Academy Film Awards (Theron, Robbie, and Best Makeup and Hair). The theme song, "One Little Soldier", performed by Regina Spektor, won the 2020 "Best Song Written or Recorded for a Film" from the Guild of Music Supervisors Awards.
