#dwd is just sex and banking on the grotesque fascination with an on-set romance

Harry read the script, knew it by heart, And then ardently sought out Tom’s part; A truthful performance— The subtext’s enormous— When you can’t speak your truth, speak through art.

#larry #harry #harry styles #my policeman #mp promo #actor harry #so we got worked up yesterday thinking we were getting an mp trailer today #but the ‘first look’ ended up being a vanity fair article with two movie stills #the article pretty brilliantly navigates the big gay elephant in the room #it recognizes harry’s earnestness in pursuing the role #and respects his nonparticipation in discussing his sexuality #but leaves a whole lot to be read clearly between lines #the director says harry’s too green to bring any artifice to the role #that he brings himself to the role #which doesn’t necessarily mean gay part = gay actor #but i don’t think the ‘inner turmoil’ he speaks of is about which nail polish color to wear #the contrast between mp promo and dwd promo is jarring after just one article #mp is sincere and purposeful and reverential (of the story and the actors) and professional #dwd is just sex and banking on the grotesque fascination with an on-set romance #which if reversed (older male director and young novice female lead) would be chastized #but olivia’s version of feminism just takes old gross boy’s club rules and puts a skirt on them and thinks it’s empowerment #anyway #i hope harry’s acting is well received in all his endeavors #but i hope mp absolutely fucking smashes it #speaking of smashing it #louis’ concert in the philippines has been moved to a venue that holds 16000-ish versus 2000-ish! #limerick-hs #june 9 #2022
