Two-time Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain spoke with TODAY’s Hoda Kotb about how she spoke up on behalf of fellow actress Octavia Spencer to help her get five times her pay for an upcoming film they’re in together. “I assumed a woman like Octavia Spencer would be compensated fairly for the work she’s done, for the awards she’s received,” said Chastain, whose latest movie, “Woman Walks Ahead,” hits theaters this week.

I fell in love with her when I saw her cry tears of happiness for her fellow co-stars from The Help when they won their awards. She's super sweet and genuine

It seems like assuming that she's (such) a wonderful human being is an easy way to kick poor people while they're down, because there are probably a lot of poor people that you would think are bad people (for example, you might think that the poor people with the same politics as you are fine, but also think that the poor people with different politics as you are bad people), in which case, those poor people would not only have to suffer through being poor, but also, simultaneously, socially, by people like you who would put them down way more than you would put Jessica Chastain down, even though she enjoys so much luxury over those poor people and, due to her wealth, arguably, metaphorically stole their hard-earned wages using capitalism as the vehicle for it. Sure, rich people can speak against capitalism as penance for being rich, but does that make them wonderful human beings? Let's take an average man with an average job. If he supports socialism, for example, you could say he is making up for coming from a privileged gender, but does that make him a wonderful human being, or does that just make him an average human being that's doing what he's supposed to do anyway? Are people really wonderful for just doing what they're supposed to do while they continue to enjoy large amounts of privilege? Is an average man with an average job wonderful for supporting socialism, or is he just doing what a privileged person is supposed to do, and is Jessica Chastain wonderful for the politics that she supports, or is she just doing what a privileged person is supposed to do anyway? Doing what you are supposed to do might keep you from being a bad person, but it doesn't seem to make you a wonderful one, especially when you are still someone who, on a daily basis, enjoys massive amounts of privilege that the system gives you over other people who are just as deserving of it but had bad luck and/or were treated unfairly.

Look up the movie 355. Chastain hyped it up as this all female tour-de-force. It had a budget of $75M, but only made $18M at the box office. At the end of the day, women don’t want to see women entertain them. That goes for comedy, movies, or sports. The only thing they’ll support are singers.

Why is Hollywood so sjw now? Every movie has to have sjw propaganda in it. Most "white" people have no problem with women and minorities. But they make it feel so forced now. Like you have to have a strongwilled heroin in the movie, preferably in the lead. And we have to make sure we lace throughout the movie "people of color". If it makes sense to the story then thats all that should matter. But dont do it for the sake of diversity and feminism. Its like when you see obvious product placement in a movie. Its just annoying. Let me focus on the story and not on your sjw mission to not be "racist".

Liberals and their same old propaganda, gets tiresome. Woman were far more equal before Democrats came along and began to oppress us with Feminism and everything else they have put into place, under the the guise of helping us. Instead they have unbalanced society and created a mess that works for nobody but them. It's how the keep power. Except It's not working any more. Us people in the real world, who have to live with the mess, see right through the lies now. Toxic liberalism is going down. We can all, only be equal, if we have equal access to liberty and freedom. Not the tyranny of socialism.

It's a good virtue signal, but would anybody have complained if she was paid more? She's a talented actress who's won multiple awards, received two academy award nominations while starring in multi award winning and multi academy award nominated movies. That, and many other factors determine how much power you have for negotiating pay, not race or gender.
