Nicki Swift I still love SUCKER PUNCH no matter what anyone says.

I agree but she's also amazing in American Gods.

Cassandrabellex yea

The Uninvited

'Legend' Awesome flick.

Lol, I was about to comment that! They should change the title.

Why Hollywood Left Emily Browning Behind: Cause they offered her a lot of roles and she just said "no, thanks" so they felt obligated to kinda move on, despite still trying again from times to times.

Kat tttrrrrruuuueeee

She is so good in "American Gods" =)

Kat I know. All I'm seeing here is credible reasons she's not taking bigger roles. She's one of those truly reserved actresses that decades from now will be hailed.

right

Allen Frey my favorite part of these series is that inevitably after I see one it takes weeks or a month and theres a huge new movie, or other big deal project!

Allen Frey she's just picky with roles

Tina Walton in the UK up to IP up IP 9 Io in RV 10

She’s in American gods..

No, it's because she turns down a lot of scripts (100+) either because she doesn't like the character or because she's too tired or something of the sort.

Wdeemar Wdeemar and is lazy and turned down twilight.

I'd just like to point out that "the truth" is just her opinion. Over the years there have been quite a few box office movies with strong female roles but for some reason they like to only see the bad roles. Take Terminator or the Aliens franchise which both came out years ago but never seem to get any acknowledgement from the feminist point of view and that is only 2 off the top of my head. As for her "turning down Twilight", they even showed in the interview that she said she was never even asked to audition for the role so how is that her turning it down?

Roland Deschain uuuuh alien and terminator get plenty of recognition for being feminist. Except it's only movies and it was only recently that big box office loves with main characters that are female, so of course they were still gonna focus about bad roles

Wdeemar Wdeemar She could have gotten Twilight if she wanted it

Sarah Goode They aren't shaming her

Did we watch the same video?

👍

and shaming her for knowing what she wants and not just going after money and fame. Sigh.

@@LadyIsTheChamp Give me ONE timecode as evidence!

so shes an opinionated feminist. got it

Brad Etter not necessarily. If she was. She were writings her own fucking movies. You fucking piace of shit.

Fortune Maker yes, and that’s a good thing, you birdbrain

palacsintakat If you get a chance, watch her in Sleeping Beauty. Its really good!

You damn feminist

that isn't feminist

God, you said that so well! Thanx!!

Jennifer Lawrence is like the opposite of her

Totally agree. She might not become a household name but at least she can say she walked her talk every time.

mina_minaki but what's a better representation? Many women take pride in being a wife and/or a mother. Yes, those aren't my thing as a woman but talking down on these roles is talking down on women who take pride in being a traditional woman. Feminism fought for women to get equal rights, opportunities and to make own decisions. It rejected traditional roles enforced on women but it's not about rejecting what women choose to do freely. Are traditional roles not worthy to be played as characters? Makes no sense to me.

mina_minaki agreed!!

well,I think it has nothing to do with being ''the wife''.The problem is that in many cases-especially in action movies the wife is just a hot,sweet,innocent wife that plays no role at all and is just the part of the protagonists ''paradise''.They barely get any lines and either they get victimised or they are just so clueless about the whole plot and they seem to be a part of the background.That's the type of roles she's rejecting and I totally accept that.And don't forget about how sexist these type of movies are.Most of the times the 50+ or 60+ male actors are married to 20+ and 30+ female sensations.That what she hates in film industry,not being the multi-dimensional,active and supportive wife and mother

But that probably because action movies are targeted mainly to their hardcore fan bases which are mostly men. So, the protagonist is male and in most action movies the characters are not that "deep". It's just about cool fights, car chases and stunts. The main guy is also this stereotypical brute guy who can fight really well . Action genre is not a go to for any type of multi-dimensional characters. I saw this youtube video some time ago made by a female youtuber and her take was really nice on this "female characters are just there to be victimized" accusations. She mentioned how people assume victims are weak and how she thinks they aren't. They have gone through hardships themselves and survived physical and/or emotional trauma. She said something like that's your own bias to assume that's a weak role. Don't forget that any bystander that is not the lead usually is a normal civilian and clueless to fighting and whatnot. Not just the lead's wife or gf or kids. Another thing she mentioned was in "a guy saves the girl" plot it's the female's life that is ultimately valuable and male lead's life is very disposable because he will sacrifice his well being just to save someone he cares dearly about or in some cases someone he didn't know well. Male audience relates to this because that's just how men are in real life too. Male lives have been disposable since military draft and "women are children first" were a thing. Or even further than that when protecting one's tribe was a thing. So, it's not surprising that media was also used to sensationalize this martyr complex to male audience and glorify it. It is beneficial for the community to have males wanting to sacrifice themselves for women and children. This is also not just a cultural influence but also a biological one. Higher testosterone level increases protectiveness. It's just evolution making sure that what's more valuable to carry on the species (women and children) are protected. It's no wonder that this is reflected in the media somehow. "Most of the times the 50+ or 60+ male actors are married to 20+ and 30+ female sensations." What are these movies? 30 to 50, I will believe you but 50 to 60 male actors in every other movie? I can't even name male actors within that age who have movies out so often. Another reality is most couples have an age difference and males tend to be older than their female partners in real life. Hollywood is not so far fetched.

Momilkie ikr?! I remember being mad at the time because she's one of my favorite actresses and she's the first one I thought of when I was reading the books. But I'm SO GLAD she didn't do the films. They weren't good lol

Yeah, I seen that. I'm disappointed it wasn't a bigger role lol. Also, I've noticed that in almost every movie or show she's been in, she dies in some way or form.

Her character Pet was meant to play a more important role in the sequel to the Host, but the poor reception by critics and viewers to The Host seemed to have destroyed the possibility to a sequel

I might not have fallen asleep 10 minutes into the movie then!

It still would have been shit. Lets not blame the whole movie on one actress.

Longevity? I call it jobless!

-grunt you must have dozed off a bit. Jobless? let's see-starting 20 yrs.ago and going to school as well, she has 18 full length films, 2 short films, 10 TV projects and 3 albums to her credit. And she's just 29. Not to mention she knows hollywood is full of shit so she does what she wants, when and where she wants. If young American actresses had her wit, there wouldn't be near as many trainwrecks coming out of Disney and Nickleodeon studios. She is an absolute exception to the rules of hollywood and way better off as a result. So I guess anyone could call that jobless, if they don't know what they're talking about.

@@jaggedcut8603 Longevity. I just saw her in Class of 07 and everyone I recommend it to knows Emily Browning

Agree wholeheartedly It's good to see people who are down to earth like this. Love her

Outstanding idea but for the fact that GOT is an awfully grand scale production and she expressed a firm dislike of that sort of thing.

Yeah, she gives me Targ vibes because of her paleness.

Also: makeup.

makeup is literally just putting on a different person's face if you use enough of it.

I think she has extremely soft features so when she wears makeup it changes her face a lot. If that makes sense....

Great observation!!

Daniel Jacob or down under ☺

I thought the same thing. haha

They probably think she's stuck up for what she said about other actors aspiring to go onto Nickelodeon shows, like she looks down on them, when what I think she meant was that they were seeking instant fame and gratification and wanted to all be child stars when what she wanted was more serious roles and a more serious acting career. She wanted challenging roles, not just the ones that would get her the most attention. She didn't just want to be famous, she wanted to be a good actress and work on unique projects rather than playing a cliche female character, no matter how much more lucrative that would've been. Which is a bit privileged to be honest. Most aspiring actors who live paycheck to paycheck will take whatever job they can get. They're just stunned that she can get to pick and choose what she wants. Do remember though she did do a huge blockbuster movie as a child, so she probably made bank off of that, which means she doesn't have to just take jobs to survive, and with her looks and acting skills she would've been at the sort of place where she doesn't have to audition for work, they just send the scripts and ask her if she wants it. Surely with huge project she'd need to make a bit more effort but she doesn't want those jobs is the whole point.

Where? I don’t even see one comment calling her stuck up!?

More like half the people recognizing what an independent, self sufficient and strong woman is and the other half intimidated that she's not parading herself around like a Jennifer Lawrence type pretending to be independent, strong and self sufficient. Lawrence is an act. Browning is the real deal. She's not doing it for fame. Success. Attention. Or Acceptance. She's just doing it for self fulfillment and because it makes sense to her. It's in direct contrast to the modern feminism to you which is essentially teaching women that attention and fame/infamy is better than true independence and self fulfillment. Doing something cuz it means something to you and not just because it's a fad and everyone else is doing it.

Nurse Harley299 that’s not what bella was supposed to be. bella wasn’t written strong so she wasn’t supposed to be portrayed that way. as it probably would have been more enjoyable, it wouldn’t have been true to the original written story.

Jade Eden I know Bella wasn't badass or anything in the story but I also don't remember reading her as a completely helpless and emotionless/awkward girl. A little awkward maybe but the way Kristen played the role she played it as if she knew it wasn't meant for her. Although most of her old roles seemed all the same, she seems to have more depth as an actress now

Kristen Stewart's acting is wooden

I agree. Don't watch the twilight films to this day because of Kirsten's acting. Ugh!

Agree

sick as in awful?

All of you that are taking up for her saying stupid sh*t like “maybe she doesn’t want to be famous”, did someone put a gun to her head and say act or die? If she doesn’t want to be famous she should go work at Subway. I promise no one will care about anything she’s doing anymore.

NoJusticeNoPeace 8

ozdergecko SHE IS VERY GORGEOUS AND BEAUTIFUL!!!! THAT'S A FACT!!!!

I just downloaded "Sleeping Beauty" (2011) ;-D I missed her out completely. ... Wait, no. I saw "The Host"

Yes😩

Yeah, a fascinating spectacle for sure.

wrong. Sucker punch blows ass

Zack Snyder's movies are always better when someone else directs them.

she looks a hottie in sucker punch!

I'm a bit bored of people hanging shit on it all the time. It was a unique movie that did what it intended to do. It wasn't trying to be Titanic.

She is amazing as "Dead wife" in American Gods.

My thoughts exactly, American Gods is one of the best new shows I've seen in awhile. Great writing, incredible talent, and Emily Browning is, indeed, amazing.

I agree, she is amazing!!!

Suckerpunch is a boring music video trying to be a movie. A real pile of shit. American Gods is awesome and she kills it as Laura Moon, my favorite character of the show!

I absolutely understand it. It still sucks.

I agree a whole ton, sucker punch is absolutely amazing, the soundtrack, story, everything, i loved it so much.

the ending depresses me so much i.i poor Babydoll.

Idk why, I found it enjoyable but ultimately unsatisfying, like it was missing something.

It was a great movie! Even the soundtrack was awesome and I usually don't even like these kind of fantasy kinda films

Corey Holmes OH HELL NAW, YOURE INSANE

KoToCoNDoR yeah we need more people who do it cuz they enjoy it and the same goes for the people who make the movies nowadays

Or do what they love too..

Was that in Eltham?

Woo Wee Yolanthe Cabau van Kasbergen was a close friend of my cousin when they were younger. We even had a short thing going once at her birthday. Then she marries some singer and now she is the wife of some major football player. Weird to see people up the ladder all of a sudden.

Is she nice?

And Plush.

What a bitch, right?

Samuel Gorton ok and that's your opinion I loved the movie so Idc what you honk about it 👋🏼

Think*

Your favorite movie by her is one of her exact reasons why she left Hollywood. The perpetual stereotype of a pretty girl dressed in little to nothing to gain fame and attention. She left because she didn't want to be a stereotypical dolt like Jennifer Lawerence.

very underrated movie and very awesome too !! the fact that most of people didn't get his idea really really makes me angry !

Eva Foxxx she is so sexy in sucker punch!! 😍

Kellie Schmitz Watch "The Uninvited" (2009) I think you gonna like it.

Actors and actresses like her who shun the bright lights of Hollywood and all of the accepted norms surrounding it, for me, are the REAL actors.For them, their roles are not just jobs: they're representations of what they stand for. Kudos to Emily.

I find it funny how people call the cinema industry hollywood, Americans didn't invent motion pictures and Los Angeles isn't the whole place in the world that produces films

Brenda exactly. But you know, Americans think they're the only ones in existence. It's a very self centered culture.

DevilDogMuNky ugh yes I thought the same thing.

Same! And living in Australia I was even lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the stuff she did when she was even younger, such as Blue Heelers, as reruns and stuff on tv.

DevilDogMuNky I just watched Ghost Ship! That's why I looked her up to see what she has been up to. Then I found this video

thought the same thing

When I think about her, that movie always comes to my mind xD

Panda Monium Why? The movie was shit but Kristen did it and now she's a known and acclaimed actress since she was able to do a lot of great Indies after.

I’m pretty sure if she was to take the role of Bella, twilight would’ve been 1000 times better:

I would have rather it had been her then Kristen Stuart

She would be awesome in the character of bella

She probably followed her heart and knew that progect was not for her.

The way I understand it, she did not go for the audition as this video says. If she went to the audition she might not have been chosen and so she did not really "turned down" any offer to play Bella.

Yeah i didn't get that either. She didn't audition nor did they offer her the role so how is that turning it down?

It sounded like the video was saying she was invited to audition but didn't go. So, she turned down the opportunity to audition.

I agree with lucentgem and that was the way I interpreted it. She was most likely invited to come for an audition but declined to go and so lost the opportunity. But obviously others have been "invited" to the audition too, and still more who volunteered to go on their own. The point was that there was competition: you could say she "turned down Twilight" only if she was actually chosen from the candidates that came for the audition but she turned down the role.

Brianna Anderson She didn't. She just wasn't able to audition because she just recently shot another film so she's too tired to audition.

They was a amazing movie.

It was epic!

Acme633 Sucker Punch was great tho

I had a crush on her since I saw her in Ghost Ship haha! It's unfortunate on one hand to see the social injustices in modern society effect so many people and in the end it's probably all good for human evolution, but in general it's a damn shame for a girl like Emily Browning to have to miss (or ignore) so many great roles to play.

Tottally agree with you
