I've had so many NTs or other ND people who aren't autistic try to police my opinion on what is and isn't offensive to us. It's so irritating! Why can't they shut up?
The movie is now available to watch on 123movies if you’d like to do an analysis or reaction video without funding sia herself so others don’t have to watch or waste their money with curiosity :) love you!!
Sound kind of tyrannical and belittling, as if others outside the community were unable to have a proper and fair opinion. In fact, it sounds restraining. Rings a bell? Not good at all.
Heck, sounds like something a predator would say, especially since he said it with a fucking grin. If I wasn't traumatized by watching those restraint scenes I was certainly ready to blow a fuse and go feral because ho man I was so angered and at the end of my rope... Like I'm autistic but while I'm not too familiar with meltdowns (I don't remember having them compared to shutdowns, granted it might just be my brain blocking the experiences out?) I know DAMN WELL you do NOT restrain someone if they're freaking out from overstimulation and all it took was looking this shit up to get sites saying NO that is NOT how you handle meltdowns. If that were me? I would've bitten the fucker's nose or something because holding people down in that state only makes it worse! We're probably in fucking FIGHT or FLIGHT mode then for gods sake. Why couldn't they just maybe pull Music to a less stressful environment and let her calm down or something? God I'm rambling I'm angry sorry...
Just wait till you see Sia’s cameo in the film. She literally shamelessly casts herself as saviour purchasing drugs to fly via her private jet to get aid to earthquake victims in Haiti. This film is literally the WORST ever.
Absolutely. RuPaul, another prime example of "Block me, bitch, no one's impressed". Some people just don't want to hear it when they actively block inclusion, screws with their ego.
"I DiD fOuR yEarS of ReSeARch" **Proceeds to make obvious mistake after obvious mistake in the production/filming/advertising/etc. that would have been really prevented by even just 20 minutes of basic research**
It makes me wonder if the 4 years of research was just her reading the Autism Speaks website and talking to them. Cause a true researcher would use multiple sources. She must have failed the report writing tasks when she was in high school, only ever citing one source.
A movie called ‘Music’. Featuring a character called ‘Music’. And has lots of music in it. = the most ‘tone deaf’ representation I have ever seen. Oh the irony...
@@aaaaa3628 I’m not hating on Chloe’s video at all. As a member of the autistic community, I’m merely trying to point out the ironic connection between the film quite rightly being described as ‘tone deaf’ and music being the title and overall theme. Hope this helps explain. ☺️
Why is no one talking about Kate Hudson and Leslie Odom jr. ? They both have money. It’s not “well they had to take the job they needed money” no they’re both rich. They didn’t have to do the movie. They shouldn’t have done the movie. I get Maddie doing the movie because she had a co react before and sia definitely manipulated her. But those two are adults.
Yeah. I’m also disappointed in Leslie Odom Jr. because I love his work other than this so much. Part of me is hoping he didn’t realize that the movie would be this much of a dumpster fire at the time of his contract or didn’t know all of the ableist choices sia was making and signed the contract then legally couldn’t get out of the contract after he realized it was. At least that’s what I’m hoping... but yeah. I’m definitely upset that he was in it, too.
@@cadyhale8769 If Sia is to be believed and actually did cast an autistic girl initially, then I think that's likely to be the case. And once filming has already started, just "dropping out" isn't really an option anymore. Anyway, it's important to direct criticism at the people who were actually responsible for these decisions, not just any person associated with the project, who would not have had a say in the portrayal of autism, who almost certainly would not have known how bad it would turn out AND who wouldn't have been able to leave once that became obvious.
Yes I was very shocked that Kate and Leslie did this movie as they are adults and they should know better . On Maddy side her team and her parents should’ve definitely not let her do this movie
@@cadyhale8769 unfortunately he defended the movie 😕 @Alex Bennet : As far as blaming those responsible for making the movie, I agree to an extent. Let's assume Kate & Leslie assumed the writers and producers knew everything about autism and didn't know any better; fine give them a pass for participating in the movie. But now that the autistic community has spoken up, neither has apologized or made any statement except to defend it. So sad because they either don't care or know it's wrong and just want a precious golden globe 🙄
Sia said she’s removing the three scenes with the restraints and adding a warning at the beginning. BUT. It’s just because she was nominated for a golden globe. And it’s already been released to multiple countries. The damage is done. AND the movie was absolute ableist trash before we knew about the restraining in the movie. Because the concept of the movie is terrible. And music is just a plot point. And it’s portrayed by a neurotypical person who watched meltdown videos to “prepare for the role”
I bought the movie on Redbox, and there wasn't a single content warning, and all the restraint scenes were in it. Maybe she just meant she was removing it from the edits that would be shown in theatres?
So I’m auti and my husband has epilepsy... I showed him some of these “music videos” they were reaaaaally over stimulating for both of us. Not to mention I have seen the opening scene which made me physically ill.... I’m so disappointed I really loved her music before all this... I’m probably the most disappointed I’ve ever been with an artist of Sia’s caliber and massive following in how obscenely offensive it is... I dare to say several other movies from the 90’s and earlier are less offensive than this is you should know better than to compare someone to an inanimate object in an interview...
Sia told her fans she will remove the restraint scenes from all future screenings. Also Sia didn't block her, she deactivated her account a while ago. This girl is talking bullshiite
@@BlazeModz Correction: YOU are full of bullshit. Sia is a liar, she has lied multiple times about this movie, especially in regards to the characters and their actions. An adult man has no business restraining a minor that way, least of all in the way he does it in the movie. Go away.
I hate that I actually really like the music that Sia makes(not the movie, haven't seen that), but who she is as a person makes it so that I never want to consume anything she touches again :/
Edit - I watched the film in its entirety and reviewed it for my autism channel here for those who want to know my thoughts: th-cam.com/video/tJ_xBVjn6hc/w-d-xo.html The fact that the film has been nominated sickens me as an autism advocate. It's shows not only are people like Sia able to get away with making really bad portrayals of autistic people with little to no research. But media in general doesn't care about it and actually rewards it which is the worst part! I plan to see the film when it becomes available in the UK and review it for my TH-cam channel as I want to see if what the reviewers are saying is how I will feel afterwards. But honestly I'm not expecting this film to be anything more than Rainman 2. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Chloe! ☺️
@@aidanaidan8662 See I get that but you would have thought that these awards companies or organisation would be more in touch with the actual harm things like this do by them promoting it if that makes sense?
i fucking hate it that its nominated. i swear if it actually gets one i might as well quit everything and sink away to a pit of despair--from a sister of an highly autistic non verbal brother lol--
The golden globes and any other forms of public nominations for pretenders and others that deem themselves as "essential" is a way to persuade the general population into believing their forms of right, wrong and bias opinions. I prefer to be critical of everything. That is my thoughts of nomination awards.
Golden Globes, Oscars... it's just Hollywood elite patting each other on the back, over and over again. They have no idea about true struggle of any minority group and true representation, but want to look inclusive and diverse, so they end up making and praising tone deaf movies.
Ableism has that quality, very much prevalent and an global issue. This whole situation with Sia and this film tells you where we truly are and how far we have to go.
I automatically receive ableism in society because I'm an ambulatory wheelchair and crutch user at times. Recently I've figured out I have a lot of signs of being autistic. Sia was one of my idols with her music. Now her movie has given me a whole other negative perspective.
It's on 123movies. I'm 2 minutes in and disgusted. update: I couldn't even do it anymore after the damn scene where the "caretaker" restrains music in the park. it's disgusting. there wasn't even a warning like she said she would like are you kidding?!
sia can probably only add the warning in the movie on copies of the movie sold from when they are put in moving forward if u watch it now or buy it. it is not going to be there.
2 questions: 1: who in gods name names their child “music”, it’s like calling your pet puppy “video” or “fridge” or something 2: where can I get that flower crown I need that in my life
I have what is known as "high functioning" autism (though I'm not really sure I like that label anymore, but whatever) and I work as a hostess in a restaurant. A week or so ago, I started getting overwhelmed and began to have a break down. I started tensing up, I started hyperventilating, rocking back and forth, etc. One of the guests was right in front of me when it happened, and, in a well meaning matter tried to put her hand on my shoulder to comfort me, probably thinking I was merely stressed. But I immediately shrugged it off, because when I am having a breakdown I 👏 DO 👏 NOT 👏 WANT 👏 TO 👏 BE 👏 TOUCHED! At least not without my permission. So I don't understand how anyone can encourage physically restraining against their will like that and think it's helping? Sensory issues aren't just related to sight and sound. It extends to touch too. Oh, but Sia just expects us to sing her praises while we watch a young get forced onto the ground and restrained against her will. It makes me sick!
Those horrible ableist police officers in Leeds (UK) did that to an autistic girl for saying that the female officer looked like her lesbian nana. When told about the girl's autism, the response was: "I don't care!" Sums up pretty much most of the neurotypical society.
the fact that Maddy felt bad after she found at what she participated in makes me so sad. sia is not only a bad person now but she’s kinda creepy if you look into her relationship with maddy.
Rewrite the film and call it “musician” (idk I thought of this in 5 seconds lol) It’s focused on a Real Autistic Girl and has at least 7 different autistic people with strong influence (executive producers and directors, big parts, or if that’s not possible for whatever reason a board of autistic people to consult) Strong autistic community influence and discussion with them Consistent calm nice colour scheme (baby blue would feature heavily) Closed captions on the entire movie whether NTs want or not Sound design is specifically created so you could listen to it and understand the story, while genuinely just being nice to listen to as is (if you ignore voices, which wouldn’t ever be loud) Remove the hero complex of the NT, maybe heckin give us some fun adhd asd solidarity? (Have a neurodiverse household of a pair of best friends, one is called Maddie (wink wonk) and she’s an autistic musician and another is an adhd girl who supports Maddie, who might not be the most independent, but she isn’t infantilised. The movie could focus on any aspect of her music career) That was just a quick idea off the top of my head lol I haven’t watched the whole video or read comments yet Thanks for reading my rant I probably wouldn’t have lmao
i wish there were more shows that show people with autism in a better light and not as a token character i wanna see more actual factual things about autism not sia doing it for brownie points
Power Rangers 2017. Black autistic main character who is not tokenized and is actually good. Has a hero's arc. Not played by an autistic actor but we can't have everything.
@@twilymeeks6712 Ehhhh. The show started out terrible and is only relatively "decent" representation now. It has a lot of the same problems as Music does, except that they are a bit more subtle.
"And were entirely unable to see your enablism through your big wig." I also know theres a show called Speechless with an ACTUAL person with cerebal palsy and it's quite funny.
an awesome representation is Twyla from monster high g3, she has autism, but it is not her whole character. she has the power to manipulate dreams, loves books, is very kind, and transformed a nightmare rabbit into a cute bunny. there is so much good representation like this, but most of it is from smaller creators, not being seen by as many people. the ones being seen by most people are not good representation, or any representation at all.
"Unable to see your ableism through your big wig..." WINS the internet!! THANK you!! I really needed SOMETHING to laugh about in the midst of the absolute shitshow that is this film and Sia's pitiful attempts to sound somehow responsible for what she's done.
I might’ve already commented this but I was recently diagnosed with Aspergers. Your channel really helps me feel less alone in this big, scary, and confusing world. Thank you for being you and sharing it with us ❤️
As soon as I can find that petition I am going to be doing my best with filling it out and I am going to share it where ever I can along with if I can do it many comments from the artistic community about the movie
My friend convinced me to come with her to watch this movie. I had a headache for the rest of the day from all those strange music scenes. Also crappy plot, I was confused and angry at the same time. Did they actually tell what happened to music’s parents. Music is a dumpster fire of movie
As a NT person who tries to educate myself as much as possible on minorities I am not a part of, you are an incredible help!!! Thank you for being such an amazing educator and putting such clear arguments out there for everyone to see that explains what is and isn't ok so clearly. You are making such a big difference and I loved seeing you in Heartbreak High (kind of irrelevant to what I was saying but you were incredible)
She couldn’t handle your power and energy! I also have been looking into Autism and I’m currently self diagnosed but I hope to get my former diagnosis this year. I know everyone experiences autism differently and it’s harder for some more than others. But for me, I don’t feel like I’m broken anymore. I have never felt so accepted before.
I was so hype to see Promising Young Woman get a couple golden globe nominations and then saw Music right next to it and was just so disappointed with the film industry.
Sensationalism in every sense. As a part of the autistic community, I'm severly disgusted at this point of how my peers, the vocal ones at least, deal with the whole situation. Nothing's gonna ever change when things get cooked up so much, nobody is able to digest them. Sia messed up, but we did too.
I have ADHD and it mostly shows itself in sensory issues. I watched the movie on an illegal website after it came out because I don’t want to give this woman any of my money. My sensory issues make it hard to attend school and i have yet to find any sort of medication to help with these issues. Watching this movie was distressing to say the least. There are multiple scenes that include loud noises WITH FLASHING LIGHTS AND COLORS. I had to turn this film off because of the amount of triggering moments. I have only been diagnosed with ADHD, I can’t imagine how some of these scenes could effect autistic people with sensory issues compared to how I was effected.
@@fabraygrande yes it’s not autism but a lot of autistic people have ADD/ADHD. i don’t have autism but i have ADHD, ADHD is really common with other disorders and medical conditions as well such epilepsy (which im also diagnosed with), it’s not just autism. bottom line you can have ADD/ADHD and not have autism
Chloé: "I want to just see a character in a wheelchair" My brain, immediately: Artie, from the TV show Glee They somehow managed to balance both not leaning into tropes and totally leaning into tropes (Britanny is your typical "dumb blonde" sometimes) in the same show.
I don't know about you, but it kind of makes me think that she is only apologizing and wanting to remove the scene, because of the Golden Globes. It also shows that she didn't do those 3 years of research, because you would of think these articles of restraint killing Autistic children would have come up. Honestly I am so mad at this whole situation and the fact that she is being almost rewarded for it, with these Golden Globe nominations.
hey important question: is there a way we can help add CC to your videos? i feel like it would be helpful as the defaulted ones are not very accurate :( but i’d be glad to help with it and add them to as many videos as i can
Yes! I endorse this idea, and do hope she sees this comment. Besides being autistic, I also am Hard-of-Hearing and people in the Deaf community (which have a high comorbid rate with autism) could really benefit from this as well. Thank you for offering your assistance in the matter, although if I am mistaken I believe the community CC feature has been removed so you would have to work directly with the content creator but I am not certain. This is something I keep hoping this channel would adopt because I feel like I am missing out on some of what is being said (especially when she isn't facing the viewer), and the autogenerated CC sometimes ends up just confusing me more, so I hope something like this could be worked out. :)
@@q.b.2318 yea, it’s annoying that they removed the adding CC option, but i’m pretty sure there’s a way for the creator to allow other people to add them. CCs are so helpful for so many people and for totally unrelated issues and i hope they eventually put the option back (mostly to be able to add them on channels with more following, when it’s really hard to get the creator to respond)
@@azul4904 Yes, I definitely agree. It also helps folk whose primary spoken language isn't used in the content for translation purposes. Technically I am multilingual, but oral communication is more challenging in general given my disabilities and neurodivergence - so that's usually not my main issue. Although, I know many people that use it for that purpose primarily. Also, technically _everyone_ benefits from a CC option, because even NT Hearing-people who are natively fluent in the language being used might be in a situation where they want to turn the volume down or something like that. It tends to be that way with all accessibility tech actually....for instance, I was using bluetooth hearing aids that paired with my phone long before "airpods" became a thing (they simply adopted hearing aid technology to make that possible......though, I got to admit it used to be pretty funny when I was the only one I knew capable of discreetly and wirelessly making phone calls in such a way that made it appear like I was talking to myself 😆...lol, those were the days...it was made even more humorous by the fact that even with hearing aids I can't hear at standard levels so it didn't just look like I was talking to myself but also asking myself to repeat frequently...yes it is difficult mostly but sometimes you just got to laugh at the situation, kwim?) Not many people realize that SMS text was originally invented for the Deaf community...before the general public caught on, and now it is a regular everyday part of most people's lives. Or, what about ramps, elevators, and automatic doors becoming commonplace? There was actually a 2006 study by UK's Ofcom that showed that 18% of the population used CC, but only 20% of those people were actually in the Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing community. Even though that data is likely outdated now, I still find it very interesting. It turns out that when you provide accessibility services or invent new tech to promote accessibility, that service/tech tends to end up becoming useful for a *far greater* range of people than it was initially intended to help. Turns out more people find it _accessible_ and more people _benefit_ outside of those in the community that were (usually falsely) assumed to be the only ones who would need to have such in the first place. And even those that don't necessarily rely on such options, could certainly prefer to have such or benefit from its mere availability rather significantly. Anyway, sorry for the rant. I also hope they bring back the community CC feature for the reason you stated, as well as for the issue with censoring words - I sincerely wish they would stop. The decisions by YT over these things feels incredibly dismissive and infuriating. It's like the people behind making these choices didn't consider disabled people once in the decision-making process and don't actually care if we can access the content on this platform at all. So frustrating... Hopefully, they'll eventually change their minds about how they're handling the CC stuff. But, forgive me if I am not exactly holding my breath on that ever coming to fruition anytime soon.
We are not a plaything and it sickens me when we are viewed as such. When you are so rich and privileged as Sia is, you don't get to make mistakes like these and walk away with no repercussions. I do believe she meant no harm but nonetheless, she harmed. She had the opportunity to learn yet she didn't, too self-absorbed to do so and to truly admit to her mistakes. Yet she's still being celebrated. There is truly something repulsive about the way we as a society work.
you're so well spoken! I'm constantly amazed at how well you articulate your points 💞💞 honestly one of the best youtubers out there, ill be sure to share your videos 😘 I love to see women absolutely dominating the platform 💅 I learned so much
Chloe: I want to be watching a TV show one day and I wanna see a person that has down syndrome, someone in a wheelchair or someone that is autistic and be like... Yeah mean that's just them! Heartbreak high: *hold my beer*
I haven't watched this movie (don't plan to), but I heard somewhere that it would have been better if Sia had just written a movie about the sister... troubled young woman overcomes drug addiction. Then if she wanted to do something for autistic representation without research, she could write some tweets pointing people in the direction of actually autistic content.
Last week I read an article about this, where they quoted and named Chloe in the article! Proud of you Princess, Sia may have blocked you, but your voice is valued and heard 🌹
Hey Chloe I think I can remember you said you lived in Victoria I hope you stay safe and try not to be bored in the five day lock down thinking of you 😊😊🤗❤️
if you have amazon prime you can leave a bad review on it (on amazon's streaming) without having to buy or rent it. sure would be a shame if everyone left a bad review on it to try and make it even more apparent that it does not need an award, it needs banned.
@@reasyrandom well if rather it get a bunch of really bad reviews and not win an award... Trying to get as many people as possible to leave bad reviews to counteract the abalists and the Sia fans.
This is why your role in Jeremy The Dud was so great. It addressed a lot of the issues that have been made much clearer throughout the last few months in terms of condescension and people speaking on behalf of the disabled community. As a person with an invisible hydrocephalus (not considered neurodivergent but some similarities in my case), a lot of that connected with me and the stuff that didn't still felt familiar through many of my peers. There's so much going on in an attempt to get better disability recognition in media here (DisRupted, Bus Stop Films, Create NSW, Accessible Arts, Screenabiliy) but one popular voice has managed to undermine all the hard work.
listen...I totally understand the bright vibrant colors being a problem but the fact that loud noises are in there makes no sense. Sia should've taken a step back and looked at ways on A.)make it more representative of Autism and the people in the community such as myself & B.) the whole concept of the movie I say the whole concept because you can't make a movie with a title called music and not have the movie be based off the title or something..... @/sia rethink your strategy & we won't hate you next time :)
You do realise that Music is the characters name, the other main character is Zu short for Kazu, Originally the movie wasn't a musical - it was turned into one because the producers threw extra money at Sia to do so.
I ended up watching the movie because I knew it would be horrible and wanted to see. It was traumatising. There was gore and mental health stuff and drugs and it was horrible. Also there was no warning in the beginning at all. I now no longer listen to SIA as soon as her music comes on the radio I change the station straight away What a horrible person. As someone who is Autistic it was scary to be honest
Before hand i was on middle grounds of the matter because i didn't know enough to have an opinion. But anyways, THE MOVIE SOUNDS HORRIBLE. JESUS CRIST!
Omg I just discovered you! You’re the most beautiful Confident and joyful woman i’ve ever seen!!! I’m so glad there’s people like you who care about these standards!❤️ Thx for being such a good role model!❤️☺️
For her next movie, Sia is casting Maddy Ziegler as Nelson Mandela. (This is aimed at all the "but it's just acting" apologists, who don't think representation matters.)
How we're supposed to deal with the 'plot' of this movie, it seems: EXEC: "Okay, so the caregiver of this non-verbal, autistic teenager has just died, and we need to find someone to take over that role. I guess, logically, social services would try to find someone compassionate and well-versed in being able to support her with her very specific needs..." SIA: "Well actually I decided they'd just go straight to giving the job to her alcoholic, drug-dealing half-sister, who hasn't even asked for that responsibility..." EXEC: "What? That sounds like a TERRIBLE idea! Why on earth would any sane social services staff do a crazy thing like that?" SIA: "Because I-- I mean 'my main character' -- needs a Heroic Saviour arc for my-- I mean 'her' spiritual growth. EXEC: **in Ryan George Pitch Meeting Voice** "Well okay then! Heroic Saviour Arcs for Main Characters we're pretending aren't the Main Character are TIGHT!"
I watched the movie but only to know how bad it is for the autistic community I guess and- THIS WOMAN I SWEAR- it starts with the cast and ends with the storyline, it just presents autistic people in such a bad light as if they're not human dafuq? 😭 Edit: the cast, I said that because sia said herself that the main character isn't played by an actual girl with autism because apparently "it's uneasy to film" with. WOT?!
Sorry hi there I think you are getting mistaken like what your saying but she is actually offending autistic people not people with ADHD have a good day 🤗🤗
How I got here was through an ad from Sia, the colors and music startled me to the point I threw my headphones. I had no idea the movie was made to “represent autistic people” and I’m shocked. I get overwhelmed easily by loud noises in particular, and I saw the scene where the girl was being restrained and had a panic attack. I have been restrained in that manner and due to that, I have severe anxiety whenever I am near cops or hear sirens.
I love this so much. You have such a loud voice, and you are touching so many peoples hearts, and I love how you are using it for good. One show that I loved and included a disabled character without it being their whole plot line or personality was actually Sex Education hahah. I really recommend that show because it is so realistic and funny and inclusive. Well done and I applaud you highly for using your voice in such a good way 👏
I am so glad that I found you on here. You have opened my eyes to things that I have always thought of as weird about myself, out of the norm. I am realizing that there is a huge community of people that also have these weirds things as part of who they are and I am learning how to accept myself and those weird things as normal parts of who I am. After hearing all this information about this Sia production, I am so angry. I have always been annoyed in the past when I have seen a character who as in a wheelchair and doing the research and finding out the actor wasn't a wheelchair bound person. Or when it was supposed to be a film about Asian people without a single Asian person casted in the roles. All of that has annoyed me. Recently, I found a tv show where a non blind woman was casted as a blind woman and watching her make eye contact with just about everyone in the show who was in a conversation with her. A very poor representation of what its actually like to be blind. I don't know how this type of blatant discrimination ends, but it needs to end. Even if we have to start a petition to get the Golden Globes to remove the nominations and show Sia's movie for what it is.. An ablest woman with a hero complex perpetuating harmful stereotypes.
I’m actually disappointed because the music in the soundtrack is actually pretty good, but I just can’t enjoy myself while listening to it because of what she’s done. I usually learn to separate the art from the artist but this time I just can’t.
And you also shouldn't. She makes money out of it and as long as she does, she won't change and the society/film industry will think it's okay to be ableist, because she got money even while she was ableist. So please, don't support anything from her anymore.
Once again: if you’re not autistic your opinion is entirely invalid. You don’t get to say what’s offensive and harmful to us.
K thanks bye.
I've had so many NTs or other ND people who aren't autistic try to police my opinion on what is and isn't offensive to us. It's so irritating! Why can't they shut up?

Sound kind of tyrannical and belittling, as if others outside the community were unable to have a proper and fair opinion. In fact, it sounds restraining. Rings a bell? Not good at all.
The movie straight up calls the restraints "Crushing music with their love"
sounds like what you'd hear from a domestic violence abuser!
Heck, sounds like something a predator would say, especially since he said it with a fucking grin.
If I wasn't traumatized by watching those restraint scenes I was certainly ready to blow a fuse and go feral because ho man I was so angered and at the end of my rope...
Like I'm autistic but while I'm not too familiar with meltdowns (I don't remember having them compared to shutdowns, granted it might just be my brain blocking the experiences out?) I know DAMN WELL you do NOT restrain someone if they're freaking out from overstimulation and all it took was looking this shit up to get sites saying NO that is NOT how you handle meltdowns. If that were me? I would've bitten the fucker's nose or something because holding people down in that state only makes it worse! We're probably in fucking FIGHT or FLIGHT mode then for gods sake.

Thank you chloe you are a true inspirational person ever still like your chanle
Thank you. We love you. 💜
A movie called ‘Music’.
Featuring a character called ‘Music’.
And has lots of music in it.
= the most ‘tone deaf’ representation I have ever seen.
Oh the irony...
See that’s not the point of this though. That’s a minor detail that has basically nothing to do with this video at all.
@@aaaaa3628 I’m not hating on Chloe’s video at all. As a member of the autistic community, I’m merely trying to point out the ironic connection between the film quite rightly being described as ‘tone deaf’ and music being the title and overall theme.
Hope this helps explain. ☺️
@@GeorgiaMaeMusic oh I’m really sorry, I have a hard time interpreting tone over text and I just assumed it was. Thank you for explaining💕
@@aaaaa3628 ahh no problem. I agree, it’s super hard to determine tone from text. I often struggle with that myself. Hope you have a great day! ☺️
@@GeorgiaMaeMusic 💖💖💖
Why is no one talking about Kate Hudson and Leslie Odom jr. ? They both have money. It’s not “well they had to take the job they needed money” no they’re both rich. They didn’t have to do the movie. They shouldn’t have done the movie. I get Maddie doing the movie because she had a co react before and sia definitely manipulated her. But those two are adults.
EXACTLY!!! I'm SHOCKED no one has called them out online. Kate Hudson has always been trashy but damn
Yeah. I’m also disappointed in Leslie Odom Jr. because I love his work other than this so much. Part of me is hoping he didn’t realize that the movie would be this much of a dumpster fire at the time of his contract or didn’t know all of the ableist choices sia was making and signed the contract then legally couldn’t get out of the contract after he realized it was. At least that’s what I’m hoping... but yeah. I’m definitely upset that he was in it, too.
@@cadyhale8769 If Sia is to be believed and actually did cast an autistic girl initially, then I think that's likely to be the case. And once filming has already started, just "dropping out" isn't really an option anymore.
Anyway, it's important to direct criticism at the people who were actually responsible for these decisions, not just any person associated with the project, who would not have had a say in the portrayal of autism, who almost certainly would not have known how bad it would turn out AND who wouldn't have been able to leave once that became obvious.
Yes I was very shocked that Kate and Leslie did this movie as they are adults and they should know better . On Maddy side her team and her parents should’ve definitely not let her do this movie
@@cadyhale8769 unfortunately he defended the movie 😕
@Alex Bennet : As far as blaming those responsible for making the movie, I agree to an extent. Let's assume Kate & Leslie assumed the writers and producers knew everything about autism and didn't know any better; fine give them a pass for participating in the movie. But now that the autistic community has spoken up, neither has apologized or made any statement except to defend it. So sad because they either don't care or know it's wrong and just want a precious golden globe 🙄
Sia said she’s removing the three scenes with the restraints and adding a warning at the beginning. BUT. It’s just because she was nominated for a golden globe. And it’s already been released to multiple countries. The damage is done. AND the movie was absolute ableist trash before we knew about the restraining in the movie. Because the concept of the movie is terrible. And music is just a plot point. And it’s portrayed by a neurotypical person who watched meltdown videos to “prepare for the role”
Yeah she probably watched videos that were from forgive me for saying this everyone from the sane asylum videos which were a palling and horrible
And people who’ve watched it recently say those scenes are still included
Even Pixar can potray autism better than sia potraying autism in Music
I bought the movie on Redbox, and there wasn't a single content warning, and all the restraint scenes were in it. Maybe she just meant she was removing it from the edits that would be shown in theatres?
The fact that this movie has been nominated for multiple awards..... I can’t
Shows that awards don’t mean shit
Whyyyyy I have so many questions
So I’m auti and my husband has epilepsy... I showed him some of these “music videos” they were reaaaaally over stimulating for both of us. Not to mention I have seen the opening scene which made me physically ill.... I’m so disappointed I really loved her music before all this... I’m probably the most disappointed I’ve ever been with an artist of Sia’s caliber and massive following in how obscenely offensive it is... I dare to say several other movies from the 90’s and earlier are less offensive than this is you should know better than to compare someone to an inanimate object in an interview...
That scene... "I am crushing her with my love." Disgusting.
Oh! She also has the entire movie on her TH-cam account (I think?)
Correction: the movie's soundtrack is on her site, but not the movie.
They actually say that, omg!!!!! That is disgusting. This movie should be banned just for that scene alone
Sia told her fans she will remove the restraint scenes from all future screenings. Also Sia didn't block her, she deactivated her account a while ago. This girl is talking bullshiite
@@BlazeModz Correction: YOU are full of bullshit. Sia is a liar, she has lied multiple times about this movie, especially in regards to the characters and their actions. An adult man has no business restraining a minor that way, least of all in the way he does it in the movie. Go away.
@@Yukinoomoni Who does?
I hate that I actually really like the music that Sia makes(not the movie, haven't seen that), but who she is as a person makes it so that I never want to consume anything she touches again :/
I used to really enjoy a lot of her music and now it all just leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
@@dracawyn exactly :/
Remember that every time you stream her music on TH-cam, Spotify, etc she makes money. If you listen try to pirate it.
@@emotionaldamage947 i rid it from my list of song i liked in spotify
Same. I used to like her music, but since learning what kind of person she is, I can’t stand to hear her voice anymore!
As a neurodivergent person, im now avoiding everything about sia.
Luckily I never really liked her before, so no great loss hahaha. But she does make me ashamed to be Australian.
Bad for you
As a neurotypical person I'm now avoiding all things SIA, she clearly doesn't deserve any support
She has good music tho
@@SaKura-il8op true. However I think the cons massively outweigh the pros here though!
We offered to educate Sia and she really just said no hun lol
2:48 "there's a couple of scenes in this film where music is stimming, having a meltdown... i don't know"
sia probably doesn't know either
Edit - I watched the film in its entirety and reviewed it for my autism channel here for those who want to know my thoughts: th-cam.com/video/tJ_xBVjn6hc/w-d-xo.html
The fact that the film has been nominated sickens me as an autism advocate. It's shows not only are people like Sia able to get away with making really bad portrayals of autistic people with little to no research. But media in general doesn't care about it and actually rewards it which is the worst part!
I plan to see the film when it becomes available in the UK and review it for my TH-cam channel as I want to see if what the reviewers are saying is how I will feel afterwards. But honestly I'm not expecting this film to be anything more than Rainman 2.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Chloe! ☺️
Omg I know you. And totally agree.
It's the classic "deals with issue/theme" therefore award worthy
Hey I recognise you! From Yo Samdy Sam and other autistic people's channels. I'll definitely have to check out your video when it comes out!
@@aidanaidan8662 See I get that but you would have thought that these awards companies or organisation would be more in touch with the actual harm things like this do by them promoting it if that makes sense?
@@sophiekerr8964 Aww thanks Sophie and have to say Sam is a great creator!
I am FLOORED that this got nominated for golden globes! That’s so disgusting, I don’t even know where to start. Thank you for speaking out
i fucking hate it that its nominated. i swear if it actually gets one i might as well quit everything and sink away to a pit of despair--from a sister of an highly autistic non verbal brother lol--
The golden globes and any other forms of public nominations for pretenders and others that deem themselves as "essential" is a way to persuade the general population into believing their forms of right, wrong and bias opinions. I prefer to be critical of everything. That is my thoughts of nomination awards.
Golden Globes, Oscars... it's just Hollywood elite patting each other on the back, over and over again. They have no idea about true struggle of any minority group and true representation, but want to look inclusive and diverse, so they end up making and praising tone deaf movies.
Ableism has that quality, very much prevalent and an global issue. This whole situation with Sia and this film tells you where we truly are and how far we have to go.
I automatically receive ableism in society because I'm an ambulatory wheelchair and crutch user at times. Recently I've figured out I have a lot of signs of being autistic. Sia was one of my idols with her music. Now her movie has given me a whole other negative perspective.
It's on 123movies. I'm 2 minutes in and disgusted.
update: I couldn't even do it anymore after the damn scene where the "caretaker" restrains music in the park. it's disgusting. there wasn't even a warning like she said she would like are you kidding?!
That scene is also presented, as Kate Hudson learning how to take of her sister.
sia can probably only add the warning in the movie on copies of the movie sold from when they are put in moving forward if u watch it now or buy it. it is not going to be there.
On a different note from this abomination WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR FLOWER CROWNS, they are so pretty!
this movie has made me have meltdowns i can’t deal with it it’s making me so sad
2 questions:
1: who in gods name names their child “music”, it’s like calling your pet puppy “video” or “fridge” or something
2: where can I get that flower crown I need that in my life
Now I want to name my puppy videofridge.
I actually have met someone named Music and she happened to be a phenomenal pianist. I don’t think the name is the issue.
Music is a good name.......for a pet
Like ppl name their children North Stormi Blue. It’s a name
I wonder if she made it. Gosh my head is too sensitive for that or I would make one for myself.
I have what is known as "high functioning" autism (though I'm not really sure I like that label anymore, but whatever) and I work as a hostess in a restaurant. A week or so ago, I started getting overwhelmed and began to have a break down. I started tensing up, I started hyperventilating, rocking back and forth, etc. One of the guests was right in front of me when it happened, and, in a well meaning matter tried to put her hand on my shoulder to comfort me, probably thinking I was merely stressed. But I immediately shrugged it off, because when I am having a breakdown I 👏 DO 👏 NOT 👏 WANT 👏 TO 👏 BE 👏 TOUCHED! At least not without my permission. So I don't understand how anyone can encourage physically restraining against their will like that and think it's helping? Sensory issues aren't just related to sight and sound. It extends to touch too. Oh, but Sia just expects us to sing her praises while we watch a young get forced onto the ground and restrained against her will. It makes me sick!
Those horrible ableist police officers in Leeds (UK) did that to an autistic girl for saying that the female officer looked like her lesbian nana. When told about the girl's autism, the response was: "I don't care!" Sums up pretty much most of the neurotypical society.
Sia girl I- have no words 🤦🏼♀️
Inexcusable and unforgivable at this point. It's a shame because she's a truly talented woman. 😔
the fact that Maddy felt bad after she found at what she participated in makes me so sad. sia is not only a bad person now but she’s kinda creepy if you look into her relationship with maddy.
Rewrite the film and call it “musician” (idk I thought of this in 5 seconds lol)
It’s focused on a Real Autistic Girl and has at least 7 different autistic people with strong influence (executive producers and directors, big parts, or if that’s not possible for whatever reason a board of autistic people to consult)
Strong autistic community influence and discussion with them
Consistent calm nice colour scheme (baby blue would feature heavily)
Closed captions on the entire movie whether NTs want or not
Sound design is specifically created so you could listen to it and understand the story, while genuinely just being nice to listen to as is (if you ignore voices, which wouldn’t ever be loud)
Remove the hero complex of the NT, maybe heckin give us some fun adhd asd solidarity? (Have a neurodiverse household of a pair of best friends, one is called Maddie (wink wonk) and she’s an autistic musician and another is an adhd girl who supports Maddie, who might not be the most independent, but she isn’t infantilised. The movie could focus on any aspect of her music career)
That was just a quick idea off the top of my head lol I haven’t watched the whole video or read comments yet
Thanks for reading my rant I probably wouldn’t have lmao
i wish there were more shows that show people with autism in a better light and not as a token character i wanna see more actual factual things about autism not sia doing it for brownie points
Power Rangers 2017. Black autistic main character who is not tokenized and is actually good. Has a hero's arc. Not played by an autistic actor but we can't have everything.
Even representation on all areas of the spectrum. Not the 2 we always see that misinform people that there is only 2 types of Autistic people.
Although the actor is not autistic himself, Atypical is an amazing representation of someone on the spectrum.
@@twilymeeks6712.
I LOVE Atypical.
@@twilymeeks6712 Ehhhh.
The show started out terrible and is only relatively "decent" representation now.
It has a lot of the same problems as Music does, except that they are a bit more subtle.
"And were entirely unable to see your enablism through your big wig."
I also know theres a show called Speechless with an ACTUAL person with cerebal palsy and it's quite funny.
And RJ Mitte from Breaking Bad. He is acting as the son who has cerebral palsy, while Mitte also has cerebral palsy.
So from what I’m hearing about this movie, it’s basically doing to the autism community what the movie Split did to the DID community. Ugh.
Your one of my biggest heros, and whenever people ask me why I say you are my new answer is going to be "Sia blocked her on twitter"
literally music isn't even the main person on the poster
I saw this comment somewhere else but I thought it would be fitting here as well:
S I A -
S he
I s
A bleist
OMG! It was in her name all along........ Dun... Dun... DUUUUUUUNNNNN! 😱
I'm pretty sure I commented this under a stan commenting "She Is Amazing".
@@reasyrandom omg yes! Absolutely genius 👏
an awesome representation is Twyla from monster high g3, she has autism, but it is not her whole character. she has the power to manipulate dreams, loves books, is very kind, and transformed a nightmare rabbit into a cute bunny. there is so much good representation like this, but most of it is from smaller creators, not being seen by as many people. the ones being seen by most people are not good representation, or any representation at all.
"Unable to see your ableism through your big wig..." WINS the internet!! THANK you!! I really needed SOMETHING to laugh about in the midst of the absolute shitshow that is this film and Sia's pitiful attempts to sound somehow responsible for what she's done.
I might’ve already commented this but I was recently diagnosed with Aspergers. Your channel really helps me feel less alone in this big, scary, and confusing world. Thank you for being you and sharing it with us ❤️
Ok I know this is a serious video but can we all take a moment to recognize how beautiful and energetic and lovely Chloe is please
I'll never forget all the times I was restrained as a child, seeing those scenes from the movie brought back so many bad memories
You probably already know about this but there's a petition to get the golden globe awards that shes up for withdrawn
If you search change and music you shoukd find it
As soon as I can find that petition I am going to be doing my best with filling it out and I am going to share it where ever I can along with if I can do it many comments from the artistic community about the movie
My friend convinced me to come with her to watch this movie. I had a headache for the rest of the day from all those strange music scenes. Also crappy plot, I was confused and angry at the same time. Did they actually tell what happened to music’s parents. Music is a dumpster fire of movie
You would think her 3 years of research would have shown that those scenes would have caused overstimulation, in a lot of Autistics.
I just watched it... could barely tolerate it... the color ans flashes, my eyes and head hurts! No plot at all... is truly a horrible movie.
As a NT person who tries to educate myself as much as possible on minorities I am not a part of, you are an incredible help!!! Thank you for being such an amazing educator and putting such clear arguments out there for everyone to see that explains what is and isn't ok so clearly. You are making such a big difference and I loved seeing you in Heartbreak High (kind of irrelevant to what I was saying but you were incredible)
She couldn’t handle your power and energy! I also have been looking into Autism and I’m currently self diagnosed but I hope to get my former diagnosis this year. I know everyone experiences autism differently and it’s harder for some more than others. But for me, I don’t feel like I’m broken anymore. I have never felt so accepted before.
“You were unable to see your ableism through your big wig” IM SCREAMIFN FHDHDHSBS
I was so hype to see Promising Young Woman get a couple golden globe nominations and then saw Music right next to it and was just so disappointed with the film industry.
Sensationalism in every sense. As a part of the autistic community, I'm severly disgusted at this point of how my peers, the vocal ones at least, deal with the whole situation. Nothing's gonna ever change when things get cooked up so much, nobody is able to digest them. Sia messed up, but we did too.
I have ADHD and it mostly shows itself in sensory issues. I watched the movie on an illegal website after it came out because I don’t want to give this woman any of my money. My sensory issues make it hard to attend school and i have yet to find any sort of medication to help with these issues. Watching this movie was distressing to say the least. There are multiple scenes that include loud noises WITH FLASHING LIGHTS AND COLORS. I had to turn this film off because of the amount of triggering moments. I have only been diagnosed with ADHD, I can’t imagine how some of these scenes could effect autistic people with sensory issues compared to how I was effected.
What website did you watch it on? I kinda wanna try too
I am neurotypical. I just want to learn as much as i can.
same here.
me too, but a lot of people think i might have ADD so idk-
@@frowny7661 ADD isnt autism
Same.
@@fabraygrande yes it’s not autism but a lot of autistic people have ADD/ADHD. i don’t have autism but i have ADHD, ADHD is really common with other disorders and medical conditions as well such epilepsy (which im also diagnosed with), it’s not just autism. bottom line you can have ADD/ADHD and not have autism
Chloé: "I want to just see a character in a wheelchair"
My brain, immediately: Artie, from the TV show Glee
They somehow managed to balance both not leaning into tropes and totally leaning into tropes (Britanny is your typical "dumb blonde" sometimes) in the same show.
I don't know about you, but it kind of makes me think that she is only apologizing and wanting to remove the scene, because of the Golden Globes. It also shows that she didn't do those 3 years of research, because you would of think these articles of restraint killing Autistic children would have come up. Honestly I am so mad at this whole situation and the fact that she is being almost rewarded for it, with these Golden Globe nominations.
She said Sia's film was bad, but not only that. SHE WENT AHEAD AND GAVE US AN ACTUAL REPRESENTATION.
Happy me, happy
If someone makes fun of you for something you can't control, the best thing to say is, "Wow, you really hate yourself, don't you?"
hey important question: is there a way we can help add CC to your videos? i feel like it would be helpful as the defaulted ones are not very accurate :( but i’d be glad to help with it and add them to as many videos as i can
Working on it!
Yes! I endorse this idea, and do hope she sees this comment. Besides being autistic, I also am Hard-of-Hearing and people in the Deaf community (which have a high comorbid rate with autism) could really benefit from this as well.
Thank you for offering your assistance in the matter, although if I am mistaken I believe the community CC feature has been removed so you would have to work directly with the content creator but I am not certain.
This is something I keep hoping this channel would adopt because I feel like I am missing out on some of what is being said (especially when she isn't facing the viewer), and the autogenerated CC sometimes ends up just confusing me more, so I hope something like this could be worked out. :)
@@q.b.2318 yea, it’s annoying that they removed the adding CC option, but i’m pretty sure there’s a way for the creator to allow other people to add them. CCs are so helpful for so many people and for totally unrelated issues and i hope they eventually put the option back (mostly to be able to add them on channels with more following, when it’s really hard to get the creator to respond)
Yes! English it’s not my first language so I can’t understand what she says sometimes, CC’s really helps!^^
@@azul4904 Yes, I definitely agree. It also helps folk whose primary spoken language isn't used in the content for translation purposes. Technically I am multilingual, but oral communication is more challenging in general given my disabilities and neurodivergence - so that's usually not my main issue. Although, I know many people that use it for that purpose primarily.
Also, technically _everyone_ benefits from a CC option, because even NT Hearing-people who are natively fluent in the language being used might be in a situation where they want to turn the volume down or something like that.
It tends to be that way with all accessibility tech actually....for instance, I was using bluetooth hearing aids that paired with my phone long before "airpods" became a thing (they simply adopted hearing aid technology to make that possible......though, I got to admit it used to be pretty funny when I was the only one I knew capable of discreetly and wirelessly making phone calls in such a way that made it appear like I was talking to myself 😆...lol, those were the days...it was made even more humorous by the fact that even with hearing aids I can't hear at standard levels so it didn't just look like I was talking to myself but also asking myself to repeat frequently...yes it is difficult mostly but sometimes you just got to laugh at the situation, kwim?)
Not many people realize that SMS text was originally invented for the Deaf community...before the general public caught on, and now it is a regular everyday part of most people's lives.
Or, what about ramps, elevators, and automatic doors becoming commonplace?
There was actually a 2006 study by UK's Ofcom that showed that 18% of the population used CC, but only 20% of those people were actually in the Deaf/Hard-of-Hearing community. Even though that data is likely outdated now, I still find it very interesting.
It turns out that when you provide accessibility services or invent new tech to promote accessibility, that service/tech tends to end up becoming useful for a *far greater* range of people than it was initially intended to help. Turns out more people find it _accessible_ and more people _benefit_ outside of those in the community that were (usually falsely) assumed to be the only ones who would need to have such in the first place. And even those that don't necessarily rely on such options, could certainly prefer to have such or benefit from its mere availability rather significantly.
Anyway, sorry for the rant. I also hope they bring back the community CC feature for the reason you stated, as well as for the issue with censoring words - I sincerely wish they would stop.
The decisions by YT over these things feels incredibly dismissive and infuriating. It's like the people behind making these choices didn't consider disabled people once in the decision-making process and don't actually care if we can access the content on this platform at all. So frustrating...
Hopefully, they'll eventually change their minds about how they're handling the CC stuff. But, forgive me if I am not exactly holding my breath on that ever coming to fruition anytime soon.
We are not a plaything and it sickens me when we are viewed as such. When you are so rich and privileged as Sia is, you don't get to make mistakes like these and walk away with no repercussions. I do believe she meant no harm but nonetheless, she harmed. She had the opportunity to learn yet she didn't, too self-absorbed to do so and to truly admit to her mistakes. Yet she's still being celebrated. There is truly something repulsive about the way we as a society work.
you're so well spoken! I'm constantly amazed at how well you articulate your points 💞💞 honestly one of the best youtubers out there, ill be sure to share your videos 😘 I love to see women absolutely dominating the platform 💅 I learned so much
Thank you for informing people, I just found your channel a couple days ago but you are really awesome! Sia is just scared of your power 😼
Chloe: I want to be watching a TV show one day and I wanna see a person that has down syndrome, someone in a wheelchair or someone that is autistic and be like... Yeah mean that's just them!
Heartbreak high: *hold my beer*
I haven't watched this movie (don't plan to), but I heard somewhere that it would have been better if Sia had just written a movie about the sister... troubled young woman overcomes drug addiction. Then if she wanted to do something for autistic representation without research, she could write some tweets pointing people in the direction of actually autistic content.
Last week I read an article about this, where they quoted and named Chloe in the article! Proud of you Princess, Sia may have blocked you, but your voice is valued and heard 🌹
Hey Chloe I think I can remember you said you lived in Victoria I hope you stay safe and try not to be bored in the five day lock down thinking of you 😊😊🤗❤️
omg I knew I recognized you from Heartbreak high! I was so happy to have good autistic rep and by an autistic person!
if you have amazon prime you can leave a bad review on it (on amazon's streaming) without having to buy or rent it. sure would be a shame if everyone left a bad review on it to try and make it even more apparent that it does not need an award, it needs banned.
I wish you hadn't told me that.
Jesus Christ, my country's understanding of autism representation is atrocious...
@@reasyrandom well if rather it get a bunch of really bad reviews and not win an award... Trying to get as many people as possible to leave bad reviews to counteract the abalists and the Sia fans.
I love how you talk really fast so I don’t have to put it at 2x speed so I can concentrate in your voice. 💛
the moment i saw this video, i audibly said "oh no, im scared"
This is why your role in Jeremy The Dud was so great. It addressed a lot of the issues that have been made much clearer throughout the last few months in terms of condescension and people speaking on behalf of the disabled community. As a person with an invisible hydrocephalus (not considered neurodivergent but some similarities in my case), a lot of that connected with me and the stuff that didn't still felt familiar through many of my peers. There's so much going on in an attempt to get better disability recognition in media here (DisRupted, Bus Stop Films, Create NSW, Accessible Arts, Screenabiliy) but one popular voice has managed to undermine all the hard work.
In response to the video description, your song is awesome!
listen...I totally understand the bright vibrant colors being a problem but the fact that loud noises are in there makes no sense. Sia should've taken a step back and looked at ways on A.)make it more representative of Autism and the people in the community such as myself & B.) the whole concept of the movie
I say the whole concept because you can't make a movie with a title called music and not have the movie be based off the title or something..... @/sia rethink your strategy & we won't hate you next time :)
You do realise that Music is the characters name, the other main character is Zu short for Kazu, Originally the movie wasn't a musical - it was turned into one because the producers threw extra money at Sia to do so.
You said to go back to the other video and now I’m worried that the thumbnail says it’s worse than you thought
Oh my it’s worse than I thought
"And you were entirely unable to see your own ableism through your big wig." This is why you're one of my favourite TH-camrs.
Sia... ma’am... have 2 seats!!!
I ended up watching the movie because I knew it would be horrible and wanted to see.
It was traumatising.
There was gore and mental health stuff and drugs and it was horrible.
Also there was no warning in the beginning at all.
I now no longer listen to SIA as soon as her music comes on the radio I change the station straight away
What a horrible person.
As someone who is Autistic it was scary to be honest
Before hand i was on middle grounds of the matter because i didn't know enough to have an opinion.
But anyways, THE MOVIE SOUNDS HORRIBLE. JESUS CRIST!
Your whole aesthetic is just great.
Oh my gosh I can’t believe this movie isn’t even visually good for people with sensory issues?? Like can’t even get that right
It's no wonder why the previous autistic actresses Sia tried to hire (if that was even true) couldn't handle the movie.
“And I think it’s coming out in a couple of weeks” my Brain: NOOOOOo!!
How did this get nominated for best musical, and Kate Hudson for best actress. Disgusting.
I don't get it either, just based on the reviews it shouldn't have gotten anything. Add in the controversy then they should have given it a wide berth
As an autistic person I think that we would of been better off if sia fell from the chandelier.....
You can watch the movie for free on Soap2Day if you really want to but don’t want to give Sia money
Omg I just discovered you! You’re the most beautiful Confident and joyful woman i’ve ever seen!!! I’m so glad there’s people like you who care about these standards!❤️ Thx for being such a good role model!❤️☺️
For her next movie, Sia is casting Maddy Ziegler as Nelson Mandela.
(This is aimed at all the "but it's just acting" apologists, who don't think representation matters.)
wait you’re not serious right??
@@cookiemonster8184 No, I'm not serious.
How we're supposed to deal with the 'plot' of this movie, it seems:
EXEC: "Okay, so the caregiver of this non-verbal, autistic teenager has just died, and we need to find someone to take over that role. I guess, logically, social services would try to find someone compassionate and well-versed in being able to support her with her very specific needs..."
SIA: "Well actually I decided they'd just go straight to giving the job to her alcoholic, drug-dealing half-sister, who hasn't even asked for that responsibility..."
EXEC: "What? That sounds like a TERRIBLE idea! Why on earth would any sane social services staff do a crazy thing like that?"
SIA: "Because I-- I mean 'my main character' -- needs a Heroic Saviour arc for my-- I mean 'her' spiritual growth.
EXEC: **in Ryan George Pitch Meeting Voice** "Well okay then! Heroic Saviour Arcs for Main Characters we're pretending aren't the Main Character are TIGHT!"
Too powerful
Blocking was her only escape
Lol
What a baby. Man.... I'm so sad sia is like this....
came from d'angelo wallace's stream! 💖💖
I want to see how ableist this movie is but i don't want to watch something that can offend so many people
Wait to illegally stream it 👍
I’m new to your channel and I LOVE YOU!!! Your flower crowns and style.. I’m living for it haha it’s amazing! I am just so glad I found your videos 😍
I watched the movie but only to know how bad it is for the autistic community I guess and- THIS WOMAN I SWEAR- it starts with the cast and ends with the storyline, it just presents autistic people in such a bad light as if they're not human dafuq? 😭
Edit: the cast, I said that because sia said herself that the main character isn't played by an actual girl with autism because apparently "it's uneasy to film" with. WOT?!
Sorry hi there I think you are getting mistaken like what your saying but she is actually offending autistic people not people with ADHD have a good day 🤗🤗
@@rub.i omg I'm sorry, I'll edit it ofc
@@lyricswritinggirl it’s fine we all make mistakes ❤️❤️
@@rub.i thanks anyway, theres a difference and I don't want other people to confuse it. I always try to educate myself ❤️
How I got here was through an ad from Sia, the colors and music startled me to the point I threw my headphones. I had no idea the movie was made to “represent autistic people” and I’m shocked. I get overwhelmed easily by loud noises in particular, and I saw the scene where the girl was being restrained and had a panic attack. I have been restrained in that manner and due to that, I have severe anxiety whenever I am near cops or hear sirens.
The fact that Music has been nominated for two Golden Globe awards shows how ignorant people are 🤢🤮🤮
The film has won 3 golden raspberries which is at least some justice since even part of the film industry has recognised how bad it is.
I love this so much. You have such a loud voice, and you are touching so many peoples hearts, and I love how you are using it for good.
One show that I loved and included a disabled character without it being their whole plot line or personality was actually Sex Education hahah. I really recommend that show because it is so realistic and funny and inclusive. Well done and I applaud you highly for using your voice in such a good way 👏
Thank you for reacting to this. It helped me to process. ❤️
I watched it illegally today on 123movies 😂😊
I am so glad that I found you on here. You have opened my eyes to things that I have always thought of as weird about myself, out of the norm. I am realizing that there is a huge community of people that also have these weirds things as part of who they are and I am learning how to accept myself and those weird things as normal parts of who I am.
After hearing all this information about this Sia production, I am so angry. I have always been annoyed in the past when I have seen a character who as in a wheelchair and doing the research and finding out the actor wasn't a wheelchair bound person. Or when it was supposed to be a film about Asian people without a single Asian person casted in the roles. All of that has annoyed me. Recently, I found a tv show where a non blind woman was casted as a blind woman and watching her make eye contact with just about everyone in the show who was in a conversation with her. A very poor representation of what its actually like to be blind. I don't know how this type of blatant discrimination ends, but it needs to end. Even if we have to start a petition to get the Golden Globes to remove the nominations and show Sia's movie for what it is.. An ablest woman with a hero complex perpetuating harmful stereotypes.
if anyone else wants to pirate this like i did so we don’t give a cent to sia, check out fmovies
You explained this so well! I definitely agree and hope that the public rejects this movie in the future!!
I’m actually disappointed because the music in the soundtrack is actually pretty good, but I just can’t enjoy myself while listening to it because of what she’s done. I usually learn to separate the art from the artist but this time I just can’t.
And you also shouldn't. She makes money out of it and as long as she does, she won't change and the society/film industry will think it's okay to be ableist, because she got money even while she was ableist. So please, don't support anything from her anymore.
I really like your aesthetic 🌿🌞🌼
Your opinions are as expertly woven together as your gorgeous flower crowns
A movie with you as the star... now that's something I would support and watch!
So disgusted by Sia
Side note, I need that flower crown😍
Go to google or IMBD and hit the dislike on the movie
