"Are you sure you want more lines" -Jessica Chastain 2018
BURN!!! Hahahaha
Olympias Maybe, she should have asked for more lines in the Martian so she wouldn't have complained.
ahaha! I heard when they said that part too! hahahah!!!
I adore Jessica. Amazing actress, amazing activist and adorably real.
That was great.. really.. but maybe smile more, Jimmy.. you'll be prettier. Wanna come back to my dressing room and run lines? No? well there's plenty of other Jimmy's in Late Night TV who actually WANT the role.
New Message Fake issue made by idiotic feminists who are apparently a victim of everything.
Chase Jackson wtf shit like that DOES happen
@@chasealbertjackson964 I wonder if your stance has changed?
And plenty of Jimmy's with no talents are ready to do that
"Are you sure you want more lines"?
:) She savage!
Jessica Chastain is like the female Tom Hardy. Able to become a particular character in whatever role she's given. And she's got a good fashion sense.
Or maybe Tom Hardy is the male Jessica Chastain!!!🤔You just did what Jessica was talking about comparing her to a MALE actor 😇
I wanna see Jessica hosting her own tonight show she's so good.
Love Jessica she is such an amazing actor and so gorgeous
Isla Fisher, Amy Adams and Jessica Chastain are all made of stars.
But anyone who isn't a red headed actress in their 40s is not.
Jessica Chastain is SUCH a good actress
This seems like it's supposed to look spontaneous but Jimmy knew he would be doing this
They're always planned. Every little bit is rehearsed.
Jessica Chastain making a spot on point! This showcases what I have been trying to explain all my friends - men especially seem to have difficulty seeing what the issue is...
love you Bryce Dallas Howard!!
team 89er who?
Bat Man you know, that girl from arrival
No, it's that lady with a late night show on tbs
Loved her in black mirror
Emily E. Ya also Mrs.Borat
Y'all, they used fake scripts because using real ones, especially in a negative context, would get them sued
true, especially:
Aliens
Harry Potter
Terminator
Buffy
Oh wait...she cherry picked.....I see....
@@RhetoricalMuse Well, she isn't implying that NO good female or female roles have ever happened. She and the movement are pushing to make it happen far more often than it does. Like, for example, you can name those four movies/shows off the top of your head but how many other strong female characters can you think of without naming; Buffy, Ripley, Wonder Woman and Sarah Connor? I know my mind is struggling with it a little. Sure, if we thought about it we could come up with more but that's the point she's making :)
3:08 you sure you want more lines 😂
I love this woman
I think the idea of swapping actual characters would be nice and could actually help the cause for equality
it is real life. That is not even exaggerating. That is even in real life, in all businesses.
You could tell it was "last minute" because of the backgrounds already setup XD
Lol what is going on with the audio? I thought i was having a stroke
People sometimes take everything so serious. She's just trying to make a point, besides she's one of the best actresses of this generation. I don't even understand why she has haters.
Marcus She tried comparing her paycheck to Matt Damon's..... when he was the main lead.
They already pretty much did this on SNL a while back where Beck and Kyle wrote the sketch for women I believe its called "A Sketch For Women"
absolutely love jessica chastain
Jessica is queen 😍😍
You act Jimmy with that Laugh, U are just bad at it😂
Replace Fallon with a female host. I’d be for that.
Jessica Chastain is so great 🙌🙌🙌
Anybody know from which movies these linew have been taken?
god i love jessica she's such a goddess
he said yeah like dakota johnson
I WANT HER SHOES
She is so amazing.
Juan Luna amazing at cherry picking
@@christopherrembert6356 what cherry picking!?
her shoes😍😍
People not in the industry only see the outside or the outcome, which is the movies that is made. As a guy, I humbly applaud her for trying to show the inner reality of the system, that for the most part, was concealed, and also applaud every guy who is willing to listen and help.
where's the first part to this? :(
I wish I had a nice singing voice like her hair
"Are you sure you want more lines?"
Luv Her!
the rom com one is directly out of the last episode of Modern Family
I LOVE HERRRRR
RIP ME 😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣
My favourite red head
I want her shoes
Love this woman
Jessica Chastain = Stellar
Wish I had some potato chips and beer.
Yeah we get the sarcasm
Melhor pessoa!
A empolgação da Jéssica 😁😋🥰
QUE MUITO MARAVILHOSA QUE MULHER DIVERTIDA
Those scripts were so bad I hope they weren't real movies
On a side note the main issue is to do with writers and the lack of quality writers in areas that are considered under represented, Denzel talks a lot about this in regards to how there is a lack of black writers which leads to a lack of representation and not controlling your own stories and having to rely on other people to write them but its in a sense of culture more than race. I imagine it would be the same with female roles and a lack of female writers just look at the Oscar nominations from memory I can only think of one who was female.
Then more women need to become writers. It's not the men's fault if writing appeals to them but not women. Women can complain all you like about there not being many female writers or directors, or they can actually become one and even the playing field.
Yeah they do need more women to become writers why they don't is something I don't know and is the overall problem but they don't address that ever, like every critic is going crazy over Lady Bird yet it didn't get any nominations for directing or writing for Gerwig, I can't really judge if its good or not because I haven't seen it yet but outside of that film I can't remember seeing any or even hearing about any that could be seriously nominated and have any credibility.
I think another part of the problem overall is that a lot of people just give lip service or jump on the bandwagon of movements because its easy to do and they do not come up with real solutions a prime example is Natalie Portman complaining at the Globes that all the directors were male meanwhile her own production company has hired only 1 female director (hint it was Portman her self) and she signed a petition trying to get Polanski pardoned from his child rape charges while espousing women empowerment and anti harassment warcrys like a medieval tribesmen.
There are two main reasons why there aren’t more female writers/ directors etc. The first is commonly referred to as the Gender Confidence Gap. Studies show that women are more likely to underestimate their abilities than men, for example if a woman thinks she’s bad at something she’s probably actually average, if she thinks she’s average at something she’s probably actually quite good. When applying for jobs most women will only apply if they meet almost all criteria, whereas men will apply if they meet a lot less, say 60-75% of criteria. It’s easy to see why women have this confidence gap, imagine from birth being told things like “you can’t do that, you’re a girl!” “Your pretty good, for a girl” “you throw, like a girl.” You hit, like a girl” et cetera et cetera. Research shows by the time girls hit puberty their confidence plummets compared to their male peers. The second problem is gender bias. Whether conscious or unconscious, certain roles have deep ingrained gender stereotypes, for example when I say nurse, most people think ‘female’ when I say pilot they think ‘male’ and screenplay writer is a traditionally male dominated job so naturally screenplays by men will get read/picked up more often.
To solve these problems will take a massive social shift in how we think about, talk about and treat girls and women along with programs in schools and workplaces to build females confidences back to match their male peers. Men can help by being champions for the women in their life. If your daughter/sister/mother etc says ‘oh I can’t do that’, tell them they can. If they underestimate their abilities, tell them. Give them the confidence back that society has taken from them. Then maybe those women who think they're "not bad" writers will realize they're actually good and really could make a career out of it.
There are actually a large number of females writing scripts, but its all stages of the process. From writers, to producers and studio execs and directors etc. When men hold a majority of those positions, it is difficult for women to be heard. For some reason studios don't think female led films will be successful despite evidence proving otherwise.
@@masoncampbell971 Oh ffs! Most of those "studies" are pure BS and those journals have been busted twice now for academic corruption. First in the Sokal hoax in the 90's, and again just recently by the sokal squared hoaxes. Just look at the garbage studies that get passed in that garbage corner of academia... th-cam.com/video/kVk9a5Jcd1k/w-d-xo.html
There isn’t a female late night host.
You've got good observation skills haven't you?..
It's almost like men and women are attracted to different jobs.
ya but how many female day time shows are there? Too many too count
Chelsea Handler
Yes, Two-Faced was intentional.
cant wait to see her in Jurrasic Park Fallen Kingdom
#TimesUp ftw!
She probably didn't see Mad Max Fury Road, that movie is women talking and Max literally grunting every once in a while
Davide Manfro Yeah and the best part was that they got to kill the main villain too, tom didn't took that away!!!
Just one joke, there are plenty of movies every year with women as leading character; just look at the movies from last year oscars...i don't see the issue. It's just a nonsense battle whose result is to extend the gap and the differences instead of reducing it.
one movie ? how about new Ghosbusters and Pitch Perfect ?
Oh you mean the movie where women play the roles of sex slaves who need to be rescued from a tyranical man with the aid of another man called Max in order to succeed? If you think Mad Max is a shining example of female empowerment and proof there is no blatent misogyny in the industry then you are sadly mistaken.
I mean the movie where a bunch of women get rescued by another woman (Furiosa), free a man in chains (Max) whose only role is to help those women to take down the evil man...and Max is the man whose name is in the title (not to mention that Furiosa was originally heading to a land of strong and fighting women).
Going further, i'm not saying that there are no differences, i'm saying that thing that she brought to the show and that association will not help and that the differences are not that big anyway, given all the movies that come out every year
Kiss at 4:34
wait guys maybe shes just high
Love you the founder of Wendy's!
Hmmm I wonder if she wrote these scripts to make them look bad if somebody knows the films these are from reply
Jessica: Until recently, movies tended to underdevelop female characters and push them into sideline roles.
This comment section: Women appear in movies all the time just look at this movie where the only woman was a useless damsel in distress.
She's so hot. Ugh
Especially in mollys game
Go female empowerment!!!
What is this!!!!
feminist on its knee
How are female roles underwritten?
You know what that just proved? Jimmy is still a man. He supports these things just to be noble, but that fucking grin of his....Lord, if they ever make another Two-Faced movie....
This is Molly's Game.
I don't like how it can be a true story like a war movie and people want it like "we need more girls and blacks in Dunkirk or hurt locker"
And those were a bad example of a Hollywood script
I like her, I understand the idea of the issue, but this is just stupid...
kuksz Didn't she try to compare her paycheck with Matt Damon's..... Despite him being the star of the film?
I don't entirely agree with the notions shown here - I think it's more present in cliche films, or films not made by great directors and more like Weinstien type - like Quentin, Tim Burton, Brian Singer, Christopher Nolan, Greta Gerwig - these guys don't have movies like this. But generally speaking it's present - and that needs to change, equal opportunities are very important. But I don't like movies that are built simply for the sake of woman empowerment, sort of like a Mary Sue.
Correct me if im wrong, but arent the four frontrunners for best picture female lead movies, Lady Bird, The Post, Shape of Water and Three Bilboards? Not to mention her own movie, Mollys Game and I Tonya This crying about bad roles for women is bullshit!
dont forget Ghosbusters
but have you tried considering the ratio of male leads to female from movies produced last year IN TOTALITY? if anything ur statement just implies that women lead movies are more award worthy
justine She makes it seem like women only get shitty roles, that is not true!
Troy Goldberg that is the cringiest thing i've ever read lmao
Hellooo... ur examples are a result of a progress that has just happened recently... she's pointing out what has happened since a long time ago
Love you Isla Fisher!
If this was actually how woman lines were in movies, then I rather be a woman because my job would just contain less work and less effort, for good pay.
Jessica greatness
Good idea
Bad execution
Hahaha
isn't chastain in like.... A LOT of movies as the lead?
why is everyone acting like she's talking about her own roles
Dan man yeah god forbids she wants other actresses to have the same opportunities she had. its using your voice to help others to have the same chances you had. something men never did :)
May Majed why god forbid? I’m sure she does want other females in lead roles
zoe why u assume I assume
yeah man i was being sarcastic because you said she has a lot of lead, implying she shouldn't be complaining, while she is here using her voice to help actresses to get the same chances she had.
There has been so female lead roles this year. I really don’t get this....
Edit: last year
Before 1k club, check in below
This seems to be extreme exaggeration of what a female role is in a film.
I’m all for woman empowerment (being a woman) but this is a tad bit exaggerated
😍😍😍
Women want better scripts for female characters, how about writing them, then instead of expecting men to do it?
Wtf never thought of that
And this comment needs more appreciation
Want honest? :)
Chastain is good at chastising Hollywood but the best way to stop the imbalance of womens acting roles "of all races" is to have more female writers, producers and directors. Maybe also have females do all of the above with movies about more important but somewhat overlooked females in history like the Jewish female physicist of the 1920's who discovered nuclear fusion, or the black female pioneer who founded a black college at the turn of the last century IN THE SOUTH, or maybe the black female pilot that flew missions against the Nazi's in WWII, or the thousands of other examples. Tons of good stories that will probably never be made because females with talent like Jessica just want to act or bitch about acting roles for females.
but you are so naive and stupid you actually think there are no roles for women or interesting roles and that premise literally makes no sense...a cause based on a premise that LITERALLY makes no sense
Well, to actually demonstrate the point she could've used a real script rather than this bullshit.
What matters is the point she wanted to make.
Yeah, but making up shit to prove it doesn't prove it.
If I said 1 of every 5 Jessica Chastain movies is awful, then I made my own stat-sheet full of reviews that I totally made up, that doesn't prove my point because I've completely fabricated my evidence.
If she'd have brought in real scripts for real movies, that's real evidence to prove a real point. Bringing in a made-up script for a made-up movie, isn't real evidence and leans you more towards the point being just as made-up since she doesn't have real evidence to prove it.
Rips I get what you mean but it might’ve been a last minute thing or there could be legal issues involved where as NBC won’t allow it or some shit or she doesn’t wanna downplay an actors role using a real script. Not making excuses for it but just sayin we don’t know the reason why she used made up scripts but either way she’s trying to bring awareness to a problem. How she’s doing it is irrelevant
Jimmy has clearly rehearsed this ahead of time despite acting as if he hadn't. This wasn't a last minute idea.
Rips so like everything else on the Tonight Show? Jimmy's laughs are even rehearsed at this point.
This is true to life tho. IRL romantic interactions generally start with the man taking most of the initiative and doing most of the talking. Tbh, my impression was that women themselves prefer it that way. I don't see many of them eager to step up and lead interactions with random men.
If this happens a lot why didn’t they use actual scripts as examples
liv5776 copyright?
Get in trouble
it would make the movies and the producers look bad
liv5776 because they could face legal troubles due to copyright or just bad blood. They work in the industry you know. It’s like if you wanted to make fun of your boss with him around you wouldn’t actually say your boss’ name, just hint at him.
She's a fox.
Gu hubhi
I was raised by a single mom, grandmother, and Aunt along with my younger sister and all of them are strong independent women. We are no where near wealthy, like the Actors and Actresses. However, What stood out to me was that Jessica said,” they were raising money to aid in the “TimesUp” movement. There were probably over trillions of dollars of Actors at the Golden Globes who are wanting those who financially make less than them to donate money to help those in the Film Industry.... The Wealthy and Mainstream Media have a way to fool the American People.
endless tv shows..I see nothing but women taking over.
this doesn't happen
Isn't it all not about misrepresentation..but rather just examples of bad Hollywood writing..? :D
If it’s all wet and juicy, that doesn’t make it ok...
Pretty sure this is only going to apply to white and black females only. I’d rather see improvement in asian representation first.
I think they could have used real scripts and made a more powerful point rather than using obvious parody material. I'm all for more women in movies like Mas-Max and Star-Wars (I'm actually fine with male dominate power fantasy movies though) but building such a strawman degrades this so much.
females have been getting amazing roles on film and tv for the past 3 decades.
They've have amazing parts that are not sexist.
you did, and you are not welcome
Men in the comment section be like: “wut?” “What is this bullshit?” “This is so stupid”
You really don’t get the point, do you? Lol
What is the point, exactly?
As a woman this just stupid
We get the point. But its a false premise.
Women in the comment section be like: "Haha." "I'm a victim of everything." "This is so great."
You really don't get the point, do you? LMAOLOLOLOL
Elena Saccon There is no point, fake scripts to support a fake problem.
wut
