Have you changed your mind about Anne Hathaway?

Anne Hathaway has emerged stronger from the hate campaigns against her

Everyone hates Anne Hathaway. Or at least they hated it. That was about ten years ago: after a rapidly rising career with titles such as Becoming Jane, Brokeback Mountain and especially The devil wears Pradathe apex comes in 2013 with the Oscar won for film musical Les Miserables. At a time when every actress should have felt like they’ve finally arrived and been hailed, she found herself at the center of one online hate campaign (and, even if never fully openly declared, even in certain media): it had become the target of jokes, gossip, unfounded indiscretions, absurd and malicious theories. She was at the epicenter of theHathahate.

Even prestigious magazines like the New Yorker and the New York Times have tried over time to trace the reasons for this widespread hatred in his regards. She is too beautiful, too good, too smiling, too determined, too perfect, too enthusiastic, even too harmless. Too mainstream but also too bold in alternating blockbuster titles and other more authorial artistic choices. All qualities that one should instinctively appreciate but which a Hollywood, world of shadows and conspiraciesare viewed with suspicion. So here is the underground image of an irritable, false, haughty young diva, too self-confident to be really genuine and authentic. Slowly the poisonous chatter of the haters (indeed of the Hathhater) online has moved on to other targets, usually other budding actresses, from Jennifer Lawrence to – more recently – Olivia Wilde, but its effects have remained there, to settle.

“Don’t hate your mouth, love your life”

Hathaway has long avoided commenting on the phenomenon, but now she’s ready to move on. At the 29th annual event of She uses titled Women in Hollywoodthe actress – soon in the cinema with the historical film Armaggeddon Time: The time of the apocalypse – faced the situation head-on: “Ten years ago I was given the opportunity to look at hate speech from another perspective. Just to clarify, it was a language I had been using with myself since I was seven years old. But when the pain you inflict on yourself is returned to you amplified by, say, the whole web… it’s another thing,” she said: “When what happened, I realized that I didn’t want to have anything more to do with it. do with that kind of energy. On no level. I no longer wanted to create art out of hate. I didn’t want to reserve a space for it, live terrified of it, or use its language for any reason. To anyone, not even myself.”

For Anne Hathaway being overwhelmed by such a wave of hatred was an opportunity to grow and to develop a kind of form of optimism. This is why he turns to a little girl who, in a parking lot, has heard her mother say that she hated her own mouth: “To that little girl I say: please her, little one, don’t hate your mouth. Because, Inshallah, will kiss the love of your life; will speak your brightest thoughts; it will unleash your righteous anger; he will forgive, he will sing, he will shout for joy, he will express wonder. And if you’re lucky she’ll taste the soil of our precious Earth in a moment of electrifying gratitude,” the actress said in a momentum of participation: “Don’t hate your mouth, love your life”.
