Sony Hack / Hollywood’s Women Problem & Politics: The broader question raised by the Rudin/Pascal e-mails is whether Jolie is being treated unfairly for being a female actor-turned director. Ben Affleck, Clint Eastwood, Mel Gibson, Warren Beatty & Kevin Costner get a free pass, the argument goes, but Angelina isnt allowed to break out of her role as a pretty face or to make a movie about a quintessential male topic, war. Shes therefore labeled a brat when she embarks on a passion project & the movie gets dissed. Rudin & Pascal seem to me the brats here, but I do think its fair to ponder whether women filmmakers face steeper odds in being respected.
