Re: Great actors cast in the wrong role

[(Anonymous)]

I haven't seen the Martian but I totally understand your complaint, what makes it worse is that it's usually always the actress/female love interest who is WAYYYY younger but then the lead actor will actually be old as all hell.

If the actor is casted younger maybe I wouldn't notice but it's so awkward looking at a woman in her 20s that is supposed to somehow be roughly the same age as a man in is 40s/50s/60s/and beyond.

That shit also REALLY rustles my jimmies. 50 year old male lead, 20 year old female love interest shit has GOT to stop. Mostly because it legitimizes creepy old bastards harassing younger women (mostly service staff because they're forced to be polite) since the media they consume convinced them that was a legitimate thing women want.

Fucking fuck THAT shit.

NAYRT--as a woman who's always been attracted to older guys, this actually bugs me a lot, at least partially for petty reasons. Because "ew why do you like him he's so old" but also "oh I loved that movie I'd totally go for *actor who's 20-30+ years older than female costar/love interest.*" And I'm sitting here going "uh you realize he's way older than her, right, and if I said that about a real life guy you'd be ragging on me about my gross taste in men?" Which gets extra awful and annoying when a rare movie/show casts an older woman opposite an older man but only the woman is "ew so old!" Like, I'm not attracted to women, but it's not like their acting ability goes poof when they hit their thirties (or *gasp* fifties.)

Oh don't get me wrong here, it's not the age gap that's actually the problem. It's the fact the roles are so rigidly gendered.

I'd be completely fine with this if it was the case that older women routinely got younger male love interests that weren't some component of gross out comedy, or meant purely for shock value.
