Anne Hathaway nõiafilm haavab puudega inimesi (1)

Hollywoodi täht Anne Hathaway palub avalikult vabandust, et tema uus film „Nõiad“ võib puudega inimeste tundeid haavata.

Hathaway kehastab Roald Dahli raamatu ekraniseeringus nõida, kel on kummalgi käel vaid kolm sõrme. See meenutab ektrodaktüülia-nimelist kaasasündinud häiret, kirjutab EW.com.

I have recently learned that many people with limb differences, especially children, are in pain because of the portrayal of the Grand High Witch in The Witches.  Let me begin by saying I do my best to be sensitive to the feelings and experiences of others not out of some scrambling PC fear, but because not hurting others seems like a basic level of decency we should all be striving for. As someone who really believes in inclusivity and really, really detests cruelty, I owe you all an apology for the pain caused. I am sorry. I did not connect limb difference with the GHW when the look of the character was brought to me; if I had, I assure you this never would have happened. I particularly want to say I’m sorry to kids with limb differences: now that I know better I promise I’ll do better. And I owe a special apology to everyone who loves you as fiercely as I love my own kids: I’m sorry I let your family down. If you aren’t already familiar, please check out the @Lucky_Fin_Project (video above) and the #NotAWitch hashtag to get a more inclusive and necessary perspective on limb difference.

Hathaway sai enda sõnul hiljuti teada, et tema tegelaskuju on paljudele jäsemepuudega inimestele, iseäranis lastele haiget teinud. „Inimesena, kes tõesti usub kaasavusse ja vihkab kõigest südamest julmust, võlgnen teile põhjustatud valu eest andekspalumise. Ma kahetsen.“

Näitlejanna toonitab: ta ei olnud oma tegelaskuju välimust osanud ektrodaktüüliaga seostada. „Vastasel juhul poleks seda juhtunud.“ Ta lubab edaspidi targem olla ja sellistest prohmakatest hoiduda.
