Each party has risks. Especially the long ones, I thought when I found out what happened at the celebration after the Feroz Awards. Earlier, he celebrated Almodóvar’s speech and drew our attention to the serious public health situation. I was sorry that the director’s bravery was overshadowed by the development of the after-party.
While I was still digesting those words, the assault and insult charges brought up during the celebration, mixed with countervailing comments that the accuser might have some responsibility for her dress and demeanor, came like a perfect storm.

Enough. Enough of pointing out those who seek a little protection from facts, those who touch, that this nonsense is accepted because it doesn’t appear to be what it is. miserable and deeply wrong. Fortunately, we live in these times when everyone can tell about it. Teach the wrong, the violent, that they can no longer commit abuse and feel protected.
The message and your comments made me think that the award and party should be separated to avoid the Association of Cinematographic Informants taking responsibility for something beyond their control. If it had happened during the gala, it would have been different. Although the celebration is something where guests also have a responsibility, as with any party, going over the line is just as much your thing as not going too far. I have friends who don’t share this suggestion. “The party has nothing to do with it,” they say.
I brought this up in the makeup room of one of the shows I work on and I almost got confused. It happens that in our community, that of television and cinema, for the technical team, the stars and the producers, a party is a stage where you combine fun with work. You would lose opportunities to cultivate your working life if these celebrations were condemned. Or they will be marked.
Now that I’m watching The Morning Show, this excellent drama about a TV show starring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, I understand that the world of entertainment has become a perfectly scripted cage. And that this strictness of the politically correct will increase after the incidents of this violent party.
But are we prepared for this profound change? A good friend told me that last week’s Feroz awards ceremony, with two ministers in the audience, the best actresses and the whole new generation of professionals having a good time, there might have been a bit of the Babylon scent in the movie The Most Complicated and longest film about Hollywood ever made. But that allows for this stark comparison. It’s the story of Hollywood’s early years, a creative, free and prosperous community on the verge of becoming a powerful industry and vehicle for North American propaganda with the advent of sound. The very epic film begins with a mad and raucous bacchanalia that mixes several morbid and powerful stories that have made Hollywood Babylon one of the must-reads of my generation. The film develops with almost the same debauchery that these stories try to reflect, and by the end we already know how it all ended. The violent death of an aspiring actress after an orgiastic night with a silent film star and the ensuing scandal gave rise to the Hays Code, named after its creator, a censor who helped Hollywood machine-rigid moral propaganda. The Fierce Party was not fiction. They were film people actually moving, and I understand that what happened is not only a good plot for a film, but also set a precedent in our way of having fun and controlling our impulses , if they go in a bad direction, will change. We have to thank Jedert and his decision, which allows the spirit of this hapless silent film starlet to rest better in the piece of heaven where he now shines.
