Emma Thompson - The Brainwashing Women Don’t Even Notice 💔

In this courageously honest and deeply healing video Academy Award winning actress Emma Thompson says something about women bodies and the mirror that most people feel every single day but rarely hear said out loud by someone so publicly celebrated. She cannot stand in front of a mirror without doing something. Pull something in. Turn to the side. Adjust. Hide. The idea of just standing there — still — without moving — looking at herself — feels horrifying. And she names exactly why. Women have been brainwashed all their lives to hate their bodies. Not subtly. Not occasionally. Consistently. Completely. From every direction. Everything that surrounds us reminds us how imperfect we are. Everything is wrong. You need to look like this. You need to be that. You need to fix this part and change that part and try harder and be less and be more and never just be. And so Emma Thompson issues the most quietly radical challenge. Try it. Stand in front of a mirror. Take the clothes off. Don’t move. Don’t turn away. Don’t adjust. Just stand there. Accept it. Don’t judge it. And she admits — with complete honesty — that it is the hardest thing she has ever had to do. Not a film role. Not a public performance. Not a difficult scene. Standing still and accepting herself. That is the work. And it starts today. Source: @berlinale Just believe in yourself. Thanks for watching.
