Would this affect your decision to watch or not a movie?

[Anonymous]

Either in a movie screen or streaming but you pay attention to the issue before deciding to watch it? Or it won't affect you and you will still watch it and go to the movies?

I had found that many movie goers pay a lot of attention to the personal life of the movie star and many times if the so called actor or actress personal life is shady or questionable they decide not to watch the movie, regardless if the movie will be entertaining because at the end they are just actor (a job like any other job) and they are to entertain a public not the public to get involved in their personal lives. So for many movie goers is important to know if a certain celebrity is republican or democrat, or if it supports jews, muslims, Jehova`s witness, christians, Mormons, etc or follows social issues that are cuestionables, this is jsut to name examples but there are many more issues out there.

To explain more. There is this known and famous and successful actor who will make a new movie next year with great cast. The actor seemed he had a personal serious issue with his ex many years ago and they got a divorce but the actor continues to be successful for his job not his personal life despite of his serious issue with his ex that was public knowledge. So he will have a new movie next year and some movie goers says "I won't watch a movie with that actor, he was unfaithful and mistreated his ex". Then other movie goer said on social media: "I won't watch a movie that includes a zionist (another actor from the cast)". It is like Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt examples, despite of how bad they are as parents (private personal life) they both continue to have success in their public life (not personal life) .

So it is it really important to be affected by the personal life of a celebrity before deciding to go and watch a movie or you just go to the movies or watch movies to b e entertained as simple as that you dont care about the celeb personal life, that is their issue not the public issue? Actors are there to entertain and tell stories through their public work.

So, the thing is by choosing not to support them, the public is making it clear to the studios that hire these actors that they won’t pay them (and subsequently the actor) if they feel they aren’t deserving of the famed status they’ve achieved following whatever heinous thing they did. Honestly, after the Depp vs Heard trials, I find it difficult to support either one of them and don’t want to give them my money. By refusing to attend/watch the public is making it clear they don’t want to be entertained by that person and they will eventually lose their jobs. And honestly, they’ll most likely be perfectly fine without those jobs, especially if they’re at Depp or Heard’s levels of fame

I can separate the art from the artist most of the time, but celebrities who have done really terrible things, i boycott entirely.
I didn’t get to see the sequel to “Aquaman” because i refuse to contribute to Amber Heard’s wealth and celebrity. She’s human trash, as far as i’m concerned. I dumped my Disney+ subscription when they didn’t make amends with Johnny Depp after he won the lawsuit against her.

I won't watch certain actors. Two examples are child predators like Kevin Spacey, even though he is a good actor, or avowed Israel supporters, or people who promote woke liberal causes.
And then there are certain actors I just don't like and certain subject matter that doesn't interest me.

[AI Opinion]

I focus on the art itself rather than the personal lives of those involved. A movie's story, direction, and performances are what draw me in. While it's understandable that someone's personal choices could affect their public perception, I try to separate the artist from their personal life when it comes to enjoying their work. My primary goal is to appreciate the creativity and talent that goes into making a film, regardless of the cast's personal circumstances. 🎥🌟

I only have three question before, during and after:

Will I not be entertained?

Am I not entertained?

Was I not entertained?

I will never watch a movie with robert diNiro in it. He obviously did too much cocaine and his brain is boiled.

[DryGermanGuy]

Smart decision there, Holmes. DeNiro is considered one of the best actors out there. His movies are fantastic.

[exitseven]

@DryGermanGuy he is a brain damaged has been.

[Xawyx-2]

I don't care what actors are in the movie, if I like the genre and the story, I'll watch it.

I don't go to the movies anymore.
