Webdesk: Natalie Portman talked about how sad she was that the Time’s Up movement, which she helped start, was coming to an end.
On January 1, 2018, female Hollywood stars started the movement in response to the Harvey Weinstein cases and the fast growth of the #MeToo movement.
Portman told the source, “It broke my heart that Time’s Up fell apart the way it did.”
“I think a lot of people did wrong, but wrongdoing is bad for action. You have to be so perfect to ask for the change you want, and I don’t know, maybe recognizing all our flaws as humans and saying that people can do something wrong and also be good at something else, having a few more shades of gray, might actually help us make more progress.
The former member of Black Swan also said that even though the movement stopped, a lot of good came from it. “There was something so powerful about getting together people who had through similar things and talking about them. And it led to so many amazing things that I think those ties have lasted and led to other great projects.”
She did say, though, that it was “still painful” that Time’s Up “doesn’t exist anymore as it was.”
She said that I think that we have to able to make mistakes and learn from them, and allow that.”
Also, Portman said, “Holding people to perfection standards is a great way to shut them up, because then everyone thinks, ‘Well, I shouldn’t say anything, because I’m not perfect.'”
