GIRLCRUSH BEING AWESOME.

Emily Browning defends Sucker Punch from the harsh "sexism" criticism.

But Browning, 22, is adamant she doesn't agree with accusations the film objectifies women, telling Britain's BBC, "I find the idea that it's sexist really bizarre. The sexism is within the story of the film. Within the brothel, the girls are being objectified but that doesn't mean the film is doing the same. It's really about these girls breaking free."

Girlfriend speaks the truth, and it's kind of sad that it needs to be said because it's sort of obvious that while it's present in the story the film never, ever advocates sexism against women. That's like accusing Harry Potter of teaching witchcraft to kids and completely missing the point of what the story is actually about. But I'm glad that Emily Browning has her head on her shoulders and doesn't really mind that there's criticism. It's being talked about, whether positive or negative, it's getting a reaction from people. Thankfully, I'm seeing more positivity from others now that they've actually seen the film instead of relying on critic reviews or pre-judging based on trailers or other people's opinions.

This isn't the first time Emily Browning is very adamant about her opinions. She also recently exclaimed her outrage over the MPAA forcing Zack Snyder to cut a particular scene which would show her character being comfortable and in control over her sexuality. They deemed it unacceptable and she called them out on such idiocy, and I love her even more for it.

I just love Emily Browning the more I see her interviews, okay? ♥

She's about two years younger than me! It's so bizarre! Then again, I have to remind myself that Lady Gaga is the exact age as I am. lol @ my sad little life. ;p

Emily is becoming one of my favorite actresses right now, because she not only seems to legitimately enjoy what she does but she's not afraid of giving her opinions, and she also seems to be perfectly grounded with her head on her shoulders. Not to mention adorable. ♥

I'll just be here, with my computer and game machines, nomming on pizza. /21-year-old nerd
I always forget Lady Gaga is so young... !

I haven't seen her in... anything? (A Series of Unfortunate Events!- aside from that) but based on all these interviews I keep seeing, she seems absolutely wonderful. Not to mention pretty as hell ♥

She was also in The Uninvited (the American remake of the Korean horror A Tale Of Two Sisters), but you're right aside from that and ASOUE I haven't seen her in anything else. Nonetheless, after this film I think she has a solid career ahead of her because I think she's extremely talented and intelligent.

I haven't watched that 'cause I can't stand horror films. (and.. I kinda watched half of the original and got creeped out so badly D:) Well, she's very young and I'm sure will have way more roles ahead of her!

Hehe, I love the original because it's not your standard horror movie. It's pretty sad, actually, but very effective with the creepiness in several scenes. Then again, I love horror films so this isn't news for me to say this. ^_^
