not to be “that one friend who’s too woke” but does anyone else feel like sometimes nathan for you gets too close to just actual sexual harassment? with stuff like the episode where he makes the actress say “i love you” to him like a dozen times, for example. like we, as the audience, know he’s playing a character of a deeply socially unaware guy desperate for even fake affection, but to this woman, this is just a really creepy guy using his power as the director and the power the camera crew affords him to make her say she loves him. in a scripted show, it’s a really funny sort of take down of those sorts of people nathan’s parodying, but if we’re to accept that the only real scripting is weaving together the takes that involve these out of the loop people into a narrative, it’s kinda awful for her. anyone else see my point?
>>214180245Shut the fuck up faggot
>>214180245How did you get that picture of me?
>be actress>role offered>script includes "i love you" sentence>director makes me repeat it so many times it feels like he's starting to believe itHELP I'M BEING RAPED
>>214180245the actress from that episode actually spoke about that and was fine with it fwiw. so you don't need to white knight for her.quote:>I started rehearsing with the scene partner and he directed us for awhile. He showed us some footage of the bar for context and told us it would be a ’moving piece of performance art.’ When he stepped in for the other actor and we started rehearsing the scene together, I did still feel like he was just trying to get it right. Some directors (though it’s rare) do actually do that, so it wasn’t too strange. He seemed like a normal director. Kind of. I studied Meisner in NYC and spent HOURS doing repetition exercises, so at first it wasn’t odd to narrow in on a phrase. At first he was giving some feedback and guidance, and then it started to become apparent maybe after the fourth time or so that we weren’t exactly doing that. Honestly, we were locking eyes and I was just focused on trying to get the tonality and the emotion of the phrase right. Maybe 10 times in or so it was just sort of trance-like and I could tell he was getting emotional, which started to make me feel emotional too. I remember feeling this immense sense of empathy for what appeared to be a pretty lonely, nice person. I couldn’t tell if we were acting anymore. I didn’t exactly mind that our scene had turned into something else. So it wasn’t weird for me. I was just kind of worried for him. And then we just went back to rehearsing as if nothing had happened. On the day of the ‘performance,’ he was running around trying to get everything right. He was super nice to everyone and really sweet.>We practiced moving in exact time to the video for several hours. It was weird but strangely satisfying. At the end he let us know what had been going on. I thought the episode was lovely and Nathan For You is one of my all-time favorite shows. He’s a genius. It was a fun time.
>>214180245He's probably trying to push the boundaries of what is acceptable or not. If no one talked abou it it wouldn't be art
>>214180245I'm a communist and you are a thin-skinned bitch lib.
>>214180302This is very sweet but also very sad.
>>214180245What's the difference between flirting with a woman and sexually harassing her?
>>214180529Whether she decides she likes it or not.
I think sometimes the show does exploit unaware honest people for comedic effect but that example isn't it
>>214180245>that pic100 percent me
