      Arthur Chu Retweeted Droll 20 (he/him/his)

      This is auteur theory's fault Tons of people on set could've and should've pushed back -- the kids' parents shouldn't have taken the job, Vic Morrow should've just walked out -- but Hollywood had this ingrained culture that directors were geniuses and you didn't question themhttps://twitter.com/JoshuaHumphrey/status/1335278128797790208 …

      I would love this movie. If anyone is more interested in a detailed accounting of what happened here, "Outrageous Conduct" by Stephan Farber is out of print but I know Hennepin County has a copy because that's the one I read. https://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1335109484335616000 …

      Spielberg, to his credit, gave a whole big quote about this when asked That maybe it took a tragedy as big as this one for people to collectively realize that these genius directors are full of shit and don't automatically even understand basic common sense, much less "art"

      He said it doesn't matter why the director tells you to do something crazy If it seems crazy -- if you have that sinking feeling in the pit of your stomach that you don't feel safe doing it -- it is not just everyone in the cast and crew's right but their DUTY to call "Cut!"

      This is really important Like, this whole thing happened because of so-called "bystander syndrome" Whether you're the actor in question, or an actor not in the scene, or a fucking extra, or the PA who brings people coffee, or a rando friend/family visiting the set

      How the fuck could all these people see something as obviously out-of-control and horrifying as this helicopter shoot with the little kids and just watch it go down -- FILM it going down It's only even possible because of how big-budget Hollywood was run like a cult

      Military-like hierarchy where it's super fucking important everyone knows their place in the pecking order and nobody talks back to someone above them in the chain of command if they want to keep on working in movies Fucking magnet for creeps and abusers and wackjobs at the top

      Guys like John Landis were drawn to making movies -- and stubbornly refused to find a job other than making movies after he caused the worst moviemaking scandal of his generation -- because there's no other job where you get to tell so many people what to do unquestioned

          This has changed dramatically, based on my experience in film production. A good stunt coordinator absolutely will refuse to let a camera roll if they think the stunt is unsafe. A stunty who won't stand up to the bosses on safety issues is bad at their job.

          And at least on our show, the 1stAD is in charge of on set safety. And ours are pitbulls when it comes to that. I'm an EP, and I've been yelled at for leaning on a safety railing by the 1stAD on our show.

          Replying to @arthur_affect @RubyChan228

          I’m really kind of excited to see where filmmaking goes from here. I mean we’ve seen similar stuff from gen-x directors who were more independent but still had to be “the guy who could make people do stuff” to get their breaks. As tech advances even more who knows?
