James McAvoy: Dominance of Rich-Kid Actors in the U.K. Is "Damaging for Society"

Based. Upper class oxbridge poshos have a monopoly on the acting industry, lots of talent out there not being able to make it because they don't have those private school connections.

>ve in, because as soon as you get one tiny pocket of society creating all the arts, or culture starts to become representative not of everybody but of one tiny part,
brainlet bong, that's already the case. the average creator of media in the west has nothigng in common with the average common man even if they don't come from a particularly good family. you're immediately selecting for a certain type. idk why you people see everything through gay class platitudes.

anyway, some of the best art was made under highly stratified societies so maybe its for the best

Mcvoy could punch fuck of those 2 english fannys

Yeah and I donate to cancer research, doesn't mean I'm actually doing anything about it other than throwing some money their way

>That's a frightening world to live in, because as soon as you get one tiny pocket of society creating all the arts

wut

jews arent really in charge of studios in bongland
well, a lot of their best families have jewish blood but yo uget the point

>"posh" private school educated actors
That's a roundabout way of saying poofters

But it's true. The only way to succeed in acting and writing in the UK is to be posh and end up with the Cambridge Footlights or some other elitist circle, or be from London and by luck of the draw end up as one of the RSC or National Theatre's token blacks

damn this nigga smart

Oy vey! Shut it down!

>If the trends are allowed to continue, McAvoy said, "That's a frightening world to live in, because as soon as you get one tiny pocket of society creating all the arts, or culture starts to become representative not of everybody but of one tiny part, and that's not fair to begin with, but it's also damaging for society.”
Art has always been a middle class up to elite pastime. Poor families don't have the time and resources to spend practicing a craft every day for years that doesn't have any tangible material gains.

>muh juice
fucking incels

>That's a frightening world to live in, because as soon as you get one tiny pocket of society creating all the arts
Well for better or worse that's always been the case because art is a business and the people with the money have the power

Based

most of these actors that pretend to "grow up on the streets" when you actually look into it they grew up well off. He worked at a bakery to put himself through school, big fucking deal, most people have to do shit like that. waaaa

that's it? lmao what a crybaby faget

>most of these actors that pretend to "grow up on the streets" when you actually look into it they grew up well off.
Yeah it's all bullshit, there are very few rags to riches stories, people in genuine poverty are usually stuck that way for life

>based and true
I always see this complaint leveled against us, but where's the truth in it? Film and television have never been your strong suits. In fact your older films are actually your most simple and easy.

Just seems like a transparent way to blame people across the ocean who never watch your stuff anyway for low competence.

I don't see how Filth is "dumbed down" in any way. The movie is pure kino. Just because it's got gritty, sleazy subject matter doesn't change the fact it's well made.

>just before Last Class
>he starred in Wanted

>because as soon as you get one tiny pocket of society creating all the arts, or culture starts to become representative not of everybody but of one tiny part, and that's not fair to begin with, but it's also damaging for society
fucking anti-semite

Shut up bitch. Useless garbage!

>Is he right?

100% Your only chance to break into UK arts if you are working class is if you are from London, and even then it's very difficult. Things were totally different in the 70s and 80s, UK acting is just another elite circle jerk now, just like the art scene.

no because the actors have absolutely nothing to do with the content being produced. they're puppets for the director.

ya but his point about "a small set of people" is stupid because the directors and writers will still be from that small set, as they always have been

Alan Rickman was just the son of a painter... only got into acting because of the grammar schools.

I think this is a subtle - we need more niggers and muzzies - cry

In general. And even the ones from working class background will be pretty quickly assimilated

seething poorfag scott

He grew up in one of the poorest areas in Glasgow, were the life expectancy is around 45/50 user. Although he went to a school in Jordan hill which is one of the richest. So make of that what you will. Worked with his sister joy years ago they really weren’t that well off.

He's actually right.

It doesn't have to be that way. You can fix it but you don't want to.

somewhat probably but just look at your "comedians" half went to the same school

Based, and it didn't always use to be this way either. Actors form working class backgrounds like Ray Winstone and Gary Oldman were able to get scholarships to drama schools.

Not just actors, but most fucking arts jobs, let alone film production. How the fuck anyone but a rich shit with mammy and daddy paying for them into the mid-20s while they do internships can make it is an utter fantasy.

>as soon as you get one tiny pocket of society creating all the arts, or culture
Wish he'd gone all the way and said what he was really thinking.

He's almost definitely right. But it's more complicated than that.
As a filmmaker, a casting agent, a producer, you don't want to meet to random chavs off the street. You want to work with people you'll get on with and who you won't be suspicious that they might rob you

thats not what he was thinking, Yas Forumstard hes a cuck who probably means he wants more indiands in media

The entire art world is an elitist circle jerk.
But luckily we live in an age where elitists' opinions matter less and less.

Is Tom Hardy working class? He seems to be the only successful chav actor other than Statham

People need to give up on their stupid fucking dreams anyways. What's the ratio of successful actors to people who threw away the prime of their lives to pursue a career in movies/television and never got anywhere? 1:10,000?

Didn't the old tierd school system used to pick out the talented kids from poor backgrounds and give them opportunities, before people decided it wasn't fair on the dumb kids and shut them all down?

no shit sherlocok, it has always been like this (well, past 80 years). Only rich kids with connections can afford going to actor school instead of getting a real job

>an acting career is becoming a purely elite thing.
no shit.

He's posh as fuck, his "working class" accents are pretty shitty.

>one tiny pocket of society creating all the arts
Couldn’t imagine what that’s like.

based post-war social democracy

>representative not of everybody

I would agree with McAvoy, but I feel that being "representative of everybody" at this stage would require art about posting on Facebook or watching Sky Sports.

what rich seam of experience does he think we're missing out on? being poor is just a shittier version of being middle-class at this point.

yeah it changed from an intelligence basis to wealth
