'Wicked' Star Marissa Bode Speaks Out Against Ableist Comments on Her Character

Actress Marissa Bode is calling for more kindness after facing hurtful ableist comments on social media regarding her portrayal of Nessarose in Wicked. In a heartfelt TikTok video posted on Saturday, Bode, who uses a wheelchair, shared her experience of receiving "gross and harmful" remarks since the film’s release.

Bode plays Elphaba's (Cynthia Erivo) sister, Nessarose, whose complicated relationship with Elphaba has sparked debates among viewers. While the film differs slightly from the musical, Bode’s performance has drawn particular attention, especially regarding her character's disability.

Although Bode emphasized that it's perfectly fine to dislike a fictional character, she expressed discomfort with the aggressive comments focused on Nessarose’s disability. “Disability is not fictional,” she stated, adding that jokes about her character’s inability to walk or harmful comments such as “push Nessa out of her wheelchair” are deeply upsetting.

Bode acknowledged that many of these comments come from ignorance but stressed the importance of standing up against such harmful behavior, particularly for the sake of younger individuals who may be affected by these words. She reminded followers of the importance of kindness and understanding, invoking Wicked’s core lesson about empathy.

"Please be kind," Bode urged, adding, "One of the major themes within Wicked is having the ability to listen and understand one another, and I hope many of you can carry that with you."

Sind wir denn sicher, dass Jules nicht mehr dabei ist? Weil dey wohnt ja scheinbar in Leipzig, was relativ nah ist, könnte ja sein, dass dey nur ab und zu hinfahren muss...?

Während der Dreharbeiten muss man in Erfurt bzw. der näheren Umgebung wohnen. Gerade wenn man noch zur Schule geht, weil man direkt nach der Schule abgeholt und zum Set gebracht wird.

Außerdem wurde bei der letzten Verlosung das Kleid, das Julia bei Filmcasting trägt, verlost und bisher war das immer ein Zeichen dafür, dass ein Charakter nicht mehr bzw. nur noch als Nebencharakter dabei ist.

Stars vs. Unknowns: The Casting Tug-of-War in Film

The Balance of Casting in Hollywood and Indie Films

The film casting world is a delicate dance between well-known Hollywood icons and independent film preferences. This landscape is both captivating and intricate, with clear distinctions between casting decisions made in Hollywood and those in the indie film sector. Recognizing these differences provides a deeper understanding of the creative and financial dynamics that influence the film industry.

Difference in Casting Choices

Hollywood productions frequently aim to cast A-list celebrities. The appeal of famous actors guarantees a certain audience draw and delivers a level of financial reassurance. Conversely, indie films often choose lesser-known or unknown actors. This approach affords indie filmmakers more creative liberty and the latitude to experiment. Industry authority Ted Hope notes, "Indie films can take greater chances with their casting, leading to breakout performances and careers."

Impact of Star Power

Star power undeniably has a profound impact in Hollywood. Big names bring instant recognition and a built-in fanbase that often results in higher box office numbers. However, this star power can sometimes eclipse the film's story, causing a disconnect with the audience. On the other hand, indie films can benefit from including star actors for additional credibility, but high salary demands can be a significant financial hurdle. This contradiction can prevent indie films from casting big names, despite the associated prestige.

Cast Diversity

In recent years, Hollywood has made steps towards more diverse casting choices, but progress is slow. Independent films often lead the charge in diverse casting, representing a broader array of lives and stories. Director Ava DuVernay remarks, "Independent film is where the edges are. It's where you find the new voices, new perspectives, and new stories."

Talent Recruitment

Hollywood relies heavily on talent agencies and managers to find and secure top actors. Indie films, however, employ a more grassroots strategy. These films often discover talent through film festivals, workshops, and online platforms. Billy Hopkins, a casting director, states, "In indie film, you have to be more resourceful and open-minded in your search for talent."

Celebrity Influence in Films

Hollywood stars frequently wield significant influence over the direction and tone of a film. Their involvement can shape the creative process and alter the final product. In indie films, while celebrity influence can add value, it must be carefully balanced with the filmmaker's creative vision. As director Kevin Smith says, "When you work with a star, you have to be aware of their power and influence, but also stay true to your vision as a filmmaker."

The contrast between Hollywood and indie film casting reflects broader trends and challenges in the film industry. Hollywood's reliance on star power can overshadow the narrative, whereas independent films, through their creative freedom, spotlight diverse voices and fresh talent. Both sectors offer invaluable lessons in balancing commercial success with artistic integrity, ultimately enhancing the film landscape for audiences everywhere.

4DX movies: The Little Mermaid

TL/DR summary: At some Regal cinemas, including the Meridian in Seattle, they have 4DX movies which include chairs that rock and shake, water and wind effects. Although it’s not an experience I would do many times, it was a lot of fun for the right movie, for adults and older kids. Last week, I was listening to the Filmcast podcast, and they shared an email from a listener who had joined a…
