The DontWorryDarling drama has been overwhelming for us all. Here's an easy guide on how to explain all the chaos to your boomer parents.
The Don’t Worry Darling discourse has taken over Twitter, almost hijacked the Venice Film Festival, and could mark the end of Harry Styles' short-lived acting career. I do not have the authority to declare who is right or wrong in this situation. I have my opinions on it, but that’s not why I’m writing this. I am here to give younger people, particularly millennials and Gen Z’s, some life-saving advice.
Who's in Don't Worry Darling? It seems that amongst the chaos of illicit on-set relationships, feuds between actors and directors, and whether a pop star spat on an actor, we’ve forgotten what's at the center of all of this - a movie. First things first, you have got to ensure that your parents know exactly which film they know each actor from. So, for Florence Pugh, remind them of the Little Women reboot with Saoirse Ronan .
Why Does That Actress and the Director Hate Each Other? If your parents are anything like mine, names go out of their heads faster than Florence Pugh leaving that movie premiere. So, if they keep referring to the characters of this narrative as “that actress,” “the blonde one,” or “the man from Captain Galaxy , just sigh and acquiesce.
The next day, LaBeouf went to Variety to tell us what really happened. He claims that Wilde never fired him, but he left of his own accord because they were not given enough time to rehearse before filming began. He then gave a video to Variety that Olivia Wilde sent him back when this was happening. The video got leaked so now you must go on Twitter, search “Miss Flo,” and show your parents the video, and let their jaws drop.
What’s This I Hear About Venice? Do your parents ever reminisce on days when there’s been international breaking news and their eyes were glued to the screen along with the rest of the world, watching history unfold? We only experienced that recently with the death of that old lady in the big house. Well, not even "royalty" can compare to how closely people on Twitter were watching the rollout of the Don't Worry Darling Venice premiere.
