Ashley Judd criticizes 1995 film Heat's depiction of women
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story. The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it."
"In the movie, many of the male characters are shown going after high-end goals, whether it be making money, catching bad guys or simply chasing the thrill. Meanwhile, the female characters' struggles often serve to highlight the men and their all-consuming dedication to their professions. Reflecting on the film's depiction of women in a new interview with Vulture, Judd admitted it is not OK."
Ashley Judd is examining her career through an observational and critical lens. She first established herself as an indie darling in the 1993 romantic drama Ruby in Paradise and later starred in Michael Mann's 1995 crime thriller Heat. Heat centers on a high-stakes cat-and-mouse game between a criminal mastermind and a detective, with Judd portraying Charlene Shiherlis, the wife of Val Kilmer's character. Many male characters pursue money, justice, or thrill, while female characters' struggles often highlight men's professional dedication. Judd finds the film's depiction of women unacceptable. The Independent prioritizes on-the-ground reporting and remains free of paywalls, relying on reader support.
