The other day it became known that the 32-year-old British actress Keira Knightley, who became famous for her roles in the films "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Anna Karenina", became the main character of the February issue of the magazine Variety. In it, Kira shared her interview with the interviewer with her thoughts on the harassment in Hollywood, and also talked about the collaboration with producer Harvey Weinstein and his preferences in the cinema.
Knightley spoke about the roles that impress her
The famous actress began her interview by telling about the scenarios that come to her and about how she works in what films she agrees:
"For the past few years, I have not fundamentally withdrawn in the pictures, the action of which is happening these days. This is not because I do not like the modern world, but because in such tapes, women are treated very badly. This is expressed primarily in the fact that the ribbons abound, if not violence, then necessarily bed scenes. In the past centuries, women were treated quite differently. In scenarios that immerse you, for example, in the XIX century disrespect will never be found. In them, on the contrary, you can imagine yourself as a high-society lady, who is given a hand and are afraid to touch once again. It's in such films that I really like to be shot. I am very pleased to realize that my heroine will not be raped or hurt. "
A few words about working with Harvey Weinstein
After Hollywood learned about the obscene behavior of the film producer Weinstein, his name does not come off the front pages of the newspapers. Many celebrities began to tell frankly that Harvey behaved with them in an unseemly manner. Kira also has an experience of communication with Weinstein, but she can not say anything bad about this man:
"I can not say anything terrible about Harvey. For me, he is a true professional in his field, who requires the actors to carry out his recommendations faithfully. I worked with him in several films and I did not notice any obscene behavior, however, I heard about his reputation as a sexual hooligan. In addition, I know that Harvey was very fond of joking people, and quite cruelly. He could have dialed a person's number at night and started yelling at him. With me there were no nocturnal "games", and there were no hints of sex on his part. Perhaps he behaved like that with other actresses, and, to be honest, I do not think it's right. I would very much like the film industry to change a bit and the actresses respected. "

About harassment in cinema and life
At the end of her interview, Knightley decided to talk about what she thinks about harassment, not only in the cinema, but also in life. Here are some words about this said Kira:
"I heard, and repeatedly, from different women, that they are pestered by certain men. For some reason in Hollywood, this is considered the norm, and no one was going to fight it until today. Probably, I was more fortunate than the others, because I did not feel in the work of harassment. However, I should not be happy ahead of time ... I had a very negative experience, when attempts to get closer took place in bars and clubs. I can say frankly, it's disgusting. "
