‘Handmaid’s Tale’ Star Max Minghella Says He Has ‘a Very Cynical View’ of His Gender

He see's them every morning? He lives with them?

"I mean, I feel all men are guilty until proven innocent, in general." Creep alert.

This is such an odd interview.

He sounds like one of those over the top “male feminists” that may end up having dark secrets of his own revealed later on.

Sometimes guys who are *really intense* about being feminists and all “anti-patriarchy” end up being found out later to be creeps themselves. I don’t understand it (that kind of hypocrisy) but it has happened several times...

Or maybe he just really is an earnest, emotional guy who thinks most other men are evil? I guess it’s possible.

Still think it’s a bit odd that he was with Kate Mara for *years* and is super happy that she’s banging his best friend and that he sees them “every morning”. Even if you are still friends with your ex, that all still seems like a bit much...

(Also: his dad was the famous late director, Anthony Minghella, who directed films like “The English Patient” and “The Talented Mr. Ripley”; this new interview made me wonder (if Max is sincere) if he has always been “jaded” about the male sex because of things he witnessed his dad do, or if he’s just referring to all *other* men....)

What R2 said. Any man who believes that all men are evil/rapists etc. is a rapist who believes that all men are just like him...

His current fanbase is viewers of The Handmaid’s Tale who are the ones reading this interview. He is pandering to them with his “Men Suck” moaning.

When this show is cancelled and he is cast in The Fast and the Furious, he will do interviews about how he was always a gearhead who believes that one’s car is a manifestation of the soul.

Typical Hollywood PR claptrap.

Gender threads are division threads.

You’re being programmed to hate.

He's a child of privilege so of course he's cynical --agree,this is all a PR hand job

bump

That is strange that he sees Jamie and Kate every morning. It sounds very Honeymooners/Flintstones.

Handmaid's Tale and Dietland have been my favorite shows this year. That and the Dietland post show with Aisha Tyler.

Oh, and Pose.

His Dad was a great director. Max was good in The Social Network.

Jamie Bell is already on his 2nd marriage?

Scratch the surface of any straight guy and you'll find he's done awful shit. There's no end to the entitlement they feel. Any semblence of ethics , moral compass or empathy is purely for show and dependant on their personal desires.

( I may be feeling extra cynical today because I just discovered someone I thought was one of the best did some awful shit.)

Amen to R5 and R7

Max Minghella gives a decent performance in "Art School Confidential".

Agree with R14 -- R5 and R7 nailed it.

Really R2 and R4?

Well done, r17.

Misogyny on the left must be acknowledged first in order for anything to be done about it.

Does the left have the will, though, to confront our own hostility toward women & girls?

I think Max has too much estrogen in his system.

And that, R17, is why Bernie Sanders will never be president.

^^ Bernie won't ever be President because he'll be dead by 2020.

All men are guilty til proven innocent?

What an absurd thing to say, he is trying way too hard to "sound woke".

R22, I have friends who will never leave their kids alone with a man/men. No matter how close they’ve known the guy, or how likable he is, it’s just not with the risk. Women have gotten burned so many times...and pervs target single moms.

Instead of white guilt, he has male guilt.

God I am so sick of SJW millennials.

Males should feel guilt...they commit 90% of all homocides. They constructed patriarchy & force the rest of us to live within it.

They are why we have Trump in the White House...and zero effort to get rid of him, but much effort to protect him.

Own it. I’m sick of the hypocrisy & double-standards. Men run the world, and the world is fucked up. They need to sit down.

So stereotyping people based on race is bad but stereotyping them based on their sex is okay?

What a soy eating cuck!

R25 makes some valid points.

So the tiresome narrative of men all being evil, and women all being victims rolls on Yawwwn!

Then end toxic masculinity, r29, & respect women.

The truth is that it would just as healing to men to value women & listen to women as it would be for women. The entire world would be better off...all of us. If feminine power & energy were as valued as male.

I don’t hate men. They have fantastic qualities. But the power is not balanced. We will all suffer if the status quo continue.

Bump

Does anyone remember the last thing they did "as a gender"? I just don't get this. When I make choices everyday as an adult, I'm the only one making those choices, I don't have a guardian or conservator and I'm responsible for the choices I make, not the guy at the gas station, some movie star or my Senator.

I don't get moral collectivism. Yes, societies have norms and values but that's a reflection of the accumulated behaviors and choices of the individuals who make up a whole. You can even claim something is a "national value" but, like it or not, it really isn't if 80% of a nation doesn't agree with you.

I'm grateful for the white men who use the term "SJW" so that I know I never ever need to hear another of their opinions again.

So... he's gay?

Ugh creep, and he's dating dakota fanning's lil sis, gross! Hope he dies in tht!

[quote]not the guy at the gas station

From now on pump your own bub.

R36 For not blaming him for any poor actions I should choose to make? I continue to expect full service.

[quote]I continue to expect full service. Twice on Mondays

And I expect you to pay twice as much. Full service hurts my back sometimes.

r13 you are absurd. Scratch the surface of almost anybody any you will find they have done awful things. Out of curiosity what did your former friend do ? Vote republican perhaps ? As far as people and their ethics, morality and moral compass. It can change for most , depending who is in the room.

Hes a barely male version of Lens Dunham.

Congratulations, Max.

Check your crotch. I think your balls are missing.

Yes, r35 that's the rumour. He's dating 20 year old Elle Fanning who starred in the movie he was directing. (she was probably younger than that when they met). So basically he bangs on about feminism and how men subjugate women then dates a junior 13 years younger. Don't pretend, Max and come out with all the #metoo stuff though maybe it's got you a shag with Elle.

This thread is full of Beef Curtain Alley Fauloons.

What a virtue signalling asshole. Be sure the people who preach this kind of thing don't really practice it. It's all to gain favour with the new social climate.

[quote]Scratch the surface of almost anybody any you will find they have done awful things.

Well, it's true that almost everybody has faults and has made mistakes, but not everyone does "awful things".

I don't think all of us end up assaulting someone or committing murder.

Annoying but he's so damn cute, I will forgive him. One I would happily fuck in a heartbeat.

What's the issue with a single man banging a single 20 year old hottie?

What's the issue with a single girl banging a 32 year old hottie?

I'm also confused why men are put on a pedestal, no questions asked. The ultimate prize, if you're lucky enough to nab one!

As a gay man I've grown to consider them a liability. They can do incredible damage to your life.

R48 Sounds like you have some issues to work through there.

[quote]I mean, I feel all men are guilty until proven innocent, in general.

He must think that all men think like straight men / men who sleep with women.

[quote] He's dating 20 year old Elle Fanning who starred in the movie he was directing. (she was probably younger than that when they met).

Yeah, that isn't the best look.

Is he still dating Elle??

😑

R52 I think so.

He was in Feb, but this is Hollywood time, so everything's accelerated!

Apparently, he went to her 21st birthday party recently. However, he keeps dodging the question when asked and her side aren't saying anything. Maybe they realise it's not a good look preaching about #metoo and lecturing at men when you're a 33 year old dating someone almost half your age that you cast in your movie (and you probably met when she was 18)

With all the actresses he meets, couldn't he have found someone a little closer to his age?

[quote]R1: He see's them every morning?

Oh, dear fucking God.

He sounds insufferable.

So judging women collectively is misogyny, but judging men collectively is ok and just?? The hypocrisy never ends!

Max Minghella: “I Was Raised Almost Entirely by Gay Men”

I automatically block anyone who uses that term or "virtue signaling," r33. I know I don't need to hear anything else they have to say once I see them.

This post needs butt shots. It’s round, with a deep crevice

I liked him in the interview in r61. He seems interesting.
