Celine Song Addresses 'Materialists' Criticism: 'Poverty Is Not The Fault Of The Poor'
In a recent interview, Celine Song, the acclaimed director of "Materialists," addressed the contentious debate surrounding her latest film, specifically its portrayal of male characters and accusations of promoting "broke man propaganda." Song firmly rejected this interpretation, asserting that such a viewpoint is fundamentally "anti-feminist." "It doesn't make me laugh because it's disappointing to me that I think that there is a very real confusion about feminism and the history of feminism," Song stated. She elaborated that feminism has historically been intertwined with anti-corporate and anti-capitalist movements, emphasizing its role in fighting classism. Song expressed deep concern about the prevailing narrative that attributes poverty to individual fault. "Poverty is not the fault of the poor," Song stressed, highlighting what she perceives as a "brutal" and "cruel" tendency to label characters like John, a central figure in "Materialists," in classist terms. She concluded by stating that her entire movie is designed to challenge the way "capitalism is trying to colonize our hearts" and foster the belief that being poor signifies being a "bad person."
