I am not sure how the film industry & those who are part of that community in Italy acknowledge or value their fellow countrywomen and colleagues. She has worked and contributed to more than 45 film projects (not including tv, videos, music, video games, directorial). This is a lot. A Lifetime of Hardwork and Commitment. What’s to disrespect or bash when a fellow Italian has given so much to Italy and represented her country both locally and internationally. In other countries, their government, people and film association would appreciate and present their deserving citizens who have achieved and contributed as much she has with special awards and recognition. Maybe one day Italy will come to their senses and have a heart to make peace, to do what’s right, to be fair & be honorable.
She didn’t choose but was blessed to be born into the Argento’s family. I think I am not wrong to say that they are one of the most influential and famous Italian family in the world who single handedly put Italy on the world map through films, arts and entertainment. Having famous parents and their family name, Yes, she did struggle in the beginning but we can’t deny that she has given her all, turnt things around and made a name for herself and by herself. She is now not only a daughter but also a loving mom to two beautiful children. She is still grounded and she’s not sucked into the expected famous people society. She has never presented herself as a perfect human being and her flaws, she never denied or hid. And no, she’s not one of those who would push you down to the floor when approached by fans in public. She has no worries being seen in public without make up, salon ready hair or designer’s outfits, shoes & accessories. She’s living life according to her own terms.
Today, as a passionate activist, she’s constantly fighting to improve situations on what’s unfair and unhealthy in her country and in places around the world. She’s never shy to use her voice and her position to raise issues, to educate, to share her views and to create awareness. That says a lot about a person who is special. Surely there are risks involved but the most painful will be the Hate, those words and articles written in tabloids, magazines and on social media, mostly from her Homeland. Headlines with accompanying photos of her in previous movie roles, characters, are published over and over again like a daily ritual for the sake of shaming and tarnishing her. (I think I may have once joked, saying that if she were to have invited all those detractors and naysayers for pasta, coffee and give them all an autograph, maybe they’ll be nicer 😓😊). The press, the journalists and writers are all intelligent people. They know exactly what they are publishing and how the outcome of their articles may be.
To the members of the public, I do hope that we can be clear and be sensible enough to realize and to know that whatever and whoever you see in a film role, being in character, is not the real person in real life. Who you hate on screen should never be who you hate in person. Just saying, Do we actually judge a person who played a villain, who did darker roles, who was naked in movies – for the sake of story telling and for art, as a Bad Person? And do we actually think that an actress playing an innocent girl next door character is actually all Sweet, Prime and Proper?
Come on Italy, she has done so much good for you. Leave her past behind. The person you may have disliked or who might have unintentionally offended anyone along her journey is no more the person she was 10, 15 or 20 years ago. She has grown, she has learnt and she’s wiser with age. Supporting, helping and giving her a chance as well as giving yourselves that chance to get to know her again and to treat her with respect in a humane manner is the right thing to do. I believe that Italy have more class than constantly being a fiery hater. #Peace
I am blessed & I am thankful to know this friend of mine. As I have promised her that our friendship is only for the both of us to know, as brothers and sisters and as travelling companions in life in spite of being in different parts of the world. Many may not know this but do believe me when I say that Asia is the most loving, caring, kind, peaceful, gentle, supportive, intelligent, funny, loyal and a Non Racist human being who have guided, protected and taught me so much to be a better and a more courageous person than I was before. And NO, she’s never one who’ll impose herself as a Mighty Celebrity, The One or an over the top Starlet.
Think about it Italy. Even a person abroad can see and appreciate her for who she is and i’m certain you too can make that choice to do the same because she belongs to you.🇮🇹
👑 Here’s some details & infos about Asia from Imdb Asia 👑
Notes:
* I am not including subjects related to MeToo / HW / TimesUp etc because a lot have been written and published. As we all know, Asia is the first woman who shared and reported her incident. The report written by Ronan Farrow was published in October last year. She has had to endure and defend herself after being bombarded and condemned unfairly by the press and members of the public. But i am glad that she’s the kind who is strong enough to blast off any haters, trolls and tabloids. Her Fuck Off & Fuck You attitude came in handy during those challenging moments.
* What I am writing is based on how she has inspired me as a person. And to be honest, this is my first ever written blog, article & I registered to have a WordPress account solely for this purpose. I’m glad I did. And I am also thankful to The ArcaneNibbler, who is himself a brilliant writer for his support and encouragement.
* Next, I may be writing about people I know, those who are fighting against violence, hate, racism, sexism, misogyny, rape and assault. Those deserving of acknowledgement and who are good people.
