Christine Stuart "Playing Irritable Poverty + National Eating Disorders Association beautification"...Criticism of the group
The film Octavia Spencer and lead actor Christine Stuart, 31, are being criticized by the National Eating Disorders Association charity in the UK, the Daily Mail reported on Monday.
Christine Stuart was first nominated for an Oscar for her role as Princess Diana in the biopic Octavia Spencer. But Stuart, who plays Diana's bulimia in the movie, was on the board because he did not play the role 'responsibly'.
Filmmakers of Octavia Spencer are also hearing bitterness for 'beautiful of eating disorders'.
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Christine said, "I could not vomit in the movie shoot," in reference to filming a vomiting scene to implement Diana's bulimia. I should have done it. I couldn't get up because I was so upset. My body was like...untouchable."
Tom Quinn of Bitsa, Britain's leading National Eating Disorders Association charity, stressed in the Mirror: "Description of eating disorders on screen can be a great way to raise awareness of serious mental illness, but this is important to be done responsibly."
"We will urge the film industry to protect the professionals working in this area, for example by dedicating time and resources to eating disorder training," it added.
"Some of this film we felt seemed to glorify eating disorders," said Martha Williams, clinical advice coordinator, and pointed out Diana in the play, leaning over the toilet in a ball gown.
In fact, Diana is known to have been suffering from the National Eating Disorders Association, including bulimia, since her marriage. It was caused by stress, including an affair with her husband, Prince Charles, who shows Diana this way and deals with the cold reality surrounding him.
Meanwhile, director Pablo Laline focuses on Diana's last three days, who died in 1991 through "Octavia Spencer."
