CinemaHalle Berry’s reflection on Catwoman, her biggest failureActress also mentioned the main factor, in her opinion, that resulted in the fiasco of the criticized 2004 film today at 2:30 pm

There are cases of actors and actresses whose careers decline due to simple bad work. It was the case of Halle Berry: shortly after winning the Oscar for Best Actress, she starred Catwoman (2004). The film based on the character of A.D It was a huge fiasco and became a stain on the artist’s CV.

At the time, she received the infamous Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actress for her performance in the film. From then on, his career was no longer the same.

Two decades after its release, the artist participated in a conversation with EntertainmentWeekly precisely focused on Catwoman. She reflected on all the weight she carried on her shoulders due to the failure of the film.

Halle recalled that the simple fact of being black made the situation more complicated. Still, she tried to take it in stride and assured that she did her best to move forward.

I didn’t love it (the negative repercussions). As a black woman, I was already used to carrying negativity on my shoulders, fighting, being a fish swimming alone against the tide. I was already used to breaking stereotypes and following a path without any path. I didn’t want to be casual about it, but I went out there and won that Razzie, laughed at myself and moved on. That didn’t bother me because I’ve fought as a black woman my entire life. A little bad publicity about a movie? I didn’t love it, but it wouldn’t stop my world or stop me from doing what I love to do.”

The factor that made Catwoman fail, according to Halle Berry

In the same interview, Halle Berry cited the main factor, in her opinion, that resulted in the failure of Catwoman. For the actress, the costume chosen for the character already displeased the public right away and contributed to the negative repercussion of the work.

Fans were upset with the costume. It was something different, but in our minds, why keep doing Catwoman if you’re not going to take risks and bring something different to her? The beauty of it was that it was more suited to my version of her, my body, who I was and my sensibilities.”

Denise di Novi shares the same opinion. The producer remembers how the public already reacted negatively when seeing the character’s costume.

That was the first thing that started the negativity. It was an early version before we perfected it. It was so different from what the public was used to seeing in the other film (‘Batman Returns’where the character was played by Michelle Pfeiffer). This outfit, by definition, should cover everything. We thought it would be cooler to make it rock & roll and (more) uncovered.”

To illustrate the failure of Catwomanthe film only has an 8% approval rating in the Rotten Tomatoesreview aggregator site. Furthermore, it only grossed $82 million on a budget of $100 million.
