which was why she was allowed to release the best-selling concert movie of all time during the middle of the strikes.
When you put it like that, it doesn't really sound like she was doing it out of the goodness of her heart.
I mean, just because she benefited doesn't mean hundreds of others also didn't.
Sure, I'm not saying it's wrong what she did, just that it's not a good way to judge her character.
Because she knew beforehand how it would do?
Yeah, I imagine she had someone crunch the numbers and figure out that it's worth it to agree to the union's demands to get a premiere in the middle of the strike AND the good PR. Sounds like a pretty safe bet.
Now mind you, I don't really know anything about the situation beyond what I read in your comment. I don't know what movie that was and I'm only somewhat aware there was a big strike in the entertainment industry in the USA. Just little pieces I caught here on Lemmy and maybe back on reddit too. I'm not claiming to have any particular insight into her motivations or anything, just that what you presented as her good side sounds very much like business acumen to me rather than philantropy.

Maybe I'm just a cynic.
