RJ Cutler has entered the chat.
After the Netflix documentary “Martha” hit the streaming platform on October 30, Martha Stewart accused the director of using camera angles and leaving out large parts of her life.
But Cutler isn’t bothered by the 83-year-old’s comments.
“It wasn’t a surprise to me that he would have made a different movie than the one I made,” the 62-year-old said on Wednesday’s episode. The Town Podcast with Matthew Belloni. “She gave me her feedback, and she was upset that I didn’t make the changes she wanted me to make. But that’s the process.
Cutler continued, “It took a lot of courage on his part to trust me. I respect him. And in return, I share the film with him and about the film with him. I communicate. If he has ideas that I think will help the film I’m making, I’ll take a good idea from anyone. Believe me
He also joked that he fantasized about “publishing the text messages that he sent me”, adding, “I will tell you that Martha has been talking to me in her text messages. is fully revealed.”
Despite her harsh impression of the doctor, the filmmaker understood her concerns. “It’s very, very difficult to be a subject in one of these movies and look at it with any kind of objectivity,” Cutler shared. “And so, it’s a process that I understand and you have to be sympathetic to the subject. But that doesn’t mean he’s in control of the film.
Cutler said Stewart “understood that there was a process, and we were engaged in that process. And Martha would have liked me to have a different response to the process, but I didn’t have a different response.”
He claimed that Stewart was not a fan of how the film changed over time.
“I have to say, the subjectivity of being Martha Stewart in this situation, the vulnerability that you’re in, has to be responded to with compassion and support. That doesn’t mean responding to it with changes to the film. And That’s what I did. Martha felt that the whole thing should be scored differently, the score is extraordinary.
Cutler’s comments came the same day Stewart said she was keen to make another film.
“Yes, the documentary is fine. It left a lot out, so I’m going to talk to them about doing version 2,” she said during an appearance on Wednesday.The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon..â€
“There’s a lot more to my life. I’ve lived a long time, and I thought maybe we left some things out, so. Good things,” Stewart added.
Fallon, 50, asked the mogul if she enjoyed the “process” of filming.
“No, I didn’t like it,” he said. “I don’t like going to psychiatrists and talking about your feelings and all that stuff. And the director was very strict about that.
Fallon replied, “Yeah, but that’s what we want to see,” to which Stewart quipped, “I know, but it came out. So much good stuff came out. It got juice.
The TV personality made her comments after she revealed how she really feels during an interview with the doctor. The New York Times.
Those last scenes to me look like a lonely old lady wandering in a garden? Boy, I told him to get rid of them. And he refused, Stewart admitted. “But again, that [Cutler] Didn’t even mention why – because I could live with him and still work seven days a week.
