For those that saw the movie, did Wahlberg have more screen time than Williams? I mean it's kind of obvious why he was paid more because he's one of those blockbuster actors while no one really knows Williams in general brilliant or not. More recognizable faces get paid more or ones that brings in the dough.

Then you get these virtue signaling crybabies whining how one person gets paid more than another cause she's a woman (within the context of the role, screen time, known factor/more famous than).

She definitely got more screen time in the film. But.... when it comes to re-shoots, I'm not sure. Wahlberg had a few scenes with Palmer, and so did she (in the beginning of the film) but most of the other scenes with Palmer were shared by both Williams and Wahlberg.

Otherwise, this was a pretty decent film - I'm glad it got made, regardless of the controversy.

Did he ever donate anything to the guy he blinded when he was younger though.

He's a bigger brand name than Williams, so regardless of screen time (which seemed similar although her role was more important) he would be paid more... Imagine if his role was played by Jennifer Lawrance, she's be paid more than Williams too, for the same reason...

But this is all symbolic of Hollywood trying to show that it is addressing it's issues of the role and portrayal of women in the movie industry. It's a PR thing for them...

For women's groups and related parties this is important politically as this is about high status and high paying jobs in one of the most culturally influential industries...

But we live in a post modern world, where people treat the perceptions in pop culture and in media more seriously than the reality of actual societal and political issues... i.e. what happens in the resl world, in real jobs. So this is all a bit absurd.

Great analysis
