I'm so glad to see Paul Dano getting the support he deserves after Quentin Tarantino threw some harsh words his way
. It's like, Tarantino can't even be kind and respectful without having to come for someone's acting abilities?
Like, what's wrong with him? I think it's super cool that Reese Witherspoon, Ben Stiller, Matt Reeves, Alec Baldwin, George Clooney, and Jonathan Dayton all spoke up for Dano on social media
. It's clear that Tarantino's comments were way out of line and an embarrassment
.
I also love how Dano handled the situation with such humility and gratitude
. He didn't fire back with any shade or disrespect, which is more than I can say for some people
. And it's so true that there's this unfair double standard when it comes to actors being slammed by directors - like, Tom Cruise and Daniel Day-Lewis are always on a pedestal, while others are just expected to be perfect
.
It's great to see the acting community standing together for someone who's been unfairly targeted
. And I'm all about that Dano life right now
!
The whole thing seems a bit overboard to me... I mean, Tarantino's just stating his opinion, but it's really harsh. Dano handled it well by saying he was touched by the outpouring of support and not letting it get to him. 
I don't think Dano's acting abilities have ever been questioned by anyone except Tarantino, and even then, he was being pretty brutal... 
It's good to see the community rallying around him though!
