Robert Pattinson finds #MeToo movement amazing

Berlin Feb 17 (IANS) Actor Robert Pattinson says it is amazing to see the impact of the #MeToo movement.

Pattinson touched on the impact of the movement while discussing his in-competition film David Zellner and Nathan Zellner s comic Western "Damsel" ahead of its premiere at the Berlinale on Friday reports variety.com.

Pattinson said: "If you feel that you ve been wronged and you feel that you don t have the right to tell people about it and you feel that you re being bullied into silence it s one of the most awful things in the world.

"So it s amazing when any kind of dam breaks and people feel they ve got the numbers to say no you ll be safe to say whatever has happened to you. It s pretty amazing."

Pattinson s "Damsel" co-star Mia Wasikowska said she had been in her native Australia for much of the past year and therefore watching the movement roll-out from afar but she recently got the opportunity to witness its impact firsthand.

"The Respect Rally in Sundance was the first thing I ve been able to go to and be a part of it and that was really amazing to feel the energy there and the connectedness of the people. I think it s great and I think it s going to be really significant change " she said.
