The movie based on actual fact "Rub & Tug", the story of Jean Marie Gill, a transsexual who assumed the identity of Dante "Tex" Gil.
Gill worked in a network of prostitution massage salons in the 80s in the United States, which resulted in problems with the authorities and the mafia.
The choice of Scarlett to interpret this film has caused great controversy, several influential people in the middle have criticized his decision, but also several people are supporting it.
Activist April Reign Reign, known for her fight against the prevalence of white actors in Oscar nominations, has criticized her choice for the role.
Singer Anthony Amorim has also charged against the choice of the actress when commenting on Twitter: "Why are we still signing Scarlett Johansson in papers for which she does not meet the requirements?".
The fire of the controversy has been fueled by Scarlett's response to her "detractors" who she has ironically said through her manager to the Bustle website: "Tell them that they can direct their comments to the representatives of Jeffrey Tambor, Jared Leto and Felicity Huffman. " And is that these acclaimed actors played in their day trans characters in the Amazon series 'Transparent', and the films 'Dallas Buyers Club' and 'Transamerica'.
