Both men and women are really vast and boundless and yet in many films we're told that they're not. We're told they can only be one thing - like handsome and charming and that's it. Nothing more.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Most of the women in film are there to be beautiful to the man.
It's rare to see women in a film who are not somehow validated by a male or discussing a male or heartbroken by a male,or end up being happy because of a male. It's interesting to think about, and it's very true.
I think it's important that we have strong, female characters in movies now, which can really leave an impression on people - especially young people - and that they're not 'sexy' or 'cool.'
I think a lot of the time in films, men get roles where they create their own destiny and women are just tools, supporters for that.
The irony is that the more unapologetically sexist men are in movies, the more women tend to be attracted to them in person.
What bugs me is that movies don't reflect how interesting and vibrant women are. We don't treasure women as they get older.
Hollywood usually doesn't have strong woman in films like that, and it's stupid, so for the most part they're usually being directed and written by men.
I don't think women are that vastly different from men. I'm a bit of a woman myself. But I'm not a feminist filmmaker. I'm not making a feminist thesis to prove that women are important. I just happen to make films with strong characters that are women.
A lot of male actors are method actors and they become the characters which they both were.
We need to see men and women as equal partners, but it's hard to think of movies that do that. When I talk to people, they think of movies of forty-five years ago! Hepburn and Tracy!
