People aren't so interested in seeing movies about women's problems.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's frustrating we still don't see more movies featuring strong women.
I don't know if my films are about women in a kind of frolicking - here's a grab bag of women's issues. They are about women of substance with very particular stories.
Films about women and their concerns are seen as frivolous, limited and, most damaging of all, niche.
I think women are sick and tired of being portrayed as victims, a lot of the time anyway, the bulk of their time on film.
Maybe studios don't want to see women acting in a way that isn't womanly. Maybe people don't.
What bugs me is that movies don't reflect how interesting and vibrant women are. We don't treasure women as they get older.
Women have to take more control of their careers. They can't just wait to be cast in a film.
I'm sure it's more difficult for women to make movies, especially because, in general, the kind of movies women want to make aren't necessarily going to be blockbusters. But you know, there are so few women in so many positions of power.
I don't understand why there needs to be a love interest to make women go see a film. I think society sort of makes us feel that way - that if you don't have a guy, you're worthless.
I think that weird rumor or idea in Hollywood that people don't want to see female-driven movies couldn't be further from the truth. Women buy tickets to movies.
