The scene changes but the aspirations of men of good will persist.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
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.
What are movies for if not to have the good guys triumph over the bad ones?
I've been campaigning like anything for restoring these changes. For 27 years. I wrote a book about it, well, a portion of the book was devoted to these scenes and why they should have been in the movie.
In a very complex way, things have improved in the dramatic field. Before you had the good and the bad and you couldn't mingle them. Now it's more ambiguous.
Very often a change of self is needed more than a change of scene.
And almost always there has to be change, change in the characters is the journey - it's the story.
I think the people who cast films tend to think of me in regard to strong women with integrity and a lot of it has been very good.
The life of a good man is a continual warfare with his passions.
The men were all scumbags, but the whole point of the film is to show the development of that. Each guy is going in there to have a good time. By and large, these men are career men, family men, and you just see the deterioration of them.
But the wicked passions of men's hearts alone seem strong enough to leave pictures that persist; the good are ever too luke-warm.
