      She's very serious about social understanding of mental illnesses. She did a symposium tour a few years ago where she discussed her own family history with it.. My friend had tickets and invited me to go. It was very enlightening, for instance, I had no idea her parents had joined a cult during her childhood; she was lovely and so very gracious during the meet/greet photo ops afterwards. It was a great evening and I always smile when the photo comes up in my memories.

    Glenn Close playing as Cruella DeVil is the 1990s version like Margaret Hamilton playing the Wicked Witch of the West. (The Wizard of Oz - 1939)

    @humournoir7316 3 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    She said what I was thinking after watching Fatal Attraction. She is not a villain, she’s the victim of the patriarchal system! She was damaged by her father and she looked for affection only, it was never her purposely hurting the family.
    To this day because of this character this is my favorite movie.

    • @humournoir7316
      @humournoir7316 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Bunny was an attempt to be seen as a psychopath. She did something hideously vile and evil to show a message that she is able to do anything to Dan to get even/get what she wants.
      When a mobster kills something, he’s shown as a badass gangster, but when a woman is boiling a pet in fury, nobody has any doubts that she’s mental? Think about It.
      I’m not saying she is the saint, she has mental problems, but they are a cause of this treatment. She was never to good to be given love for more than a limited amount of time, cause guys like Dan had more important stuff going on - family. The most unfamiliar of things to her. Think about it.

    The way she talks about Guardians of the Galaxy and compares it with a children's game, that emotion is how you know she loves to perform, demonstrates that superhero movies require a demanding acting exercise.

    What a wonderful person to listen to! Watching this I realise I remember how I was myself the first time I saw her films. Like good songs a good film hold personal emotional memories: The Big Chill [seen on the telly] first when I was a teenager, second this year much older now than the characters, Fatal Attraction, Dangerous Liasons, 101 Dalmations, Jagged Edge [not mentioned here], Airforce One, The Wife. Wonderful, wonderful.
