The Barbie movie isn't about girl power. It's not about how women can do everything they set their mind to. It's about how sometimes women are tired and average and that has to be okay too, because you don't have to do everything to be worth anything. (And that this is also true of men.)

"One workday, while we were waiting to shoot, Roman [Polanski] was discoursing about the impossibility of long-term monogamy given the brevity of a man's sexual attraction to any woman. An impassioned John Cassavetes responded that Roman knew nothing about women, or relationships, and that he, John, was more attracted than ever to his wife, Gena Rowlands. Roman stared at him and blinked a few times, and for once had no reply."

(via Gena Rowlands, Actress Who Bought Raw Drama to Her Roles, Dies at 94 - The New York Times)

Ms. Rowlands in the 1980 film “Gloria,” directed by Mr. Cassavetes, in which she starred as a gangster’s moll on the run with an orphaned boy.

Gena Rowlands, the intense, elegant dramatic actress who, often in collaboration with her husband, John Cassavetes, starred in a series of introspective independent films, has died. She was 94.

So unique, so raw I always feel I shouldn’t watch what she brought to the screen.
