i hope the sag-aftra strike is resolved soon because i want to watch a zillion interviews about how may december is about natalie portman's character studying julianne moore's character (fake mary kay letourneau)--so that she can better portray her for a biopic. but what portman's character is doing--building up a role (fake mary kay letourneau)--is also a process julianne moore went through (building up fake mary kay letourneau) for may december.

i wish there was a better way to word this but i think this is an interesting twist on the actresses playing actresses conceit in that portman's character has to do what julianne moore does (minus firsthand research) because they (portman's character and julianne moore) are both bringing the same character to life. because the film shifts critical focus from fake mary kay letourneau to natalie portman's character, it almost reads as a critique of a dedicated performer like julianne moore herself
