But Even With A Character Like Cary

There Were Certain Things That I Watched, And I Screened A Series Of Period Films As Well, Not Because I Wanted To Copy Those, Because I Wanted To Be Different. “far From The Madding Crowd” Was One I Looked To Because I Thought It Looked So Good. “doctor Zhivago.” Unrequited Love Is Always A Great Thing. “tess” Was Something I Looked At, I Thought Polanski Got The Period Right.

I Will Say That The Idea Of A Woman Being Deceptive Came From That Original Discussion With Critics And Reporters About If Woman Could Do That Kind Of Thing. Evelyn, Herself, Grew Out Of The Discussions About How Capable Women Are Of Deceit And Lying And Manipulation.

We Live In A Disposable Society. It's Easier To Throw Things Out Than To Fix Them. We Even Give It A Name - We Call It Recycling.
