We say #BirdsofPrey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn a couple of days ago and loved it. Methinks it makes a good companion to The Seven Necessary Sins For Women and Girls, covering most of the sins BUT where was Lust??!
I meant of course *saw* but I had to put phone away because The Photograph was about to begin. Catching up on films!
Cathy Yan, the #BirdsOfPrey director, is the first woman of Asian descent to steer a major Hollywood superhero movie google.com/amp/s/www.wash… h/t @theasianfmnst
“Yan read the “Birds of Prey” script shortly after her Sundance breakthrough, and part of the appeal was the strong narratives of the female protagonists, including Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez) and Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell).”
It was so good to see Rosie Perez on screen again! #BirdsOfPrey

“I fought really hard to get Rosie the job, because Renee Montoya was not written to be an older woman,” Yan says. “That’s who I just really imagined in the role.”
