He write superbly for women and if anyone hasn't seen it, try watching the award winning movie: Marion Bridge which has Molly Parker and a young Ellen Page in one of her first film roles.dcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-73427732909758450242010-09-23T00:39:11.727-07:002010-09-23T00:39:11.727-07:00can't wait to see the movie.

Without spoiling much, there's even a moment where her character ponders mortality, and knowing her circumstances, I was left feeling like "I am NOT STRONG ENOUGH for this!!"<br /><br />2) There was a Q&A after the film and Don McKellar told a story about how Tracy, fighting to the last, told her oncologist to reschedule chemo because "I'm making a movie, dammit." Don teared up telling the story, and again, I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH.<br /><br />3) MacIvor was also there. He actually wrote the characters as two men, and said they became two women with very minimal dialogue changes. (And that they cast the two women because they were simply the two best people.)Crystalnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-45111200286273165612010-09-22T18:49:34.799-07:002010-09-22T18:49:34.799-07:00Thank you, thank you, thank you for mentioning the...Thank you, thank you, thank you for mentioning the Bechdel Rule!

I was thrilled to see a female-fronted piece by MacIvor and, heck, even if it's fleeting lesbian undertones, I will still gladly watch!
