"I did things like Shampoo and Heaven Can Wait. I don't know what those films were about. The women I played in them were not very empowered"
- Julie Christie
About this Quote
This quote by Julie Christie speaks to the lack of empowered female functions in the movie market. She points out two films she remained in, Shampoo and Heaven Can Wait, but confesses she doesn't even understand what they had to do with. This recommends that the characters she played in these movies were not particularly remarkable or meaningful, and that they did not have any kind of power or company. This is a sign of the bigger problem of female representation in the movie industry, where women are frequently relegated to supporting functions or are depicted as objects of male desire. Christie's quote works as a reminder of the need for more significant and empowered female functions in movie, and the value of giving ladies the opportunity to tell their own stories.
"As we read the school reports on our children, we realize a sense of relief that can rise to delight that thank Heaven nobody is reporting in this fashion on us"
"Without stirring abroad, One can know the whole world; Without looking out of the window One can see the way of heaven. The further one goes The less one knows"
