I love the book.
The book is brilliant, obviously.
You know, it's one of like, what, five books published that were written by women in the 19th century?
I know I'm exaggerating, but like, you know, not easy to do.
And so how did she have to censor herself in order to get that book published?
That's my kind of, that's one major question in the movie.
Yeah, I have kind of a lot to say about this, actually.
I've been thinking about this.
Yes, there's sexual violence.
There's violence, violence, violence.
Because it's a big studio movie, we tested and tested it.
We had big screenings in malls and stuff where people came to see it, which I had never been a part of as an actress or a director before.
Oh, interesting.
No, I'm going to.
But one of the things that was brought up was the violence.
Is it too violent?
By the people going to see it?
Yeah.
