I think we're very complicated and we're capable of all kinds of things, and movies don't reflect that.
Ryan GoslingYou have to question a cinematic culture that preaches artistic expression, and yet would support a decision that is clearly a product of a patriarchy-dominant society, which tries to control how women are depicted on screen. The MPAA is okay supporting scenes that portray women in scenarios of sexual torture and violence for entertainment purposes, but they are trying to force us to look away from a scene that shows a woman in a sexual scenario, which is both complicit and complex. It's misogynistic in nature to try and control a woman's sexual presentation of self.
Ryan GoslingThe theme for me is love and the lack of it. We all want that and we don't know how to get it, and everything we do is some kind of attempt to capture it for ourselves.
Ryan GoslingI love being Canadian. I think growing up in Canada gives you a world perspective that I certainly enjoy.
