But who knows.<br /><br />I completely agree that many, many female characters in films are under developed. Layers are the best, and García seriously knows how to write for women.Alex Withrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15887018476048271594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-46822563896111015262013-04-16T15:44:39.538-04:002013-04-16T15:44:39.538-04:00Thanks for featuring Nine Lives, Alex!

It was so unique how each segment was one shot and cut off at the height of drama. <br /><br />What I loved most about this film was that the feature characters had layers. Although we met each woman at a particular point in her life, we were given hints of past love, pain, difficult decisions and mistakes. Many movies feature static uncomplicated (uninteresting) female characters. I relate better to the layers. <br /><br />I was wondering if the the title "Nine Lives" reflected we each lead many "lives" within a single lifetime. Maybe it's a stretch, but that's where my head went seeing this film.REM Runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192269111947552105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4784665635104956142.post-52849227586029426412013-04-14T18:29:07.182-04:002013-04-14T18:29:07.182-04:00You know, I thought the same thing while I was wri...You know, I thought the same thing while I was writing this, that Nine Lives might be the most consistent I've covered yet.
