$8?!? uh huh.
how much ya got in your pocketses fer that, dearie?
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: There’s a rallying moment in The Brave One when you stick a gun in a bad guy’s face and say, ‘’I want my dog back.’’ How are you going to feel about the audience cheering on your character as she starts hunting people down?
JODIE FOSTER: It’s shameful, but that’s human and that’s who we are as human beings. There will be unsophisticated people who see a sophisticated movie. Just like there were in The Accused. And thank God I only went to one screening of that movie with an audience.
...FOSTER: Here’s my commentary: I don’t believe that any gun should be in the hand of a thinking, feeling, breathing human being. Americans are by nature filled with rage-slash-fear. And guns are a huge part of our culture. I know I’m crazy because I’m only supposed to say that in Europe. But violence corrupts absolutely.
That’s not “rage-slash-fear,” you keep seeing when you meet “Americans,” Honey—that’s disgust.
Evidently guns are not quite so icky-nasty that Ms Foster would turn down a million or so from making a movie about how useful they may be in certain circumstances.
