trashybooksforladies:Lady Bird (2017) Director’s CommentaryThis is for me the turning point of the movie in some ways, and there’s a moment where you see on Saoirse’s face that she sees Lucas, playing Danny, as a person for the first time. She doesn’t see what she can get out of him, or what he is to her, but that he’s in the middle of his own–his own opera, and his own things that he’s going through. And all of a sudden, you just see it flash across her face, like, “Oh, this is not about me”. (…) And that’s such an important part of growing up, is seeing other people as separate from you. And this scene between Marion and Stephen [Henderson] …. They [Lady Bird and Marion] are both able to be so tender to other people, but they have so much trouble being tender to each other. And, you know, it won’t always be that way, but that’s the way it is right now. -- source link
