My quotes have been taken out of context.
Did you guys see The Constant Gardener? Rachel Weisz's character was like, my worst nightmare of a Barnard girl on crack (I can say that because I am a Barnard girl, albeit not on crack) and was also completely annoying.
"Barnard girl on crack" is a pretty good characterization of Rachel Weisz's character in The Constant Gardener, but I don't think it's her fault. The scriptwriters couldn't figure out what to do with that character: make her a scheming whore and you've got an obvious movie, make her a saintly mother and you've got another obvious movie. They couldn't come up with any character in between. Whereas, it's easy to devise a politically ambivalent male character; Graham Greene did it for years. The films of his movies are very good.
