Funny that when Rose asks them for a learning experience they mention both Streep and Chris Cooper. One of my all-time favourite movie-scenes is the one of Cooper and Streep in Adaptation, in which they speak on the phone with one another, singing tones. Later I read that the scene was for a big part improvised (I don't know if that is true). What a hilarious scene that was. I love those moments. It showed completely how good they were.
One of the observations I completely agree with is with Zwick and Gyllenhaal saying that many (male) actors want to be intense and brooding. That's exactly the reason why I often like actresses more than actors. Intensity may be sexy and charismatic but it doesn't give me anything on a personal level of which I can identify with.

Romance is largely dead nowadays, along with comedy. So it is kinda nice to see any film in which either of them figure. Better if it can compete with the likes of one I saw last week - Libeled Lady - with Powell, Loy, Tracy and Harlow. Ms Hathaway has the brightness of the best. The "complexity" of love I'd say lies in the fact that women want to negotiate a contract based on sex, while men are interested in compatibility, like Cary Grant and his dinosaur clavicle. The demise of the genre would have to be due to the absence of the issue. That I'd have to say is likely because marriage has diminished in stature, and the sexes seem to have gone separate ways.

Anne Hathaway is the human incarnate of Viagra. If all women were Anne Hathaway, men would need a pill to keep it down.
She is too beautiful to describe.
