The Piano

I thought that The Piano was an interesting film. I'm not sure if it's because it was written and directed by a woman, but it seemed very character driven. That is to say that the plot of the movie was moved along by the characters rather than events or the situations surrounding them.

I felt like the audience was afforded a lot more insight into the inner workings of the characters as well. As though the characters inner needs and wants were on display, and especially the men. This made them seem much more vulnerable than the stoic male archetype typically portrayed.
