Quote by Jennifer Beals
It became very clear to the director that it would be foolish not to use our friendship. I had tried to talk to him about it because all the relationships in the film are so, not negative, but antagonistic. There's not a lot of love going around.
Summary
This quote suggests that the director realized the value of utilizing the friendship between the speaker and themselves in the film. The speaker had previously tried to discuss this with the director, likely because the other relationships depicted in the film were devoid of love and filled with antagonism. Recognizing the unique dynamic and positive connection between the speaker and the director, it seemed unwise to ignore their friendship when it could bring a much-needed contrasting element of warmth and camaraderie to the movie.
