"Je ne prendrai pas de rôles où le personnage féminin n'a pas de substance"
— Margot Robbie
Simplified Meaning:
The speaker is saying they refuse to play roles in which the female character is not well-developed or meaningful. They want to be in stories where the woman has a real personality, goals, and depth, not just a pretty face or background figure. For example, think of a movie where the main actress has complex feelings, like dealing with problems at work and home, showing strength and vulnerability. It’s like choosing to read a book with a main character who grows and changes, rather than one who’s just there without any development. By being selective, the speaker aims to highlight important and relatable female figures. This can encourage writers and directors to create stronger, more interesting roles for women, making films and stories richer and more engaging.
