As a fervent admirer of the cinematic arts, I find myself deeply moved by the profound connection that Demi Moore and Amy Adams have forged through their recent works and shared experiences. Their poignant portrayals of women grappling with societal expectations and unexpressed rage in “The Substance” and “Nightbitch” resonate on a deeply personal level, echoing my own journey as a woman navigating the complexities of life and identity.
Demi Moore and Amy Adams were matched for a conversation in Variety’s Actors on Actors series, and they found plenty to discuss. Their recent movies, The Substance and Nightbitch, shared common themes of repressed female anger. As Adams remarked, “It’s fascinating how our films also explore surrealism and mysticism, as well as this theme of rage.
Moore concurred, stating that there’s an unspoken societal expectation which often prevents women from openly expressing their anger. He elaborated by saying, “People don’t explicitly state it, but it seems to be a common understanding among us all that ‘Anger isn’t appealing.’
Beyond starring in films with similar themes, these actresses also have the shared experience of motherhood. For instance, Amy Adams, who has a 14-year-old daughter named Aviana with her husband Darren Le Gallo, is mindful about avoiding gender-specific language when speaking to her child. In her own words, “I’ve had to really work on being like, ‘Oh my gosh, you’re such a good…’ No, don’t say it. ‘You’re a good person, and I’m really proud of you.'” Instead of saying you’re a good girl.
The actress known for “The Decent Proposal,” who is a mother to Rumer (36), Scout (33), and Tallulah (30) with ex-husband Bruce Willis, expressed agreement. In her own words, the “Arrival” actress revealed she was overwhelmed by certain aspects of her life and found inspiration in watching Moore on screen, feeling that was what it meant to be a woman.
Adams remarked, “Your strength and authority made you stand out, and you proudly claimed your individuality.” Recently at the 2024 Gotham Awards, the actress from Ghost shared insights on the topic of maturing and the film The Substance, emphasizing its relevance in her life.
She acknowledged that her relationships changed as she grew older and even more so after reaching maturity. However, she expressed a sense of joyful acceptance about aging during that period. Although there are aspects she wishes were different, she has reconciled with her identity beyond societal perceptions.
The Substance is streaming on Mubi. Nightbitch will be available on Hotstar on December 27.
