The thing that's always bothered me is that, even if you have a strong
female character, invariably in the third act she has to say something
like, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you," or she has to become
really vulnerable and wimpy and get her comeuppance. Even in something
like
Un final inesperado (1991), where you have these two very strong characters, they
have to die in the end. What's so special about
The Last Seduction (1994) is that none of
that happens. Had a Hollywood studio made that film instead of an
independent, it would have been very different. She definitely wouldn't
have gotten away with what she does get away with.
