The only time that there are more women onthe set as extras is a swimming pool scene and they're all in bikinis - anyswimming pool scene and suddenly it's full of women.

Something she thinks was an "astutedecision" because it opened up debate.
她認爲此事是“精明的決定”, 因爲它引發了爭論.
The film is about the discussions peoplehave when they leave the cinema and having a woman in that role allows you tomake that discussion, she said.
“電影關乎人們離開影院時的討論, 讓女人扮演那樣的角色讓你得以營造那種討論氛圍.”
As opposed to saying 'well that's men,that's what men do in war' ... I think Gavin very astutely understood andrealised putting a woman [in the role] just changed the discussion.
“人們說的, 不再是‘唔,那是男人,那是男人戰爭中乾的事’……我認爲, 加文非常精明地懂得和意識到, 把女人放在男人的角色改變了討論內容.”
