Back to Kelly McGonigal (on joy), with Kelly McGonigal.
What Does Dax Shepard Love About Amanda Seyfried?
Dax Shepard is obsessed with Amanda Seyfried in the documentary and loves her for calling it like she sees it, with no bullshit. She is not afraid to attack the man and ask what he is talking about. She got under the man's skin so quickly that he totally lost control. The man knew losing control was not what he should do in the documentary, and he could not resist.
The dust-up is part of the appeal. A power trip blips up when she says she wants to play the woman again, the same way personal power needs and wants blip up for everyone. She offers that she can play the woman, and the reply is that playing the woman is not the point, because the aim is the woman herself. She allows that want to be shown.
The very last line in the movie is remembered as the admission that it is complicated, and it is.
