Comments This newspaper piece captures Moorhouse’s understanding of herself and a reflection of herself in the hit movie Proof. It is a piece that enables us to delve into her mind and understand what she was thinking and where some of her ideas came about in directing this movie. It provides interesting reasons as to why the main character in Proof was blind, why pictures were constantly used throughout the film and the frightening feeling of what it would be like to not be in control of one’s own body. Her intrigued attitude into relationships based on hurting versus loving one another is also captured in this piece and highlights Moorhouse’s own understanding of a healthy and strong relationship. This piece gives a great insight into a director’s mind in relation to why that movie has been made like that and the strings attached by the director to the actual occurrences in the movie itself.
