The film Julia and its impression on Stevie

[vermicious knid]

Have you seen this movie? I just saw it tonight. There is probably much to pick apart as far as why it appeals to Stevie. In case you didn't know, it is how she came to write the song "Julia", and I believe she would use the pseudonym "Lily Chanel" sometimes.



In Stevie's own words:
"I'm Lily. ...I've been Lily for a long time, actually because in my writing ~ in my book and everything ~ I, when I write about me and my friend Robin who everybody knows that I lost to leukemia I wrote about her and I as Lily and Julia ~ Julia and Lillian Hellman ~ so that movie [Julia] ~ you know with Jane Fonda and Vanessa Redgrave ~ so Robin looked incredibly like Vanessa Redgrave and I ~ I was very Jane Fonda you know. And our relationship was very much like this like you know ~ come on across the river but don't forget to tell me that you're really afraid so in case you fall in I'll be expecting it. Don't lie to me and say 'Alright ~ I'll do it because you think I'm brave.' "
