从未看过Jane Fonda的任何作品，认识她还是纪录片《Jane Fonda in 5 acts》。一个20、21岁还住在父亲海边别墅的女孩，因为继母和她说“come fall, you have to move out of the house.”完全不知道自己可以做什么，跑去找住在家附近的知名表演指导Lee Strasberg，被他用看上去“boring and conventional”来形容，上了两个月Lee的表演课，坐在教室后排，只因为怕被叫上台表演的人，居然日后会赢得两个奥斯卡小金人。一个从小试图讨好父亲的女性，在日后的三段婚姻里也努力取悦丈夫（“I was too worried about pleasing, I have to be a certain way in order for them to love me .)第三段和传媒大亨Ted Turner的婚姻，她用we had a wonderful 10 year来描述，但也说了I had to hide part of me in order to please him.自我意识的觉醒让她最终说出了：“I wanted to be living as a whole Jane, fully realized Jane.”一个在困境中习惯于turn to men for advice的人，居然在64岁选择和Ted结束婚姻，说出了“ I don’t need a man to make me ok.”继续投身于社会活动、重新开始自己的事业，反而更活出了自我，也某种程度上完成了精神上和从小关系疏离的父亲，她从小厌恶（“ I had an aversion to her”）后来自杀的母亲的和解。我觉得这是一部关于自我觉醒，关于成长的纪录片，哪怕到80岁。岁月带来的不仅是变老，还有更清晰地自我认知，正如纪录片最后Jane说：“I spent so much of my life feeling if I am not perfect no one can love me, and then I realized trying to be perfect is a toxic journey, we’re not perfect, we have to love our shadow, we have to embrace and accept our shadow and sometimes good enough is good enough.”
