Character Evaluation
Jodie Foster is not a beauty in the traditional sense of Hollywood. She has neither the blond charm nor the hot body of a sweet baby. Her tough facial lines and weak lips are often tightly closed. Whenever danger approaches, she will turn up. The stubborn chin and the indifferent eyes are as if telling the enemy, don't come near me, I'm not easy to provoke. This Scorpio woman is just like the role she is willing to play in the film, with extraordinary perseverance and freedom, like a sassy heroic woman walking alone in the vast desert night with a knife, with the aura of inverting all beings.
It doesn't make sense to talk about whether Jodie Foster is a beautiful actress or not. In Hollywood, where the beauty is like a cloud, she can have today's status without relying on these things. This woman, who looks like a lamb, is using her mind and independent spirit as a tool to leave her voice and brand on the Hollywood movie map
