    Character Evaluation

    As a female director, Kathryn Bigelow is best at directing action movies full of masculinity. He likes the hot scenes of live ammunition and unarmed fighting, not those romantic love stories . 
    Every label on Kathryn Bigelow is so weird: the height of more than 1.8 meters and the handsome appearance are enough to make her a good model or a good actor, but she has chosen the path of director. She is a standard long-legged tall beauty, and her character shows a tough side. On the other hand, she is a person with strong self-control. She always seems very peaceful and kind to people. She prefers to use the second person to talk to people, preferring to use "you" instead of "me", but no matter how you let the audience I can still feel a strong undercurrent lurking in her heart .
