Julianne Moore: It shouldnt matter who you love

27th October 2010

(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Julianne Moore worries people are too divisive about sexuality, and hopes her new movie will help the problem.

The actress plays Jules in The Kids Are All Right, with Annette Bening portraying Jules partner Nic. The couple both use the same sperm donor to have one child each and as the kids grow up they decide to track down their biological father, Paul played by Mark Ruffalo. Jules and Paul form a close bond, and Julianne likes the way the movie deals with the question of sexuality.

I think its important not to be divisive about sexuality. Basically were all human beings and who we chose to be with as partners or romantically, at the end of the day, doesnt make a lot of difference, she said. You love who you love, and thats alright. In this case, in the film, he is hardly a threat to their relationship, I actually think had it been a woman it would have been much more threatening. He was just someone who was positively reflecting at the time, and she just needed some validation.

Julianne could have played either Jules or Nic, but chose her character as she found her so interesting. She likes the struggle Jules is going through, and thinks women across the world will relate to her.

I loved Jules, I think its very unusual to see a character whose drama isnt articulated in that way. In most films, its laid out for you, this is what the characters problem is and this is how shes going to solve it, and lifes not that way, she told the BBC. This is a woman whose life is changing dramatically because her kids are growing up and going to college. Shes been an at home mom so shes like, Who am I? She feels a little disenfranchised with her partner, she doesnt know what shes going to do with the rest of her life, shes flailing, struggling and lost. (C) Cover Media
