FROM BOYS TO FEMME

摘要

IT'S A LOT TO ASK: BE really funny while dealing with workplace harassment. But Anchorman was a gleeful, absurdist exploration of the horrifying naivete of 1970s sexism, and as the only female main character in the movie, Christina Applegate had to make her plight real without seeming like she was in another film, one in which people said things that made sense. "This is a weird thing she's able to do," says Anchorman director and co-writer Adam McKay as he finishes editing the sequel on the Paramount lot. "It's all a little heightened, this adorableness that's a little silly. But if you did a period drama in the 1970s about broadcast journalism and put her character in, you'd buy it."
