'I didn't feel any pressure to rewrite the movie to make them nice because that would totally change what the movie was.'
The Big Picture It’s been far too long since we’ve seen a movie like Bottoms — and in some respects, we’ve never seen anything quite like it. Sure, we’ve seen some recent high school comedies that venture into ranch territory, but Bottoms jumps feet first into that zone without even an ounce of hesitation, and once there, delivers non-stop hilarity while also deconstructing the high school comedy classic and highlighting what the formula’s been missing all these years.
Seligman actually initially dreamed of becoming a film critic, but eventually pivoted and opted to pursue the craft of filmmaking at New York University. While there were many valuable lessons learned in the program, particularly storytelling techniques like understanding the importance of goals and obstacles for characters, there was one thing that all the schooling in the world never could have prepared Seligman for — imposter syndrome.
Here’s what she said when asked how she got the green light to make such a bold, raunchy, and unapologetic high school comedy satire: “On Shiva Baby there was a moment where we had a financing offer from a slightly bigger production company, but they wanted full control and final cut and all this stuff that just didn't feel right for the kind of movie and the size of the movie that we were making.
“It really helped me understand the audience needed a little bit more help understanding the tone and the rules of this ridiculous world. As a director, it's your job to sort of hold the audience's hand and be like, ‘This is the movie you're gonna watch. This is the world that this is gonna be,’ and so it was really helpful to track how the audience was feeling.
