Lena Dunham | BAFTA Screenwriters' Lecture series

[@AstraeaAntiope]

Just finished a re-watch of Girls and was really struck by Hannah's journey as an artist this go-round. It also hit me how truly exceptional the series was as a piece of television, which is why it got so much flack. Those girls were awful and real and I could map any character to someone I knew (or myself) in my twenties at any given moment. It made its mark, opening real doors for the representation of women on-screen. It's funny that Lena Dunham always talks about being so fearful, because putting everything out there just because no one else was willing to show it (or even see it) was a revolutionary act.

I agree, I watched Girls because of Adam Driver and wasn't disappointed at all. It was great, loved the show!

[@theodorapriska9860]

I agree completely! Well said! It breaks my heart that most won’t appreciate Lena until long after we are all gone. She misses occasionally (her 2022 movie was a complete miss) like any artist…but more often boldly moves forward in a very powerful and illuminating way.

I love Girls. I could watch it on an eternal loop and see something new each time. I hope we get another show from Lena.

I wish my friends could see how amazing she is

I wish I could convince my husband

Take solace in the fact that you’re somebody who thinks critically and logically based on your own moral and artistic compass, whereas most people puppet other people’s opinions that fall nicely on their ears

Thanks for uploading this BAFTA 🙏

[@annajackson3882]

She is so great! Love her writing

[@plaksa9856]

wow! thanks for Lena Dunham! It is a great pleasure to listen to a woman director about what worries many women who create and write something.

[@MrValentineReacts]

i am watching Girls for the first time. just completed season 5 finale and I am dumbfounded by the exceptional writing and energy this show has

[@EllieMoon-qq9hu]

one of the best living artists tbh

[@CarolsFerrao]

She's so amazing

[@itsnotwhatyouknowbutwhatyo2247]

I want and need Lena to continue to write. Her writing to me surpasses Woody Allen and akin to Mike White. I loved Girls, loved Camping, love her podcasts and everything subsequent.

[@Usernameprivate2023]

SOOOO INSPIRATIONAL. Thank you Lena. ❤

[@awesome6387]

I want to take Lena's Master Class! (when there is one - sign me up)

[@Honeysuckle33]

Oh wow I haven't seen her seen girls. She looks different.

[@findparadise]

God that was good.

[@nobumassiah]

reading a book at a certain point literally means having an elongated pseudo masturbatory practice with a woman through physiological profundification in the moment at which it is most inconvenient. and there she would finally know... feeling like you're dying can be the only way she should could ever have known what her most low moment felt like. non-nadiric subjects always perform their ends in the middle in order not to emote in portions irrationally.

Its the stay puft marshmallow!!!!!!

[@chelseacorbin1525]

Ooft. Yikes

[@JD-ke9kv]

Shes toxic

[@leeeberle4322]

Dunham has absolutely nothing to offer. She is basically a one trick pony.

[@shhh3185]

Still, quite a trick. she’s a writer with a well defined voice. maybe seems small but what have you done?
