Blake Lively had a message for fans after the premiere of It Ends With Us . “Thank you to everyone who came out to show that people WANT to see films about women, and the multitudes we hold,” Lively, 36, wrote via her Instagram Story on Tuesday, August 13. “ It Ends With Us is a story of the female experience.
All the highest highs, and lowest lows. And we are so proud of it.” Lively wrote that the cast has been “in celebration of this film and of getting a message so important out there to the masses.
” She added: “Thank you for embracing @itendswithus movie with the same love, pain and joy we had sharing it with you all.” Alongside the note, Lively shared a clip of her interview with BBC News, where she noted that the It Ends With Us covers domestic violence but “what’s important about this film is that [her character is] not just a survivor and she’s not just a victim.” “While those are huge things to be, they are not her identity,” she said.
“She’s not defined by something that someone else did to her or an event that happened to her, even if it’s multiple events. She defines herself and I think that that’s deeply empowering to remind people that no one else can define you. No experience can define you.
You define you.” She concluded: “We really feel like we delivered a story that’s emotional and it’s fun, and it’s funny, and it’s painful, and it’s scary, and it’s tragic and it’s inspiring and that’s what life is.” .
