A scene of "Brothers", featuring a meltdown by Tobey Maguire opposite Natalie Portman.
Natalie Portman, Jim Sheridan and Tobey Maguire attend the Cinema Society and DKNY Men screening of "Brothers" after party at Abe & Arthur's on November 22, 2009 in New York City."It was such a fantastic opportunity because so many parts written for females my age are just, like, the cute, girlish love interest. To get to play a real woman who's really strong and a good mother was really a great opportunity. It was not that challenging to be mother-ish because I have the most maternal mom in the world. So I've had a role model for my entire life."
"I feel like I'm coming into my womanhood, and I'm less afraid or maybe I'm just getting old. I think about having kids, but I think you can't plan for that sort of thing. It's not like you can work at it."_011.jpg)
But she wouldn't send her kids to war."I could not do it myself. But, I also think that in the world we live in, in certain countries, you can't not have an army. Obviously, I'm referring specifically to Israel. I think if Israel didn't have an army, it wouldn't exist. That's a hypothesis I really wouldn't want to test, like the Israelis going, 'OK, let's just try it out and not have an army and see what happens."
