I adored this movie. I'm always on the fence about the concept of a muse.
On one hand, it can seem really misogynistic and objectifying.
On the other, how nice it would be to inspire profound creative expression!

Yes I agree.. but in the broader definition it is reffered to as...a guiding spirit and a source of inspiration...I wonder if one can have several muses...and not exclusively female...or...real..an imaginary muse is just as valid..... I think...still musing on muses..; )

... and need it be limited to women? i've met a few just simply lovely male muses in my lifetime ... unforgettable.

Holly I couldn't agree more with you,and this was probably the intention of this post initially...
I'm glad you share my opinion that it shouldn't be a definition limited to refer to someone of female gender.
If I have ever had, or have, a muse or muses they have always been male..even if I'm a womenswear clothing designer...it is about intellectual inspiration not about'sexual' preference...
