Silia, όπως έβλεπε η Kristen το Cosmopolis & το Bel Ami, έτσι θα είδε & ο Rob το On The Road. Και μάλλον δεν πρέπει να τον πείραξε & πολύ γιατί όπως έχει πεί το έχει δεί 3 φορές.
KRISTEN'S OTR ROUNDTABLE INTERVIEWStewart of course is on everyoneΆs mind right now as the last chapter of the Twilight Saga rakes in cash at the multiplex, but itΆs easy to forget that sheΆs also carved out a nice niche for herself and done some of her best work in smaller scale films like Into the Wild, The Runaways, Welcome to the Rileys and now On the Road.
In front of cameras and in front of the media since before she was even a teenager, a lot of ink has been spilled about Stewart and her personal life so itΆs not all that surprising sheΆs kind of a guarded presence. She has a reputation for being a difficult interview, but I donΆt blame her. This is what happens in a world where a young womanΆs behavior can be trumpeted as a “scandal” in tabloid headlines even when whatever it is all falls well within the boundaries of the law. WeΆre a society that seems to need to build people up and tear them back down again and it canΆt be easy being buffeted by those forces at an age when a lot of people are still trying to figure out what they want to do with themselves.
So, itΆs not all that surprising Stewart seemed a little bit nervous sitting down to a table full of microphones and people waiting to dissect her. Beyond the nervous energy though (a lot of toe tapping), StewartΆs enthusiasm for her character and the project won out. She spoke in stops and starts as the words tried to keep up with the thoughts in her brain, but this is clearly an intelligent person who has spent a lot of time getting inside her character Marylou. It was interesting too how much love and respect she has for the character. My take on KerouacΆs story and this adaptation especially is that itΆs dominated by the men Sal Paradise (Sam Riley) and the free-wheeling Dean Moriarty (Hedlund) while the female characters (StewartΆs Marylou and Camille played by Kirsten Dunst) kind of got the raw end of the deal. ItΆs pretty clear though that Stewart at least sees her character very differently and she made me think about her in new ways.
On her character Marylou:
I really had to dig pretty deep to find it in me to play a person like that. It took a long time. I couldnΆt say no. I wouldΆve done anything on the movie. I wouldΆve followed the movie in a caravan had I not had a job in it. I was like 14 or 15 when I read the book for the first time and 16 or 17 when I spoke to Walter for the first time. It was easy to connect the dots after having really gotten to know the person behind the character and what you would need to pull off a lifestyle like that. That didnΆt happen until deep in the rehearsal process. At first I was just attracted to the spirit of it. IΆm the type of person who needs to be pushed really hard to be able to let it all hang. I think that Marylou is the type of person you canΆt help but be yourself around because sheΆs so unabashedly there and present all the time, like this bottomless pit of really generous empathy. ItΆs a really rare quality that makes you capable of living a really full, a really rich life without it taking something from you. You couldnΆt take from her. She was always getting something back. SheΆs amazing.
On LuAnne Henderson, the real woman behind KerouacΆs character Marylou:
I think that LuAnne wouldΆve been ahead of her time now. I think generally peopleΆs expectations for their lives are in a personal way not all that different. ItΆs a really fundamental thing to want to be a part of a group. We are pack animals. In a way she had very conventional ideals as well. She had this capacity to live many lives that didnΆt necessarily mess with the other. She was ultimately not above emotion. She was above jealousy, but not above feeling hurt. She felt hurt but not slighted.
Maybe if this movie was made back in the day as opposed to now, people would be shocked by the sex and the drugs and they would actually miss what the movie is about. Whereas now weΆve just seen a little bit more of it so itΆs not shocking to stomach. ItΆs easier to take. I mean, sure, times have changed, but people donΆt change. ThatΆs why the bookΆs never been irrelevant. There will always be people that want to push a little bit harder and there are repercussions. Knowing what happens to all the characters afterwards is really interesting. She knew Neal to the end of his life and they always shared what they had. They never left their hearts even though their lives changed monumentally.
On whether On the Road is appropriate for Twilight fans:
I think that probably depends on your parents. I read On the Road when I was 14. My parents never really wanted to shelter me from the world that we live in so I think that IΆm probably not the right person to ask (laughs).
On the importance of being on the road:
When you can literally Google anything and see it, you feel like you donΆt have to go see it in person. You can do a lot of travelling in your bedroom, but youΆre not touching anything. YouΆre not feeling it.
On doing her first nude scenes and how her parents handled it:
I think everyone was really happy that it took a few years for the movie to get made (laughs). My mom came to Cannes. She loved it. She was really proud. I havenΆt talked to my dad about it yet (laughs).
Welcome to the Rileys was probably a more difficult movie for a parent to watch. I was so sensitive after that. That character really found its way into me. I was so overtly sensitive about anything, not just overtly sexual, but anything about a young girl. It just rocked me and I think my parents could probably feel that as well. So it was just not something that we engaged or talked about.
ItΆs hard to step outside of it. I know itΆs funny to talk about it from an outsiderΆs perspective, like “Oh, it must be weird to sit down and watch your ass with your mom” or whatever, but itΆs so weird being on the inside of it. I genuinely donΆt feel like… I donΆt want to say that IΆm watching another person at all because what I love about my job is aspects of life that you relate to but you didnΆt quite know you had in you can shock the shit out of you and so the process of making the movie is finding out why you responded that way. So, I donΆt feel like youΆre every playing a different person, but youΆre taking care of another person and you have such a responsibility to that person. ItΆs easy to be mature about it. ItΆs easy to place it in a context and feel protective of it.
Advice for young actors who might be starting out in a major franchise like Twilight:
YouΆd better love it or donΆt do it. To be on one project for 5 years, I have the exact same feeling that I had when I first started it. The only difference is that now finally I have that weight lifted, but I want it back. I donΆt have to worry about Bella anymore, but IΆm like “Really? ItΆs so weird. Where is it? SheΆs not like tapping me on the shoulder anymore.” So, yeah. I would say “love it.”
