HINDI mapigilan ni Kristen Stewart ang kanyang kaligayahan.
Nakapanayam kamakailan ng ET ang passionate actress at ang kanyang co-star sa Equals na si Nicholas Hoult, tungkol sa kanilang bagong sci-fi film na gumaganap silang umibig sa isa’t isa sa isang futuristic society na ipinagbabawal ang pag-ibig. Sinabi ni Stewart na nakakuha siya ng inspirasyon sa kanyang pagganap bilang Nia mula sa kanyang unang pag-ibig.
“I read the script and I was just like, ‘This is going to suck and hurt to think about,’” pag-amin ni Stewart, 26, sa staff ng ET na si Karie Krause. “You just place yourself in that feeling that maybe you’ve had before -- it’s the most visceral, intense, overwhelming feeling -- so when it’s really great, it’s epically great, and when it’s really bad, it’s epically bad.”
“So we knew going into it, this was gonna be like... ‘Oof, this is going to hurt,” pagpapatuloy niya.
Para kay Hoult, 26, naalala lang niya ang pakiramdam na “mental” sa kanyang first love.
“The first time you fall in love, you are so mental that it’s very difficult to recall anything, isn’t it?” pagbibiro niya.
Nakita rin umano ni Stewart ang pagkakapareho ni Nia at ng pinakasikat niyang ginampanan na Bella sa Twilight – lalung-lalo na kung paano nakahanda ang mga ito na isuko ang lahat sa ngalan ng pag-ibig. Dinepensahan ni Stewart ang dalawang karakter bilang “f**king courageous.”
“I’m obviously really drawn to that idea... that element of both stories is kind of what turns me on the most about them, it’s that idea of being, like, seemingly weak or subject to something in terms of just your capacity,” aniya.
“You’re emotional, you are completely raw and you are willing to give it all up for someone, and so it seems that maybe, like, you’re on bottom or something -- like you are somehow giving yourself away -- but really you are finding yourself in doing that. It’s bold to do that, it’s f**king courageous to give yourself to someone like that.”
Bilang paglilinaw, sina Stewart at Hoult, na parehong nasangkot sa highly publicized romances at breakups – si Stewart sa kanyang co-star sa Twilight na si Robert Pattinson, at Hoult sa kanyang co-star sa X-Men: Apocalypse na si Jennifer Lawrence – ay mas lalong nagkakilala habang ginagawa ang Equals. Pero ayon kay Stewart, nakatulong ang pagiging inosente ng kanilang karakter sa pelikula para hindi sila masyadong magkailangan sa kanilang intimate scenes.
“There is something so pure about the elements of intimacy in this one -- they’re doing and experiencing things for the very first time with no regard for any predisposed ideas of what that might mean,” paliwanag ni Stewart. “They are just very animalistic ... like babies born into adult bodies. There was nothing embarrassing. It was all kind of, like, beautiful and pure.”
Nakausap ng ET ang director ng Equals na si Drake Doremus noong Mayo nang sabihin nito ang tungkol sa bathroom at shower scene ng dalawa.
“We carefully structured the shoot so that the bathroom scene was the first time they really touched in the film and really touched when we were shooting,” pag-amin ni Doremus. “It was this release and this feeling. What happens in the film was really happening on set.”
“I think they were just losing themselves,” dagdag niya, pinagdiinan din niyang siya ay “a passenger” lamang habang ginagawa ang pelikula. “At that point, they’re just in it.”
Ipapalabas ang Equals sa mga sinehan sa Hulyo 15. (ET Online)
