SBIFF 2016 - Cinema Vanguard - Rooney Mara Talks Making Carol

[@RaidoRuna]

"flung out of space (...) ...that's the way I feel about Cate; that's the way I felt about Cate the first time I saw her. I was like, where does this creature comes from?" she's totally in love with Cate!!!!!!

[@oriana173]

RaidoRuna yes I think so. what a shame that cate is married already I think she feel same way for.her too. the feeling is mutual

[@curlysue338]

0:03 Rooney consistently reacts like this whenever that phrase flung out of space or Cate is mentioned.

[@manogomes6453]

just let them love each other, people. the world is free.

[@kathleensilva2414]

Cate and Rooney were both magnificent in Carol.Such a beautiful romance journey.

[@littlefurnace]

I love that the interviewer brings up the relevance of Edie Windsor in relation to this story. It occured to me that Carol and Therese could for sure just break up at any point going on from the novel/movie, but there's also that small chance that they could have been Edie and Thea. It's a very exciting concept.

[@semihalf07]

I love these interviews.

[@curlysue338]

1:12 Always go back to Cate

[@cravenyoh]

'Flung out of space' .... I think it is one felt that they cannot imagine such a person exist... They Felt 'Falling in. Love' when they sees that person ... Just my thoughts

3:36 was awkward af, this dude can't even say gay

a "almost completely internalized performance" has nothing to do with a bullshit meter or not faking or being revelatory lol. Most performances that are described, or euphemized, as "internalized" largely consist of an actor doing practically nothing and is usually not effective. There's a difference between being present, nuanced and subtle, and a "completely internalized" performance. Irrespective of any particular performance or film discussed, an actor needs to inhabit the period and style of the film, a long with inhabiting their character's context. Playing a passive character, for instance, is not equal to giving an "internalized performance". Passive, reserved, etc, is often confused with "internal". Being present and expressive, and adapting, is important. An "internalized performance" throughout a film is ultimately rarely effective in full, unless the entire film and character context demand it, and even then it's usually not compelling or ends up coming off as too vague and inauthentic. Now this is just commentary on that notion, not on Rooney Mara's performance here, which I thought was very good and largely worked, though I've heard some people comment that it didn't work for them. Her chemistry with Blanchett was palpable however.

Joe interviewer questions regarding Cate Blanchett is a little embarrassing .. but Rooney went reply trust, friendship Cate connection with 3.00-3.15 ..
