Everything knows its place in the scheme of things. Everything...

Everything knows its place in the scheme of things. Everything sits in the order somewhere. Things survive because they’re strong. Everything reaches an understanding. But not everything survives because it’s strong. Some creatures are weak, but they survive because they’re being protected by the strong, for one reason or another. You may think that, because of the circles that you move in or whatever, you’re one of the strong creatures, but you’re not. You’re one of the weak ones. It’s nothing against you, you’re just weak because you’re young. But you’ve survived because you’ve been protected by the strong. But they’re not strong anymore. And they’re certainly not able to protect you.

Good Clobber: Guy Pearce's good clobber in Mildred Pierce:

goodclobber:

Ever-excellent US broadcaster HBO has made a five part mini-series based on James M Cain’s 1941 novel ‘Mildred Pierce’. The first episode is airing in the UK on Sky Atlantic this Saturday and I think the DVD will be available towards the end of the year.

The show stars Kate Winslet and Guy…

charlidos: One more interview with Tom Hardy & Guy Pearce...

charlidos:

One more interview with Tom Hardy & Guy Pearce from Cannes. It’s impossible to get tired of this, isn’t it? Tom always has something new and interesting or funny and weird to say. Particularly the last bit… ♥

Stepping into a packed room of journalists all waiting to ask each of them a question or two about their new filmLawless, Tom Hardy and Guy Pearcecame prepared. When one journalist tried to sneak in that ever-aching The Dark Knight Rises angle, Hardy dismissed it like an old pro: “You can’t have that question. Next question, because it’s Batman. Come on, it’s just wasting our time. Next question.”

And so it goes. Pearce went on to discuss what he took from gangster pictures past as inspiration. A short discussion, I’ll have you: “I just relied on the script, the personality that becomes evident in the script, so I find it a very difficult thing to explain, the crystallizing of a character, but it comes about through some version of what’s there on the page and some version of what’s in my head, and what is then created that I wouldn’t have necessarily been able to think of myself.”

Pearce admitted that he stayed away from the source material, Matt Bondurant‘s The Wettest County in the World, instead relying of stills from the Prohibition Era to aid his character’s look and feel, which is a performance on to its own.

As for the various accents that are thrown around in the period piece, Hardy explained that, for him, the authenticity of the vocal tones mean very little to him: “…I couldn’t tell you whether my accent [in the film] is genuine or authentic, nor do I really give a shit. What I care about is whether the character is [relatable]. Whether you identify with him, whether you like him, whether he can get away with doing some heinous stuff and still you feel for him.”

The duo went on to discuss their relationships with certain filmmakers (this is Pearce’s third film withLawless director John Hillcoat, while Hardy’s got a couple with Chris Nolan under his belt) and how that relationship comes about and is sustained. “I think there’s an innate respect, like with his chap and whoever else, so it’s rare, special people who come into your life, but you know straightaway,” Pearce said. Hardy had a more blunt take on the subject: “It’s family. When it’s not broken, don’t try and fix it, right?.” As for those you work with in which that relationship doesn’t develop: “We call it chaff. Riff-raff.”

The two then begin an aside, recalling their days in the make-up trailer, playing Angry Birds and the like, describing how the violence and heavy themes in the film made the downtime more fun, more relieving and enjoyable.

Commented Pearce: “I’ve worked on things that seemed relatively simple story-wise, and you have a horrible time. And, not because it’s a simple story, but if the dynamic and the connection between people isn’t natural and isn’t kind of honest and trusted, it’s a pain in the ass. And suddenly, you’re dragging your feet through the mud.”

And finally, Hardy opened about being wary of getting too proud of any performance or moment in any film:

“I think it was watching last night [at the premiere], to be honest, when we got to Cannes, and we were standing [before the film started] and the camera ran along all of our faces…and then, when I saw the camera get to John’s face, and I saw him well-up, I saw the relief and the release of something in my friend that I realized how big a moment this is for me. I suppose it’s taken twelve years [to get here], and to not be the guy who’s like ‘*GASP* I’m at Cannes?’ To be the guy at Cannes who’s like, ‘I’m at fucking Cannes.’ And this was a really amazing experience. My mom is here, my dad is here, I’m sober, I will remember it in the morning, I’m not going to hit anybody, you know. I’m alive! And, these people are considerably fucking talented people, and this is a very small world. I have allowed myself to pride, and quickly fucking put it away because I’ll go, ‘THAT’S MINE!’ Fucking dispatch me to the blackness, and go, ‘you have the wrong Tom Hardy!’”

sannao75:

Antonia Bird(director commentary): “Certinaly one of the things that attracted me to it was the themes of….addiction and…um…god, I can’t think of a word. Addiction and…desperate need for something you know that you shouldn’t have. So in a way Carlyle’s character is the ultimate drug pusher and Guy’s character is the ultimate junkie. Just playing with that whole idea was very interesting and Carlyle is so bad, but he’s so sexy, you know? And you feel like: “I have to join his gang otherwise I’m so boring!” And I wanted the audience to feel that with Boyd. So as we build up through this next section of the film to the big climax at the end, you just can’t figure out what side you’re on, you’re just getting drawn into the seduction. Yeah, I mean, Carlyle actually described…described this film as a love story. Slightly with tonuge in cheek, but there’s a REALLY strong sexual…side, in a way, to what he’s trying to seduce Boyd to do. And the whole…I mean, again, I come back to the whole vampire movie thing. You know, the sexual suggestiveness of drinking each others blood and…”

Ives: “Clearing up. I found your Private Reich up there. Well, what was left of him, you didn’t finish. Well, I can’t blame you, he was tough. But then….a good soldier ought to be. *breathes in* You know, not that long ago I couldn’t do that. I could barely take a breath without coughing up a pint of blood. Turberculosis. That, along with…fierce headaches…depression…suicidal ambition. I was in pretty horrible shape. In fact… I was on my way to a sanitorium to convalesce, more likely to die. When en route this Indian scout told me a curious story. A man eats the flesh of another…he steals his strength. He absorbs the other man’s spirit. Well…! I just had to try. Consequently, I ate the scout first and, you know, he was absolutely right. I grew…stronger. Later, through circumstance, my wagon train grew lost in the Rockies.”

Boyd: “I’ve heard this story before.”

Ives: “Mhh… I ate five men in three months. Tuberculosis? Vanished. As did the black thoughts. I reached the end of that spring feeling…happy. And healthy. And virile.”

Boyd: “Did you eat her too?”

Ives: “Well, as a matter of fact….”

Boyd: “You’re disgusting!”

Ives: *laughs* Here I am one year later, I’m feeling more alive than ever before. And that’s what surprises me about you, Boyd. You’ve tasted it. Felt it’s power. Yet you’re resisting. Why?”

Boyd: “Because it’s wrong.”

Ives: “Ah! Morality. The last bastion…of a coward. Oh, I’m sorry. I’m sorry, did I offend you? *Boyd cuts Ives hand with his sword* Remember this? You smell it? Scent always jogs the memory, don’t you think? Remember the energy? The potency of someone else coursing through your veins. Someone brave. Knowing the dissapointment as it dissipates. The strength…slipping from your grasp…growing…killing need to replenish. I don’t have to remind you of that! You’re feeling it right now.”
