  • Andrew Garfield, Taika Waititi and Zendaya: the reasons expressed by famous colleagues

    As you can see, there are many illustrious names that have motivated the presence in the list of these actors. Since translating them all takes too long, let’s focus on what they wrote about three of them, because they are real declarations of love towards the chosen characters, starting with Martin Scorsese on Andrew Garfield:

    Choosing the protagonist for my adaptation of Silence it was not easy: it was a difficult role at all levels. When Andrew Garfield came to the audition, I immediately saw that he understood Rodrigues’ character. He gave his all to the role. In preparation, he even completed the Ignatian spiritual exercises, a truly remarkable feat. When we started working, I realized that Andrew could get to any emotional level the story required, sometimes immediately. I developed a sense of confidence and trust in him that I have found far too rarely. Often, when preparing to shoot one of the many emotionally difficult scenes Andrew and I had been working on painstakingly for months, I found myself confronting him, seeing that he was totally immersed in that moment, and letting him free to do it. Sometimes I just listened. I knew he was giving exactly what he owed at the moment. He is a remarkable artist, one of the greats of his generation.

    And we continue, with more playful but equally sincere tones, with Sacha Baron Cohen on Taika Waititi:

    It can be said that a film was made by Taika Waititi in the same way that a picture could be said to have been painted by Picasso. Not because he doesn’t know where his eyes are going in his face, but because of the way he expresses his unique voice. The first Taika work I saw was her 2014 mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows, a film that could have been a disaster, but it was extraordinary. He was brilliantly comical and at the same time somehow got me hooked on the fate of a group of murderous vampires. So I got it into my head to meet Taika and get him to work with me, which he obviously refused to do. Now, having seen all the movies of him, since Hunt for the Wilderpeople to Reservation Dogs, I’m really embittered. Taika won an Oscar and made some hilarious, heartfelt blockbuster movies. Yet he always gives his work a light touch. He tells stories that are really worth seeing, even when they are sad or satirical. And they are always fun. He represents the best of a bygone era of Hollywood wilds and rock stars, mixed with the genius of a first-rate author … Actually, sorry, but this guy is starting to really piss me off. “I’m a goddamn genius and I’m funny too.” Could anyone else write this article?

    Finally, we conclude with the enthusiasm of Denis Villeneuve for Zendaya

    For me, Zendaya is a thousand years old. She has already lived many lives before this one. Still, she is also as young as spring. By some inextricable paradox, she also gives the impression that she was born in a distant time in the future. She is timeless, and she can do it all. Just in the last year or so, Zeldaya lit up, like a shooting star captured on celluloid, Malcom & Marie by Sam Levinson. She exploded emotionally as her teenage years disintegrated into Levinson’s cultural phenomenon, Euphoria. She shone in Spider-Man: No Way Home, a film that dominated the box office in a year in which she became the muse of extremes. But Zendaya is so much more than that. She is in herself an autonomous creative force, a cultural icon in fieri. A person guided by pure inspiration, empathy and respect for her craft, which she uses authenticity as a new super power. She looks fearless, she has deep roots and I love the fact that she still laughs like a little girl. Zendaya is the future. And there is nothing that comforts me more. This is just the beginning.
