As the daughter of the pioneer of independent film industry John Cassavese and the famous actor Gina Rowlands, it seems that Zoy R. Cassavese’s journey to the film has become an ironclad fact, only to see her in the end Will focus on the background or the front desk. It seems that the blood inherited by Zoi R. Casaveze seems to be closer to her father’s side, so she was able to create a "Broken English" that balances seriousness and wisdom while avoiding the familiarity. Familiar with the script, and then can smoothly switch roles, becoming the kind of experimental director who pays special attention to the actors' performance. You may have noticed that although the story of "Broken English" spans the two metropolises of New York and Paris, the picture gives people a very simple feeling, without the gorgeous visuals usually admired by romantic comedies, Zoy R. Ka Savizer said that it was her father who taught her what the essence of movies meant, and that under that gorgeous coat was what she really should pursue: "The room I grew up in was also the birthplace of many movies. I I like the feeling of "home theater", because my creativity is cultivated in this subtle influence. My father is a director, and when his interest comes, he will also play some roles; mine My mother is an actor; as for my brother and sister, they are either directors or, like me, they can choreograph, direct and act."
So, why did Zoy R. Casaveze think of creating such a bitter but sweet love story? Casaveze explained that the inspiration of the story came from a voice of "older young women", and she also added some of her own experiences: "The reason why the idea of making "Broken English" came about is because of my side People are always asking me if I am married or have a boyfriend.every time at this time, I have a feeling of being completely defeated, and I find that this phenomenon is also common among my friends. It seems that there is a certain age here. People over this age, whether they are male or female, will be considered to be at least bathed in love. Those with more dexterous hands and feet are estimated to be married and may even have children. But relatively speaking, people of this age are more confused about feelings than before, so I want to further analyze similar topics and study this feeling between loneliness and shame.” In addition, Ka Savizer also has a soft spot for real human stories: "I like to make the characters in my story feel pain and insecurity, because only pain can prove that you are alive. They always keep their eyes on In other people’s lives, jealous that others can have everything they can’t have.”
Regarding how much "autobiography" is in the film, Zoi R. Casaveze’s answer is more pertinent. He didn’t evade the important, and he was not ashamed to say: "If you are a writer, you will use those of you. Do things I don’t know as story material? I’m not afraid to make some of my personal experiences an integral part of the film. At the same time, I’m still a bystander in other people’s lives. As long as I remember, I will add them. In the story. Why are people fascinated by the romance of'doing for love'? The answer is simple, because love is the most common basic element in human nature, and all forms of love are the same. It’s painful and happy to go with it. I don’t think anyone will be at ease with a sudden, unplanned love, and what the audience wants to see is how our heroes and heroines will deal with such situations." Indeed, "Broken English" tells an anti-traditional love story. Perhaps you are not unfamiliar with the content, but you will still be moved to tears by the process of the heroine in the film "searching for herself".
