Hillester in the film belongs to a very powerful woman. Regardless of her temperament or income, she is a typical strong woman. Maybe because she is used to this kind of superior status, she quickly forgot who it was. After providing her with so much support and help, Rashida Jones explained: “There is no doubt that Hillest belongs to that kind of energetic and professional woman. In contrast, Jesse looks too passive and passive. Like a big boy who didn’t grow up, it was their different personalities that caused the differences between them to grow bigger and bigger, and eventually developed into an irreparable gap. However, the balance set by Hellerst was very quick. She was out of her control, which made her feel at a loss, because she was a person who was born to be in a dominant position-when she could no longer get Jesse's response as before, she became blind and lost. self."
However, there is still a certain difference between Hillest and the conventional workaholics. After Rashida Jones's interpretation, she is covered by her strong and ambitious impulse. In fact, it is a sensitive and fragile heart. This gave this strong woman a soft side that made people feel sympathetic. Jennifer Todd, who served as the producer of the film, said: "From my personal point of view, I really will Some of the words in the film are empathetic, such as, “My child’s father must at least own a private car.” Maybe it’s because I’m also the kind of woman with a more successful career, so I can understand Hellerst’s A slightly arrogant and selfish psychology-she belongs to a widely recognized contemporary woman, and only in independent films like "Hillest and Jesse" can she show her truest side. If it’s a mainstream romantic comedy, the situation is completely different. At the beginning of the story, the heroine often just lost her job. Because of her overpowering past, she had to taste the bitterness of herself, perhaps even because I was frustrated and accidentally sprained my foot. In short, everything that happened was the most embarrassing thing you could imagine. But under the rendering of Jones's pen and ink, Hillest was not like this at all." Director Lee Tolan De Clegg believes: "Even today in 2012, you rarely see such an ambitious and ambitious woman in the world of movies. Under normal circumstances, it is only some form of botchedness. The parody or irony of the role of Jones—and Jones’s attitude towards her career is very tenacious and serious, and it is intertwined with sweetness and sadness."
Lee Toland Clegg in his self-written and directed big-screen debut "The Vicious Kind" (The Vicious Kind) showed a rare film talent and a strong sense of drama, but also firmly Attracting the attention of Jennifer Todd and the two screenwriters, Craig admitted: “The first time I read the script of "Hillest and Jesse", I instantly realized that what they wanted was not that. This kind of frivolous love comedy, their intention is to explain the true meaning of sadness. In fact, in the process of interpreting this story, the film "Husbands and Wives" (Husbands and Wives) was replayed in my mind, and I It can also be seen that we should extend these to what extent. Of course, we chose a relatively difficult film road, but we are all very much looking forward to the result, because we understand that this film is bound to It creates an incredibly emotional atmosphere, and I believe people will definitely resonate with its directness to varying degrees." Rashida Jones went on to say: "Will McCormack and I set up a very ingenious setting for the whole story. , Fine tone, there have been too many key turning points in it, it is indeed a bit difficult to grasp-but at the same time, if we grasp the correct rhythm, we can get the wide range of humor contained in it Maximum diffusion, although a bit sad, but full of hope. So we urgently need a filmmaker who can understand our ideas, and Craig meets all our requirements."
Even though it is interspersed with intense pain and sorrow, the core part of "Hillest and Jesse" is still a comedy, and the ultimate goal is to create tangible entertainment. Several filmmakers jointly contributed to this film Gathering is a very strong cast. In addition to Will McCormack and Rashida Jones who participated in the screenwriting work, Andy from "Saturday Night Live" joined the ranks of performances. Samberg (Andy Samberg), and then with him were Emma Roberts (Emma Roberts), Chris Messina (Chris Messina) and Elijah Wood (Elijah Wood)-Roberts played "Bad Girl" Lily, as an opportunist, she is very polarized from Hillest in the film. Roberts said: “Lilly lives in a completely different world, especially with Hillest. In comparison, it is really interesting to see such a lively and intense collision after they met. Although Riley is a bit forgetful, she is not stupid, I think she just doesn’t know what to do Just make appropriate actions on specific occasions."
