sigrid she and her younger self
Sigrid, the character Maria played more than 20 years ago when she was 18. Her Bole William chose her, an unnamed 18-year-old actor, to play the heroine Sigrid in "Snake of Maria" more than 20 years ago, and she has since become her.
Sigrid is not just a character for Maria, she has made her the success she is now, and even the role of Sigrid has entered her personality, to a certain extent, she still thinks she is Sigrid Germany. She loves and yearns for the transcendent freedom in Sigrid.
An influential director, Klaus, pushed Maria to play Helena in the remake of "Snake of Maria," but the 40-year-old repeatedly refused.
Maria, 40, is still engrossed in her fascination with Sigrid when she was 18, and despises the role of Helena, 40, in the play. She thinks Helena is the opposite of Sigrid, they are completely different. In her eyes, Helena is a weak person, she is madly in love with a Sigrid who doesn't like her at all, and even leads herself to stupidly choose suicide for this.
Maria, who is going through a divorce, is lonely and fragile, and has no energy to take on the show. The role of Helena makes her afraid. Another reason is that Susan, the actor who played Helena 20 years ago, died in a car accident a year after she played.
Regarding William's desire to make a sequel to Maria's Serpent, Maria thought it was about Sigrid at age 40, while Klaus thought it was about Sigrid at 20 Later became the story of Helena. Klaus believed that their attraction stemmed from the fact that Sigrid and Helena were essentially the same person, while Maria believed that it was Sigrid's youth that attracted Helena.
The actor who starred in "Snake of Maria" at the time believed that Sigrid used Helena to squeeze everything out of her and then abandoned her, and that Helena's love for Sigrid made her stupid and blind. Maria thought this impossible love was equally cruel to Sigrid. The actor disagreed, believing that the young Sigrid would come out soon, and she still had youth, time, and an unknown life in front of her. Helena, 40, isn't used to being rejected, and she can't accept her weaknesses. Maria argued that Helena, who was not too old, had her own life in front of her, but she gave up all of it.
Maria was still immersed in Sigrid's perspective in words and consciousness.
Maria, 40, as an accomplished actor, has the privilege of choosing the movies she's in, she thinks she's past that age for an X-Men role like Nemesis, and she's tired of hanging up. Acting on a tightrope in front of a green screen. She can screen her own commercial performances and advertisements and refuse cover interviews. She has the opportunity to work with great directors and superstars, and get a decent salary, and even the salary can no longer be her main consideration. But at the age of 40, under the aura of success, she is still afraid to face the fact that her youth has passed away.
In order to commemorate William, she decided to play Helena. Following the play, she came to the place where William, who had been acquainted with her, wrote to try to figure out her role, immersed in the past and reality, she was very confused.
She still has images of her playing Sigrid when she was 18. When she entered the role of Helena, she was full of resistance. She always had the memory of Susan playing this frustrated woman in her mind, which made her even more disgusted with the role of resisting Helena. She resented the destructiveness of Helena being frustrated by age, insecurities, toying with applause by a young girl, using Sigrid as an excuse for suicide. Sigrid, on the other hand, was young, capable, and popular, with an unshakable self-confidence, in stark contrast to Helena.
Maria, who played the dazzling Sigrid 20 years ago, plays Helena more than 20 years later, and it's hard for her to accept that the show tends to make Sigrid better. As assistant Valentina helped her familiarize herself with the scenes in the rehearsal, Helena frustrated and frustrated her. Whenever she tried to impose Helena's role on herself, she felt uncomfortable and kept thinking about quitting. She has always held contempt for Helena, and she still stays in Sigrid's mood, thinking that she is still Sigrid. Playing Helena and adjusting to the role of Helena made the show so important to her unattractive and ruined her memory as Sigrid.
Playing 40-year-old Helena, she can't get out of her memory of playing Sigrid when she was 18.
At 40 years old, Maria can't get out of the troubles of age.
Sigrid in her life: Valentina
In the play, Sigrid is Helena's personal assistant. In reality, Valentina is Maria's personal assistant, and she and Maria have a stronger bond beyond their working relationship.
She is often tired of two constant phone calls, not only dealing with all the financial affairs of Maria, but also in charge of Maria's personal affairs. She is in charge of Mary's daily life and even her emotions, helping her analyze and judge, and sometimes she needs to guide and help her make decisions. She is inseparable from Maria, in addition to knowing Maria's likes and dislikes, emotional minefield, she has a deeper understanding of Maria. They would smoke a cigarette together, go hiking, go wild swimming together, and Maria would share untold love affairs with her, and would not accuse Valentina of driving the wrong way. When Valentina got off the car at the gas station, she would gently close the car door, for fear of disturbing the sleeping Maria in the car.
Maria would envy Valentina's freedom to socialize and go out at an age when she would mind if her favorite actress wasn't her. Jealous of her personal time, thoughts, and even her feelings. When Valentina drove out to meet the photographer, she would run up to the roof to peek at her leaving, looking down and sitting in the dark alone. And sneaking to see if Valentina came back in the early morning, she didn't know whether she was dependent on Valentina or some unspeakable emotion.
Maria, 40, despises online rumors and gossip, doesn't understand young people's culture, and doesn't pay attention to celebrity news. She was always stubborn, ignoring Valentina's advice on foot, and getting lost in so-called shortcuts. They also always have differences in their work life.
In terms of her attitude towards Joanna, Valentina thinks she's cool and Maria thinks she's a self-destructive crazy girl.
In her opinion of Joanna's characters, Maria thinks these characters are stupid, just because of the story background of spaceships and superpowers, she thinks that they are cliché and ridiculous. Valentina believes that such a film contains no less truth than a film considered serious The love that drives her to betrayal madness, which is brave, makes Maria laugh with disdain. Valentina appreciates the innocence that Joanna takes seriously and immerses herself in characters that don't make sense, and Maria looks down on these characters, which is why Valentina admires everything Joanna does. When she watched Valentina's film, their similar age and culture made them feel no distance.
Maria will be jealous of Valentina's admiration and liking of Joanna, jealous that her understanding of Joanna has no age distance, and even doubt her acting skills and question her old-fashionedness because of Valentina's liking for Joanna , even saying "what can I do to make you worship me".
In Valentina's eyes, she felt that Maria couldn't expect to be as successful as her, and the multi-talented actress could still maintain the privilege of youth.
Regarding Sigrid's attitude, Maria scorns and dislikes the role of Helena. Valentina thinks that Helena's daring to face her own pain is more human and touching than Sigrid's arrogance and cruelty. .
In terms of understanding of the lines in the play, Sigrid expressed Helena's desire in words: "You will be my love, I will continue to drive everyone away, and I will hold you tighter and tighter." This line, Maria thinks too false, too dramatic, she does not believe that people can be blinded by their own emotions. And Valentina thinks that although this is a dramatic effect, a way of interpreting life, it may even be more real than life itself. Maria still stands by her opinion, she believes that she is better able to distinguish between falsehoods and falsehoods when she goes deep into the heart of the character. Maria believes that Valentina's interpretation of the script is the exact opposite of what the script is trying to convey. Valentina said that at the age of 20, Maria saw Sigrid's ambition and saw her fierce side because she felt the same. The lines can be interpreted differently from different angles.
In terms of how to play the script, Valentina encourages Maria to try to find that innocence, accepting Helena as Sigrid did, and it's easier to resonate with strength than weakness. Valentina's methods are not accepted by Maria, making Valentina frustrated.
In understanding Helena's death, the ending of Helena "she went on a hike and never came back", Valentina's understanding is broader, thinking that she does not have to be dead, but can disappear, somewhere else restart. As for Maria, Helena undoubtedly committed suicide.
Valentina expressed her intention to leave to Maria several times. She thought that Maria despised her thoughts and despised her thoughts as being too simple and uninteresting. It would be meaningless to her if she just found someone to answer the lines. She doesn't have to stay with her. After Maria took over the role of Helena, Valentina has been suffering from Maria's distaste for the show and the character being transferred to herself. After Maria "I need you" to stay, Valentina, who wanted to leave several times, chose to stay.
In the extremely bad weather, they hiked to see the snake cloud. Maria always questioned the path chosen by Valentina who was holding the map. When Valentina showed the map to her, she still questioned her judgment. . Thinking that the path she was pointing would never see a snake cloud, Valentina continued on, and in a valley, she left Maria. When Maria found that Valentina was missing, she shouted Valentina's name in the mountains, looking for her figure.
As in the play, Sigrid feels heavy in the familiar world, she wants to feel the changes in the world and wants to be a part of it. Helena's over-dependence on Sigrid made her feel like she wasn't free. Sigrid eventually left Helena, and in reality, Valentina eventually left Helena.
Sigrid in Her and Career: Joanna
Joanna Ellis plays Sigrid in Klaus' remake of "Snake Maria."
At the age of 19, she has participated in superhero movies. She has some theatrical background. After training in classical art, she does not want to be swallowed up by Hollywood. She admires Maria so much that she is even willing to withdraw from another film contract. Director Klaus spoke highly of the young actor and thought she was more interesting than interviews and profiles.
Before Maria cooperated with Joanna, she saw some news about Joanna on the Internet, which made her full of worries.
Joanna Ellis, is a crazy girl with a wild body, with a cool attitude to life, the Internet is full of negative content about her drunkenness, nude photos, and love cheating with superstars, and some media even commented that she is the top who wants to be the worst actress actress.
Before the official rehearsal, Joanna came to visit Maria, admiring Maria, and complimenting her words - "You are the type of actress I want to be", saying that parents who rarely watch movies watch After all her performances, she even wanted to become an actress and continue her acting career because of her. The compliments all night made her leave a good impression on Maria, and even made Joanna suspicious for a while. Maria complimented Joanna.
Joanna thinks that Maria, who once played Sigrid, is very brave to play Helena, which requires facing the passage of time and facing her past self.
During rehearsals for The Serpent of Maria, Maria suggested that in the opening scene of Act Three, when Sigrid told Helena she was leaving, and Helena knelt down and begged her to stay, West Grid didn't look back at Helena at all, as if she didn't exist at all, and Maria suggested to Joanna if she could pause there for a second and look back at Helena, her grief would last longer. Maria showed that Joanna's way of acting made the audience go with her and immediately forget about Helena. She suggested to Joanna based on her experience playing Sigrid, that the effect would be more shocking and dramatic. And Joanna thought it was ridiculous and completely unnecessary. She thought that no one cared about Helena at that moment, and when Sigrid left her office, Helena, the poor woman, was a complete failure. Maria at this moment resembled Helena who wanted to leave Sigrid behind. Maria suddenly realized that she was lost in her own memories, and it was time to move on.
A sci-fi director wanted her in his film, and when they met she thought she was no longer the young Maria she once was, and she recommended Joanna for the role, believing she was smart, talented and modern, compared to For herself, she is more suitable for the role. The director explained that this role is beyond time, and there is no age limit. Maria feels that "beyond time" is very abstract for her now.
When the "Snake of Maria" was officially staged, Maria confidently and calmly accepted the role of Helena.
She began to say goodbye to Sigrid, accepting Helena, 40, and the time passing by.
