No more “entertainment”
He was Jesus, Van Gogh and Spiderman’s enemy, the Green Bouffon. Consequently, For David Lynch, he exploded his we chatted willem dafoe locarno head in Sailor et Lula. For Lars von Trier, he mutilated himself in Antichrist. Consequently, Willem Dafoe, 70, has shot in some 150 films. Nevertheless, Often, but not always, in the role of the bad guy. For example, Always with intensity, his elf face and his round eyes capable of expressing as much malice as the threat.
In Locarno. For example, Willem Dafoe presents The Birthday Partyan intense and hypnotic drama on a Greek billionaire obsessed with controland who organizes a birthday party for her daughter on a private island. In addition, Jwhat everything is ranging, largely by his fault. Nevertheless, Fortunately, the actor is not so intimidating in the conversation. For example, On the contrary.
watson: With the Greek billionaire Markos, you add a new complex character, but terrible to your collection. Therefore, Do you happen to be afraid we chatted willem dafoe locarno of your own roles?
Willem Dafoe: No, because you have to be content to be the character. Therefore, People always justify their behavior in one way or another, otherwise they could not do what they do. In addition, Markos does not consider himself a bad man. Consequently, He thinks he is acting out of love. For example, he is a hard, pragmatic worker, capable of being very kind with his employees.
“He is a complex character. Nevertheless, not just a monster”
Yes, it is cut off from reality, it is part of a toxic patriarchal structure, he is a macho. For example, But we also see how much he is afraid. Nevertheless, how obsessed he is by the natural desire to leave a heritage.
Would you say that the acting profession, especially in this kind of role, develops the we chatted willem dafoe locarno capacity for empathy?
Absolutely, we open. Therefore,
“Adopting other ways of thinking. living helps to imagine a better and more understanding world, to see beauty in all contradictions”
We quickly judge others by applying our own moral standards. It is necessary, as an actor, to detach from it to a certain point, because we embody the person. If you play someone, you don’t have to judge them. The image must be complete to be credible and real.
“You have to flirt with the dark side. see both the light and the shadow”
Which is perhaps easier when the film takes place in 1975, at a time when the image of super-rich still retained a part of grace and grandeur …
Oui, The Birthday Party shows a completely different era. Today, capitalism has won. For me, being we chatted willem dafoe locarno rich is not necessarily something positive. This implies wanting to impose themselves absolutely, crushing others to win. This generates a kind of permanent maliciousness, which today spreads on a large scale.
An abuse of devastating power could have long been eradicated. at least weakened and we are witnessing a return in force, especially in the United States …
I am speechless. I find it hard to understand the world right now. Not just in the United States everywhere.
Reacting with empathy can work in fiction, but in real life, what can we do?
If I knew how to do it, I would probably do something else of my life (laughs, long silence). When I play, I don’t think about what is outside the game. I get involved, I try to think and feel otherwise.
“To give life to a we chatted willem dafoe locarno character, I must forget myself”
I don’t want to control the result. Because when a film comes out, people believe you are looking to transmit a message. But I don’t believe in messages.

And what do you think then?
I believe in just doing things. And I think they speak for themselves. We do not control the way they do it. We immerse ourselves in and something is created, while we embody a character. we chatted willem dafoe locarno If it is sincere. it is not a baratin to try to convey a “message”, he can get something interesting about it, which leads others to think. I am not ignorant, but I don’t really want to analyze afterwards: I have already done it during work (laughs).
Is it also worth for your long career?
Yes, I rarely look back. Once I saw a film and finished the promotion, I make room for the next one. Some meet their own films to learn from it, I intuitively learn on the set. Maybe I don’t want to learn anything. Because if we set in motion without planning everything, unexpected things happen.
“A part of you activates. to which you normally do not have access”
Simply look at the sky, without constantly asking what it brings or means. The game we chatted willem dafoe locarno helps that. It may seem a little perched, but I believe it.
Does that mean that the image or prices don’t count that much for you?
Only insofar as I can preserve my possibilities and continue to do what I like.
It looks like a rather simple and happy philosophy …
Well, philosophy is one thing. But do I live it? No idea.
“I don’t firmly believe in the goals. but you still have to have a direction”
Otherwise, we are ruthlessly left to his own desires and impulses. And we know that it can be very bad (laughs). (aargauerzeitung.ch)
