The movie "Wuthering Heights" debuts behind-the-scenes special, a new adaptation to explain the craze of love
"Wuthering Heights", starring Hollywood stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elotti, released a behind-the-scenes special today, inviting viewers to "walk into Wuthering Heights" and explore the story behind the creation. The film is adapted from the classic literary work of the same name by the famous British writer Emily Bronte. It is directed by Oscar-winning and British Academy Award-winning director Emmerald Fennell, and Margot Robbie serves as producer. The new female creative team has carefully polished it to inject a subversive and modern interpretation into this Gothic sadistic love. The film will be released nationwide on March 13. A soul obsession born of love and hate is about to roar!
Strive to reconstruct a century-old sadistic love, love and hate penetrate the screen and directly hit people's hearts
In a behind-the-scenes special released today, director Emmerold Fennell shared the core of the new version of Wuthering Heights: "What I want to create is a work that condenses the feelings I felt when I first read the original when I was 14." Over the past century, Wuthering Heights, which has been regarded as a literary classic, has moved countless readers with its eternal and profound emotions. Emmerald Fennel recalled "having a fanatical dreamlike feeling" when reading it. The director's adaptation is not a simple reproduction, but weaves modern people's emotional dilemmas and desires into this century-old sadomasochistic love. "Distorted, seductive, romantic," Margot Robbie described Emmerald Fennel's presentation of Wuthering Heights. In an increasingly atomized modern society, what the director is determined to recreate is the passionate and sincere emotion between Cathy and Heathcliff that is desperate, crushing personal boundaries, and fanatical dreams.
"Wuthering Heights" contains strong and rich emotions from props to shots. The doll symbolizing Cathy in the trailer is cleverly cut together with the real Cathy's picture, implying that Cathy's fate is like that of a doll; the walls of Cathy's room are reproduced with the actor Margot Robbie's skin., which makes the room no longer a simple and spotless background, but an extension of the character's life; In addition, the director used close-ups to amplify Cathy and Heathcliff's pain and longing. Every trembling breath and restrained touch between the protagonists were infinitely drawn closer, allowing the audience and the characters to share the feeling. There is nowhere to escape suffocation and longing.
Accurate interpretation triggers soul resonance and perfectly presents century love and feud
In the movie "Wuthering Heights", Cathy is enthusiastic, vivid and full of longing. Her charm comes from the courage to look directly at her own desires, the courage to break through all boundaries, and pursue the true desire of her soul. And Cathy's actor Margot Robbie is also full of this strong vitality. Jacob Elotti described Robbie as "strong, enthusiastic, and with a mythical temperament." It can be seen in the trailer that has been released that Margot Robbie interprets Cathy's struggle, pain and fall into depth. Whether it's revealing her heart wholeheartedly with Nelly or looking into the eyes affectionately with Heathcliff in the rain, this determination similar to Cathy's, knowing what she wants and daring to devote it all, makes the audience believe that Robbie can interpret a Cathy who is both loyal to the soul of the original work and belongs to this era.
The epic love affair of "Wuthering Heights" also puts forward extreme requirements for the trust and tacit understanding between the two leading actors. In an interview, Margot Robbie shared her story of how quickly she built trust with Jacob Elotti. In the first few days of filming, Jacob Elotti would always appear in every corner of her, staring at her, which made her feel very at ease. The trust and tacit understanding quickly established between the protagonists makes the ultimate love-hate entanglement in the film more infectious, and also makes the audience full of expectations for the final presentation of the film.
"Wuthering Heights" will be available in theaters across the country in 2D, CINITY, IMAX, and Dolby Cinema formats. We will see you on the big screen on March 13!
