Both role player wow you with their ability to vanish into their persona with Jennifer Connelly displaying such passion and dedication that lay down you inquire why she is n’t in more films these days .
During this sit down with Screen Rant , Jeff and Jennifer discuss how they prepared to take on the roles and honor these tangible - life masses .
I was completely ignorant of what happen in Yarnell so while I was watching the pic I was like , ‘ something regretful is going to pass off ’ , but I did not expect all nineteen adept to drop dead . So I was still in double-dyed jounce until your character come in out of that barn , drop to her knees and then I was just done for . Then the two of you in the truck , you impersonate such in the raw grief that I rarely see in films , you get the nice watchword face . How difficult was it to impersonate that raw grief during those scenes ?
Jennifer Connelly : Well it’s … I just have to say that it was an honour to be part of the movie honestly , and have the opportunity to play Amanda , and to severalise her write up . It was a tragic matter that happened . I opine in the instant you seek to … for me as best I could I essay to understand the circumstances , taste to grapple with it intellectually . Like what happen , the logistics of it , but in the moment doing it I guess you just empathize , and connect to something human that we all share . A form of fundamental whatever we all may have feel in our own lives . In the mode when you read a story , when you see a film you could be impact emotionally in a splanchnic level . You hear to tie to that basic shared humanity and empathy .
Jeff Bridges : For me , kind of beyond Christian Bible , beyond intellectualizing what your matter is those are all important elements that go into it , but then it ’s just being in the comportment of Brendan McDonough who survived the fire , who was often on the set , or Duane Steinbrink , my fibre , who ’s the Division Wildland Fire Chief . Just receive those guys in the room with you it ’s kind of beyond words . The word that comes to thinker is ‘ vibe ’ , but it ’s this vibration , and this commonalty , and we ’re here to represent what being a human being is like . A vital kind of spate happens . You do your good . You show up , and let it flow through you .
Marsh and Amanda . They have such a great love account in the film , it ’s one of my favorite relationships in the film , also between Duane and Marsh , but the thing that gets in between them is his passion for the flack , for his boy . Have either of you felt so consumed by something that has ever threatened a personal family relationship in your life ? I cognise that goes deep but …
Jeff Bridges : No , no , we ’ve been doing these interviews now [ turn to Jennifer ] , when you said about bed somebody , but stimulate to broadcast them off to this — and you do n’t know if they ’ll add up back . I keep recollect of my wife Sue , you know I ’ve been married 40 class , my married woman has put up with me going off doing these different movies , becoming dissimilar hoi polloi , come back a small odd . I think there ’s a call to be brave in all of our lives . That ’s what was inspiring to me , to not draw off back , but to really — like these brave firefighters , really go in there and confront what you ’re afraid of . It ’s the relationship [ points to Jennifer ] . I love what they did [ Jennifer and Josh ] . It strike me personally .
