Trascrizione
00:00Helen ha dovuto scrivere un altro libro, perché io sono pronti per raccontare più storie di Bridget, assolutamente.
00:10Sei diventata una suora, una suora molto sborcacciona.
00:13Ti ho messo su Tinder.
00:15Cos'è Tinder?
00:16Non mai in mia vita ho pensato che sia beccato per un film di Bridget Jones.
00:22Sì, questo è così profondo e così sorpresamente emozionale.
00:27So I want to ask you, Bridget's father says it's not enough to survive, you have to live,
00:33but it's not easy, how can we do that?
00:36It is not easy, but it's exactly where this movie begins,
00:41because it's a promise she made her father and she realises that now is the time,
00:46it's been four years since she lost the person that she never expected to lose.
00:51Bridget Jones and Mark Darcy, iconic couple, you know, it's just the two of them.
00:55And so, you know, it was an opportunity here to tell the story that's sadly so much,
01:01so many of us are going to be touched by some version of grief.
01:05So it's an important story, I think, to see how she does it.
01:09And in a classic Bridget way, there's no easy way, you know,
01:12that she gets it wrong more than she gets it right.
01:15But to answer your question, I think you have to, I think what Bridget shows us in the movie is
01:20that you have to get to a point where you're comfortable with who you are.
01:25There's a very important moment where she says, what I have is just what is everything that I want.
01:30It's me and my, Billy and Mabel, her children.
01:33It's only then where she's very centered and secure that she can then perhaps meet, is ready to meet somebody.
01:39We maybe have to embrace chaos, like she does.
01:43Like Emma Thompson tells us.
01:44Yeah.
01:45When Emma Thompson tells you something, it's true.
01:49Another really modern tragedy is ghosting.
01:52Oh, yeah.
01:53Why?
01:53Why people do that in your opinion?
01:55Well, you tell me.
01:56I wish they didn't do it.
01:57And it's not just ghosting.
01:59It's like, it all comes with this, you know, there's like a love bombing.
02:02So it's so much love and attention, right?
02:06And then suddenly, boom, nothing.
02:08It's very modern.
02:09You know, I've seen it in the, I mean, I didn't grow up with it.
02:12That's not how I've experienced like dating in the modern world.
02:16But, you know, I see it.
02:17It's really common.
02:19It's tragic.
02:20Yeah, it's terrible, terrible.
02:21And I love the dancing scenes.
02:26She's got the groove, of course.
02:27Yes.
02:28But I was shooting those scenes.
02:30Well, there's a couple.
02:31There's like a, there's actually like four of them in the film now that I think about it.
02:36Well, you know, it's all fun.
02:39And especially with that kind of, that kind of like freedom and physical stuff,
02:42because Renee is such a physical actress.
02:45She's a great physical comedian.
02:47It's very unusual to have an actress who's as good at like a physical comedian as she is a dramatic
02:52actress.
02:53And that's what this film is very fortunate to have.
02:57But yeah, there's, there's scenes with her dancing with Leo's character.
03:02There's scenes where she's dancing by herself.
03:04Yeah, it's, that's a big part of her life.
03:06She climbs the magical man tree.
03:10The magical man tree.
03:11Was it special?
03:12How did you find the right magical man tree?
03:14Oh, it took ages to find the right.
03:16But there is this beautiful oak tree.
03:18And I wanted it to be an oak tree because there's something very English and, you know, sort of solid
03:23about that.
03:24But yeah, this one happened to have this gorgeous view of London as well.
03:27So, yeah.
03:28The professor says that he wonders, where's the wonder and magic?
03:34Can you answer that question?
03:36Maybe in a movie?
03:37Yeah.
03:38For me, it's always been in the cinema.
03:40For me, like, and actually I will say this, even in the theatre, to me, wonder and magic, I'm always
03:46reminded of it.
03:47When I witness something that feels absolutely real moment between two people.
03:52And it's happened to me on sets when I'm working with actors and you just go, oh, I don't care
03:57if they're, if it's a comic moment or a tragic moment or an argument or anything.
04:03If, as soon as something just feels like life, to me, that's magic.
04:06And I think that's a little bit like, for him, he's a scientist.
04:10And so he answers that question his own way.
04:12Yeah.
04:13And, and I was having Colin Firth on set because we know he, Mr. Darcy passed away, but he has
04:20some camions.
04:21So I was, was it special?
04:23It was beautiful.
04:25It was beautiful.
04:26But, you know, at one point I can tell you that, that he came through the set that we had
04:30built, which is, you know, Bridget's house.
04:32And it's all kinds of photographs of Bridget and Mark Darcy over the years, right?
04:37And Mark, and he comes in for the scene that he plays there.
04:40And he came through and he said, you know, first of all, I've just walked through my life.
04:45You know, I've known, I've been in this movie for 25 years and I was a young man and all
04:50these pictures.
04:50And he just, he said, it was so beautiful to me.
04:52He said, as I walked through, I said, I felt like Mark in this film.
04:57And I said, what do you mean?
04:58And he said, because I felt like a memory.
05:00Like I don't live here, but I am here.
05:03You know what I mean?
05:03And that was what it was like having him.
05:06And I feel that we don't have finished with Bridget.
05:09Can we express something more?
05:11Please tell Helen though.
05:12Helen has to write another book because we all, you know, I'm ready to tell more stories of Bridget.
05:17Totally.
05:18Thank you so much.
05:19Thank you.
05:35Thank you.
05:36Thank you.
05:36Thank you.
05:37Thank you.
05:38Grazie a tutti
