wellntruly:you-belong-among-wildflowers: “After all these years, Robbie’s story has really stayed with me. We took this beautifully perfect man and destroyed his soul. In the beginning of the film he’s so incredibly open as a person that it ends up killing him. By the second half of the film, he’s a different man, no longer as empathetic but utterly tainted, borderline suicidal and so very damaged that I found myself letting my shoulders collapse during takes so that I could protect his heart. I was so emotionally torn up by it and if I watch it, I relive it all over again. It was on at Christmas time and my family wanted to watch a bit of it but I had to leave the room.“- James McAvoyI don’t know if I can remember another time I’ve stumbled across a little thing so startlingly sad that I fell right into thin laughing tears. Just startled right out of me! What the honest to hell, James McAvoy!“I found myself letting my shoulders collapse during takes so that I could protect his heart” oh my god who are you -- source link
