内容摘要：Who, exactly, Bob turns out to be furthers this theme in “Thunderbolts,” which never feels like it’s lurching from one action set piece to another. That the final act of the movie is essentially set in a headspace, rather than above a threatened metropolis, is a testament to the interiority (not a word that often comes up in Marvel movies) of “Thunderbolts,” a film that finds vivid comic-book imagery to render authentic real-life emotions.

Who, exactly, Bob turns out to be furthers this theme in “Thunderbolts,” which never feels like it’s lurching from one action set piece to another. That the final act of the movie is essentially set in a headspace, rather than above a threatened metropolis, is a testament to the interiority (not a word that often comes up in Marvel movies) of “Thunderbolts,” a film that finds vivid comic-book imagery to render authentic real-life emotions.

It’s an obvious comparison but it was childbirth,” says Stewart of the film. “I was pregnant for a really long time and then I was screaming bloody murder.”

Stewart in interviews has talked about challenging the myth that men are better suited to directing.“It’s really not fair for people to think it’s hard to make a movie insofar as you need to know things before going into it. There are technical directors, but, Jesus Christ, you hire a crew. You just have a perspective and trust it,” she said. “My inexperience made this movie.”Yuknavitch’s memoir recounts her surviving sexual abuse by her father and how she sought refuge in competitive swimming and, later, writing.

While Stewart expressed doubts that she offered much to her film’s star, Imogen Poots, in terms of useful direction, the actor disagrees.“Kristen is incredibly present but at the same has this ability, like a plant or something, to pick up on a slight shift in the atmosphere where it’s like: ‘Wait a minute,’” Poots said, causing Stewart to laugh. “There is this insane brain at play and it’s a skill set that comes in the form of an intense curiosity.”
