Twilight

I just wanted to start by saying the the actress was absolutely amazing. She was so believeable that there were moments that I forgot that it was her acting. I just remember the movie ending and suddenly remebering that it was one lady who acted out this entire hour and a half film. There were times when I believed her accent and her posture. It was like she was really Rodney King’s Aunt or the asian woman. It made me think about the following questions that we touched upon in class: To what extent does one have to perform the other in order to understand the other? Can one never fully perform the other because one can never be the other?

I just imagined her sitting there studyign the trancripts, watching the videos, and trying to pick up their mannerisms. Everytime she stutterred a word or got really excited about what she was saying I just pictured the person she was portraying as having those mannerisms as well. I believe the th eperformance helps one th understnd te other to a certain extent. I still feel like one can never fully understand the other because they will never actualy be that person. I do believe however that it is possible to get extremely close to understanding the other.
