欢迎大家 Well welcome everybody and
在我把问题交给你们之前 before I throw open to everybody here
我有一个问题想问todd和制作人phyllis I just got a general question Which i guess it is probably for you Phyllis and Todd and maybe the producers
我确信所有人对这个改编都有一定了解，故事发生的年代和地点位于20世纪50年代的英国 I'm sure everybody would have a view on this which is adaptations are very much tend to be of the era which they made as much as the era in which they were Britain.
对于现在来说50年代充满着吸引力 So This is a story from the 50s ah...we see in Britain in period but that has to be a particular fascination for now.
我认为之所以电影有如此魅力与其时间的选择密切相关 I think or particular relevance for this
Wow...
众人乐... um ahahaha
Umm.. i’m sorry i would..U know.
为什么你认为这部作品的出现恰到好处？为什么它正是最适合的时机进行拍摄 Why do u think that particular story now would be the right,was to be right time to film?
至于我嘛，就拍摄的时机而言，其实由liz来回答会更合适 Well,as to me ,that’s a better question for Liz perhaps. in terms of getting it made right now i think.
当其他事情都是顺其自然时，这更像是随机应变。 When things are made as much a product,it varies in circumstance,
但就作品本身而言，我认为这就是一个纯粹的爱情故事。 Um but in terms of the piece itself,what i would say it is eh. This is a rude of a love story.
Is that um
而对于爱情故事来说，无论何时都是恰当的时机。 And love story is always,there is always the right time for love stories.
除此之外，对于这个发生在两个女人间的交织着情感与背叛的爱情故事来说这正是最恰当的时机 um..Beyond that perhaps Todd have something, maybe it’s the right time for a love story between two women which betrayed just as that.
这并不是一个简单的爱情故事阐述着普通而常见的现象 Rather than the sort of an unusual phenomenon just a the love story
是的，这个故事可能发生在任何人身上， Yes um i think that because it could be anyone,
我们不必纠结于这两个女人过去各自发生了什么，这是不同寻常的一点 that we don't call attention necessarily to the fact that they are two women in the way that maybe where use to see such stories perhaps,makes it a little different.
我认为即使这个角色塑造于5年或10年之前 I think even if this film had been made five, ten years ago,
the um
呈现出来的效果也应该是一样的 i think it would have been even it would be exactly the same,
我本认为这会变得更富政治意义 i think it would have to be more political,
在电影里出现的山水景色，围绕在人物对话和两具胴体间的交髯时周围的美景都显得十分前卫 i think that landscape around the conversation around same sex relationship which is sort of advanced,
在许多国家，当然不是所有地方 well in a lot of countries not necessary all the countries around the world
你知道这部电影并不是代表每一个人 um but I you know I think its it doesn’t have to represent or stand for everyone,
我认为所有事物都围绕在卡罗尔和特里莎的爱情上而不是一些政治问题性别问题 i think for the universe sanity is about the love story comes for rather than the sort of political gender.
um
所有爱情故事都离不开外界的阻挠，世俗的看法成为爱情的壁垒，阻止了爱人倾其所有投入到爱情中。 And all the love story i think it need that obstacle the social obstacle the barrier that keeps lovers from having full wish feelings for each other,
然而使人们想象到西方文化里两者冲破重重桎梏勇敢说爱是多么困难也变得愈发具有挑战性 And sometimes increasing become harder and harder who imagine for western life why do people couldn’t be together
这就是为什么我认为卡罗尔这个爱情故事 That’s why i think love story like Carol
同样，当我们想起断背山也有同样感触 And particularly also when we remembered the Brokeback Moutain such as reservation of the (u know)
因为两者设定的故事发生的地点和年代都能引人深思 the excitement of JORA that because that set in the time and place.
我的意思是如果失去了特别的时间地点，即使是罗密欧和朱丽叶的故事也不会精彩绝伦 i mean Romeo and Juliet wouldn’t be in such a wonderful play if one wasn’t in particular
因为它具有更多的道德含义，揭露了社会问题 Become more morality,stories about social issues.
对于Elizabeth和Christine来说，赶在5月之前完工是否有什么重要意义？ And in terms of Elizabeth and in terms of Christine and in terms of getting it in May,was the time significant in any way?
是的，《卡罗尔》是一部让我疯狂着迷的作品，在座的每一位都知道这是一段很长的路。 Yes, i mean it’s something i’m getting obsessed with for many many years,and it’s everyone on the table knows that it’s been a long road
Phyllis和我最初一块合作， Phyllis and i first worked together,
然后我们和Christine为HBO拍摄了一部《哈里斯夫人》，接着Phyllis提出是时候该我参与进来了。 she again with Christine film called Mrs.Harris which we did for HBO,and Phyllis mentioned it to me that it’s the time would i get involved.
最开始并没有成效，并不是产权的问题，而是人力物力的配置出错了。 i mean it didn’t get work,the rights are available,it wasn’t the right configuration.
我发现当有什么事让制作人心烦懊恼时，最终它也会找上自己。 but i find that the producer when something get under your skin And it just keeps coming back to u,
然后我下定决心选择了正确的那个剧本并在五月完成了拍摄。 That u ,i just had the determination that i was going to the right book and i get it in May
当我最终偶然发现，我猜是在10年前那段旅程里， And when i finally happen to i guess it’s about a ten years’ journey
她首先向我提出： for that u first mentioned to me
我知道Phyllis很久以前写的那本书作为脚本被修改了。 that i knew that the book Phyllis had written a version a long time ago for the script that has changed .
实质上她和Todd合作，但我回来找Phyllis说：“看，我拿到这本书了，我们就拍这个吧。” Substantially she works with Todd and but i,u know when i back to Phyllis and said look! i’ve got the book ,let’s do this.
然后Phyllis说我做不了，这对我来说太痛苦了，它会让我失望的。 And Phyllis said i can’t it’s been too painful to me ,it’ll be too many disappointments.
然后我对她说， and i just said
不管你做还是不做，我都做定了。我就要做这个， You with me or you without me or without me.anyway i’m doing it,i’m doing this,
我已经完全沉迷于这部作品了. i’m incredible obsessed in this film.
幸运的是她还是被我拉上了贼船。 and luckily she came on board.
然后拍摄《卡罗尔》成为了一项完美的项目，一开始我们就有最好的团队，我和Christine是有着30年交情的好朋友和合作者。 And then u know it’s a project just found the most for me perfect that team comes to me was on board at the beginning as Carol and then Christine and i go back was almost 30 years have been great friends and collaborators.
我们每天至少要交流一次，不管是工作上还是生活上， And we talked to each other at least once a day and everything in our professional,personal life
这也成为了拍摄电影的过程中一种特别的对话，对于拍摄进程很有好处。 and there is one particular conversation we were both the mouning take to our project.
我不是导演的料，Christine不擅长演戏。而Todd则弥补了我俩所有的短处 and i was director less and Christine was actor less,and Todd was brought up,
我们一团乱麻的时候，她说那我们就交给Todd吧！ She was just like well that sounds like let’s send it to Todd
立竿见影，似乎48小时之内，我们就已经步入了拍片的正轨了。 and within 48 hours ,we were on the course to make this film.
后来鲁尼也加入了我们，这三年时间这成为了一段难以置信的最美妙的旅程 and Rooney came on board and you know here we are 3 years later and that it was just the most incredible journey.
感谢上帝，最终我们把作品呈现到了荧幕上，我实在倍感自豪 that thankfully had the end on the screen i could not be more proud of.
这真的要归功于Todd和Phyllis and that really is.. you know thats Todd and Phyllis.
and Cate and Rooney
(主持人)：好的，如果你有问题就请举手示意 Right well, if u like to put hands up，if u got the question right away here,thanks
你好，我是劳拉，我看到这是一段基于一本由女性执笔的小说，关于女人本性的奇妙旅程 Hi, i’m Lora,and that’s such a journey in femininity based a book by a woman,
通过这两位女性和其身上各自的特点 Staring to woman,surrounding the two women have each other.
就Cate本身而言， And To Cate produces,
此次拍摄是否能被视为自己的一个突破？对于直人世界来说， do u see it as a breakthrough and i mean to straight,
你认为自己能否在未来的发展中促进同性恋文化并展现其特点呢？ and do u think that will prompt more features of this come to future.
um
每次我拍新片都能引发一个有趣而复杂的议题， I mean every time this is an interesting complex comment that rose play screen ,
人们都会问：啊，你是否觉得又突破了自己？你还会尝试更多其他的吗等等， someone says do u think is it a breakthrough,do u means this gonna be more,
每年都是同样的对话 the same we saying it every year find ourselves in the same conversation.
然而这的确具有非凡的意义， This somehow it’s remarkable
我认为Carol是一个伟大的女性角色， I think there is a swath of a great roles
她必将对女性带来深远的影响， for women and certainly the sway
也必将对今后荧屏上女性角色的诠释带来深刻的影响。 (u know) the wonderful female performance.
我认为是时候从Carol学到更多了 And i think it’s just time to get more of it,really.
（主持人）：还有问题问Todd吗？And what else for Todd?
恩，下一个 Ok next questions.
谢谢，想问cate 一个问题 Thank you,A question for Cate
如果你不介意的话 You don’t mind if i ask you.
你此前有过一段非常动人的演说 Is you have that wonderful speech when you said
你说孩子是最让人惊叹的礼物 a child is most breathtaking gift
如此动人的话，是否源自于 which is a wonderful line
你本人是一位母亲 is that somthing you can really related to as a mother
所以能说出这样的肺腑之言呢 Did that come from the heart i guess
对不起我还不知道你是谁 sorry we don't know who you are
不好意思 soner bonate sorry Soner Bonate
你谁啊 Who are you
我是不是该走了 不好意思 我来自simon attitude 杂志 Shall i leave now sorry Simon Attitude Magazine
是的 Yes
haha...
我不知道这个问题是否恰当 I don't know the question
你知道 时机 是个非常有意思的词 if i may..you know the moment is very interesting term
尤其是对同志权利而言 the moment is very interesting term for LGBT rights ..this gay marriages
像是同性婚姻 但是在印度 but it is also India
俄罗斯这样的国家 同性恋还是被 and Russian effectively baning homosexuality
有没有什么小组在会议上说 Would anyone on the panel to comment on board
他们希望人们从这部电影中收获些什么 they would hope people would take from this film
实际上有一件事 Actually one thing
在现在来说让我觉得 about the time being now
尤其兴奋的是 I think has been particularly exciting is that
这部电影早在两年前 This film is getting distribution in countries
就被散步到一些国家 while even two years ago
一些听起来不太可能的国家 that would be impossible
例如土耳其 Turkey being an example and
土耳其的发布人打电话 the Turkey distributors rang and just said
他们打心眼里 from the bottom of their heart
认为这部电影对他们意义重大 said that means so much to them that
他们发放这部电影 并且它真的 they can release this film
会有一定的影响 and it really will have impact
和可能性 你知道 and possibly um you know
去唤起社会的改变 engender social change and
态度 attitudes towards same-sexual relationships or same sex marriages
我认为俄罗斯是很困难 i mean its tough in Russia
而且我们也不能把这部电影买到中国 and in china you know we can not sell this film there
I我确定他们会有一些地下组织 i'm sure it will have underground
危险的地下发布组织 and dangerous distribution
但是它可以 um but it can
我希望它可以带起一些改变 and i hope will make difference
那将会是非常有意义的 thats kinda of a extraordinary thing
在那个 that was a
纽约电影节的粉丝见面会上 i attended in New York film and there was a Chinese women
一个中国女人她说 She said in China
她们只要看到预告里的 All it takes women looking at the trailer
Rooney和Cate with Cate and Rooney
就会立马被掰弯了 and they immediately wanna turned gay
所以我们就说 那太好了 so we were like awesome
我们将会有上亿个 we have billions of new chinese lesbian
多么激动人心啊 How gorgeous
无论如何 Anyway eh
掰弯她们 Converts
好的 Ok yes
你好，我是来自XX杂志的Jormash Hello Jerry Thomas XXX magazine.
我想请问Rooney和Cate， Question for Rooney and Cate
这部电影十分精彩，特别是我看到了你们俩在电影中擦出的火花 i enjoyed the wonderful screen,chemistry and film between two of you.
你们能谈谈作为演员是怎样在那段特定的时间地点下对彼此产生感觉，就像发生了化学反应一样。 Could you talk a little bit about how u developed the screen chemistry as actress.
还有就是这部电影是否想呈现更多关于美国的元素 and set in a period of time show to more things about America.
宝贝你来讲讲吧（秀恩爱！） People(you come,sweet heart)
人们对这个总是很感兴趣， yeah people keep asking about this i means
我认为这种化学反应是无法人为捏造的，在现实生活中也是如此 my opinion is that chemistry isn't something u can create very much in the same way of real life
如果你对某人有感觉或你不喜欢某人,你都无法假装做出相反的反应。 you either have chemistry with someone or u don’t u can’t
也许导演可以让你摆出某种姿态表现地你喜欢她或不喜欢， i means a directors can create it in pose
但如果没有真情实感，这其实也是徒劳的 but it’s not something u can work on either u have or u don’t.
我感到十分幸运因为我很容易就对Cate产生了感觉 i mean i feel lucky and it was easy for me to feel chemistry to her(to Cate).
因为你知道她实在迷人 Only because u know she is,u know Cate is..
我在电影中所扮演的角色也是全身心爱着她， My character is much of the film just sort of all of this woman
所以我也加强了这种体现 (likewise) and numerous with her that was very easy for me to embody.
同样我们在电影拍摄中也十分注重这种感觉， We also use the chemistry felt to her,
而我们的反应剂可是取之不竭用之不断 we shot the whole film in chemistry so stocking.
但这两个角色实际上是十分独立的， But also I mean that was so the both characters do they quite isolated
不仅是爱的方式上还是她们各自的生活圈子和习惯 um..Not only because..um..you know..their feelings for one in another set them apart from the world that which their habit.
你知道她们有着较大的年龄差距 U know that gap on their ages and u know that.
所以她们经历了一段很长的路才把对彼此的爱如火山般爆发出来 So they go through a lot of process that they feel in the volcanic feeling in the independent to one another.
坦然说她们终于在一起了让我长舒一口气啊，实在不容易 So frankly it was a relief to do the sort of things that i finally we get to ,be together so actually u know... yeah
但回溯到20世纪50年代，对于她们自己来讲 but in terms of thinking yourself backing into the 1950s
人物的对话和时代的限制都和今时今日有着很大的不同 I mean it is what is the most difficult to come to terms with in terms of you know the different outlook that would be from today If you think in terms of these constrains
Cate你继续说吧 Well i knows she was Well Cate is going to say.
我最近读了一封由一个中国女人写于15世纪的信， I read a letter recently written by a woman in china who is in the 1400s
她丈夫是一位贵族，这封信就在他的墓穴里，在他的身旁 whose husband is a noble man perished and this letter was found with his body he was in tomb.
从这封信传递出的强烈的爱和感情让人动容， And the passion in this letter
她是一个怀孕的女人， she was pregnant with their child
我感觉这封信似乎是昨日才完笔。 i felt it was written yesterday
所以爱是没有时间界限的，不能因为她是个来自50年代的女子腰上紧束丝带就认为这份爱有什么不同。 and its sense somehow people fall in love in the fifties because they wearing girdles
她们也许和我们现在的认知有些差异但这部电影挖掘的是没有时间限定和人性深处的爱。 They don’t feel in the same things we feel and it all about finding the timeless nature that the deeply humanly internal side of falling in love.
当你真正爱上一个人的时候， i mean i was mis-joking about Romeo and Juliet but really i mean that is is When you falling in love
那是一种旁人无法体会的感受，你会为了爱而失控，不计危险。 it is no one else's experience what you experiencing is dangerous you out of control
这是你会渴望的惊慌和恐惧，你知道为什么会心跳加速，但无论如何也无法动摇你所向往的爱情。 It is 'if you' you know Its kinda sort of panic and um you know and fear your heart ..thats right ..your heart literally beats faster
and I mean that doesn't change whether you wearing the coats at all
you know whether you wearing a..you know..a jeans jacket
他是剥光了自己才发现这条真理的。 so it is easier to get naked but you know it is its finding that connection
你好，我是英国国家报纸的Guss，/NHello My name is Scott Pears
刚才导演提到这是一个关于坚强女人的盛宴。 the festival director Claire Stewart said this is the festival of strong women
Rooney和Cate你们本人是坚强的女人吗？ Rooney and Cate you two both strong women yourselves
什么意思？ What does that means
我是说你认为什么才算是一个坚强的女人。 i’m gonna ask u what do u think a strong woman means.
我不知道你在问什么 i dont know i ask u,
坚强具体指什么？ what do you mean when you said strong
我是引用之前克莱尔的话， I'm quoting claire’s words
这部电影是“女权主义的盛宴”。 the festival director of feminism
克莱尔你当时说那个是想表达什么？ Claire what did you mean I think it is short-hands like to say women are luminous
我不知道呢 i don't really know what that means
嗯，可能是。。。。。。 Em..it’s probably means catch shows for...(i don’t know)
那内个是什么意思 What is that catch-all for?
是为了电影的叙事性吗 Driving a narrative
我认为是和你早前说的关于人们总问你在各种电影中扮演的那些叹为观止的角色和总在尝试新角色相关的事情。 I think it kinda go through what you would say earlier that everyone ask that question u know there are too incredible parts in there u think it’s changing i think..
我认为这就是坚强女人的定义， Thats what they mean by strong women
因为我们在扮演角色时必须完全入戏，而该过程就体现了一些关于坚强的东西。 She is like ..cause we have fully realized that parts in the movie that somehow strong.
好吧 Right
但我们就是普通女人 for really it should just be normal
也许我该谢谢你的夸奖 I might to say thank you
我认为问题在于电影暗示了关于性别的话题， i think the problem is that it’s suggest the gender
因为她们只代表着极小部分人群 that because this.. these are less represented people although they occupied over half of the population
社会对同性恋话题有自己的议程安排，还有很长的路要走，所以他们有义务扮演更加坚强和充满勇气的角色。 and they have responsibility to be strong and courageous and courageous the roles they pick
我想你可以看到两位演员为了演艺事业而做出的选择， and i think what you see in the work of both of these actors nd choices they made for their carriers,
她们就想扮演一个社会人。 they interested in playing human beings
他们的生命围绕着挑战，弱点和进一步探索。 who are follow of universal..you know..challenges the weakness ,exploitation.
他们能够充分使用作为演员的影响力。 that they're capable of abuse as characters as well as subjugation.
所以人们能从很多方面都感受到演员的影响力 So the whole gamut is available to the.. in many ways
传统上来看，我只是一个导演，and I means the tradition of directors that I greatly admire
我个人十分钦佩女人的世界能反映出更多的东西 feels that women’s lives reflected even more range of experience.
因为我们很容易发现自己活在限制中 because of the constrains they often find themselves living under
但现在人们都不想被贴上“坚强女人”的标签 and sort of the idea the strong women is kinda of type that we wanna buzz out that one as well
不想表现得自己很坚强 I'll pick you up and show you how strong
I'm sorry I asked
不不不，我不是这个意思 No, no no
这并不是大家不想关注的问题， it's been nobady is interested in it it becomes catch-all i think
我只是觉得Carol在电影中的角色有着极为复杂的一面。 complex u know lady in the film perhaps
(主持人在挑人回答问题）
你真是迷人，是要炫耀你的美吗，哈哈，问吧(竟然不给那么好看的记者一个正脸，啊啊啊不开心) oh U r sexy and it’s just showing off thank u Go and then
您是谁呢？ （没回答= _=） and who are you
您的电影大多都很注重体现历史，但这部却非常情绪化，有些不同。 Your film has been so quite focused in history but it’s very emotional and circular
我发现您很难在真实的记录和情感中找到电影的平衡，对此有何评论呢。 i find that it’s hard to your balance gave up with one of these records of the drama with the emotion
大家听得到这个问题吗？ U know it’s..... Do people hear the question?
我猜都听到了(就我没听到(ಥ_ಥ)) i guess they did
对于我来说这是一个纯粹关于电影的问题 Em...for me it’s a film by film issue and question
于我而言，如何表达感情并在作品中体现较高的水准并没有什么奇怪 This film to me is not circyan and it doesn’t have the expression instake and language of the high mality drama
因为这部电影在我的脑海里就是一个美好的爱情故事 it really is ..in my mind it’s very closely to a love story of this film
我们如何记住一个爱情故事，如何从中得到启发以及如何对此交换意见 and how they function how much point of view is how we remember great love stories
也许我们会对电影中的某个角色感到恼怒，但通常他们在这段感情中也是脆弱的 Or we angered with a certain character Usually they are much vulnerable the character and the relationship
我们也同样关注到Carol在这段感情中占据着主导地位 And we are so interested about Carol is that chiefs
这份爱开始于Terrise工作时偶然被Carol吸引目光，并通过她的眼睛来打量Carol it begins when were working and looking at Carol through Terrise’s eyes,
在影片的最后， and by the end of the film
两人身上都发生了极其惊人的变化 a lot of change that both of the women are tremendous changes
当Carol极为珍视年轻的Terrise和她们的生活时 And then it’s Carol who evaluate the extraordinary value this young woman and their life
她罕见地主动回来并邀请Terrise走入她的生活 And what that meant is rare and that is she comes back and invites Terrise into her life
但Terrise毫无疑问已经受到了伤害和折磨， But of course Terrise,because she is weathered
这种感觉让她开始学会自我防卫，我们也完全能够理解，因为这会让人成长 u know,pained and developed the defenses like we all do,as we grow up
她不再是我们从前认识的那个人了 its no longer that same person And that sort of u know
所以这就存在她们不会最终走到一起的可能性 so you left at the end with a possibility hat they have a shot
她们的确变了很多 but they also changed a lot
我认为这是个酸甜苦辣交织的关于女性文化复杂的故事 I think that was so bitter sweeting complicated about the weather feminism
(主持人):请您稍微等一下，麦克风正在递过来 can you just wait the microphone just coming
sorry
叽里呱啦.(什么鬼！） ...india... Jiligualajiligualabi
很感谢您在电影中呈现出的这两个女性角色 i’ll thank u for the right portraits of women in the movies
我想知道在这部电影中两个角色精彩的演出 eh ..but i want to know Directing this movie with these two wonderful characters
是否使您发现了一些您曾经不知道的关于女人的事情，那种爱和激情 Did you just cover something that you didn't know about women,the love the passion......the vulnerability of the women or not
我知道了很多关于女人间做爱的知识(笑喷一大片) I discovered the women have sex with each other (hahahahha)
我不太确定，也不知道它看起来是什么样子 i had no idea and did not know with that comprise itself look like
I did not what that..
um...can't compress itself up look like
No i think
I mean I think eh
i am not sure if i learned ..eh..
what i learned was that
both of these actors
along the line i was talking about before
about shifting point of view
that really great actors understand also and
have acute interested in the narrative language of the film
and where the perspective where the viewer located
and what that also means is modulating
um there..there access at times
because Carol begins as the object to desire for Therese
and yeah
all of the dramatic conflicts reside in carol's life
and so Cate had to navigate the fact that
she's been seen through the eyes of these character
But really..all the big issue and big events
and big conflicts of the story reside in her story
and then
and then that changes and
we can access to carol by the end of the film
Carol is the one looking through the window
and Therese in the world occupied her own station in life
having grown up, having changed
you know ..that means the both of these actors
had to sort of..eh..modulated and tempered their performances accordingly in the story
and we are shooting out of sequence
under tremendous.. you know
under a little budget with constraints
so that knowledge and awareness was remarkable to me
i keep seeing that being confirmed in the editing room
by the choices they were making.. you know..as performance
but something it was really interesting that todd did
Which I found very useful
it is.. um.. the camera so great at being objective or
subjectives and you were very clear about whose perspectives
the camera was catching
and so its.. you were very clear
who um yeah
so.. so you
We were very aware of um..
what piece of information to reveal in shot
Which is incredibly useful..um..to be able to handles that
It really did throw a particular challenge for you
that idea of the shifting perspectives
um
no i mean like
i don't ..it was something we talked a lot about during rehearsal
while we were shooting ..it was
I did not really think about..about that much
i mean..When me and Cate we were lucky enough
to have.. um ..few scenes
we had few scenes were..you know
there were several pages long
and we got just to do this long takes of it
there were just incredible things to shoot
because like Cate said we spend a lot of the film apart and
we came together and got to do these scenes
there was so much..
so many silent moment
and so much nuance
there are so much to respond to
and listen to and
um..
That was really exciting as a actor to be able to ..
to be able to do that
and to be able to play with the silence more
i mean..usually that is not..the case
hello
...Francaise...
The question for Cate
so you've been presented a little bit
like this time of the festival
you coming with two film
you will receive BFI fellowship
Does ..Do you have any comments about that
or do you..
so you are the incarnation of this strong women
like it was speaking about
um look..
I've had embarrassment
reaches last couple of years.. you know.. to work with Todd again
um eh
and to make choose
which is ..which is very interesting piece of recent history
um ..you know
that doesn't often happen within 19 month period
so you know.. you grasp with those things
with both hands with wonderful things
just ..someone just remind me last night
is you hang on tightly and let it go lately
so the wonderful thing about filming is that happens
you know.. this labour of love we all made together
you know when it happened
18 months ago
and so you do have a chance to sort of let it go
and the great thing about..you know..festivals
and having you know ..obviously you know
Rooney was on a Telluride and um..and Kan
well very different festivals
so they going to NewYork and here
its you played a very different audiences
so always.. you still filled with the same trepidations in opening night
and how's your audience is going to receive it that doesn't go away
its funny cause we..actually the fun has been screen so few times
as this is our fourth or fifth
yeah fourth or fifth festival but um..
we always have the question
and you gonna stay and watch the film which is of course
you know... we've seen it so many times
because we've been with it from the day
all the way through post
but the problem is everytime you think
no no it is fine i have seen it
it is so exciting to be a part of the audience response to the movie
and it does very slightly each time
but you.. you know every time
the screen.. i felt
like you feel so nervous
Will people get it
Will they like it
and you kinda just watch it every time
you can't help for watch it just be a part of way
that the film is received
Hello
..Spanish...
you know in love is
someone has been told
someone received and someone gave
so in your movie
it is a question to Rooney and Cate
who is receiving and who is giving more
towards the character
you mean I do sexually or
no
no about like experience
and cauze we talk a lot about shifting and growing up
so what you think
who take more of this relationship
I didn't realize there was some
but i don't know ..i mean.. i think
a lot relationship hopefully there is a equal amount of giving and receiving going on
I mean ..I definitely feel
As though Therese got so much from carol you know
i like just thinking Carol got something from her as well
yeah absolutely
I mean.. i think it is that wondeful moment in dance
isn't it
you feel someone alight
and i mean.. i think it is feeling of falling in love isn't it
it is like Rooney was saying about chemistry
is a ..it ignites between you thats why you feel out of control
because i think you lose sense of your own
the boundary of your own skin
i mean that was you truly connected with someone
well this.. had been my experience
this film
is precisely that it leaves in that state
that sort of dynamic state of flux
that you don't quite know where is going
so there is no..you know..sort of neat tidying up
and saying this is..this person has
this person has nailed that person devoted
it is.. it is not like that at all
I know you
Hi it is Aili from TV guide
this is a question for anyone
i was wondering
at what point in the process of decision made called movie Carol
when it is so much about both women
and the book its called that
Well i think it has been some um..given or taken some question on this side
I called the carol from the beginning
um
because Pat Highsmith changed the title of the novel herself
when she republished it
and also I quite like this sort of strange obsessed nature of
calling it by someone's name
then there were other discussion i think
along away
the book was originally called the price of salt
Phyllis do you know why it was
I do this is from the horse's smell
I actually don't thats why im asking
Pat highsmith was obsessed with the story of lost wife
that is exactly where is come from
Does anyone need me to talk about lost wife
Ok
and last caution has already been taken
so
Hey there
TS from the sun
this is question for Cate
when you were promoting the film eariler this year
there was a interview got taking our context
you had people spoken about you own eh
sexuality
how did that feel
Are you still have to correct people and
Were you worrying about rejecting the idea kinda
too strongly giving the film
journalist love commenting on journalist
its just..you know
if i was playing someone who had an affaire
i think there'd been a moment to cause
before a journalist says how many affairs did you have
and think about playing an Axe murder
people won't necessary ask me how many people i have murdered
so i ..you know
i probably answered in the way that
i was a bit percisers and
um.. and to someone who was probably a little be literature
and misunderstood that ..i mean.. look ..i don't read it
to be honest ..no offense.. no
eh ..but um.. you know i have been busy and got four kids
and yeah
hello I'm Alicia I'm a freelance
that was a beautiful film congratulation i love it
Todd my question for you
i went to lure Rosenthal's session on Saturday
which talked about casting
um.. and i just want to ask
what makes an actor's type or audition stand out for you
um
yeah ..cause all the parts of beautiful casts and
and how did those people attract your attention
you know there is a lot of key people director casted
who don't audition
you based on their prior work
and that's
that's fine i mean i..
in the case of Rooney
i had watched the work she had been doing
you know from the beginning with such amazement
and I've been so impressed by that body of work
and i still feel that was something i never see her do
but i knew that
what she brought to the other performance
would um..
would provides somthing really suprising to all of us
and absolutely um..accurate
and i had some sense of the chemistry might be just there as well
um but..
you know
i think one thing i have learned ..to be honest
it is that sometimes
when you look at audition tapes
you have to be prepared for the fact this..
some of them you love
and some of them you go oh
we can work.. i can work with that
and we can develop this further
sometimes that is..
that is what you gonna get
for that person you kinda of have to be prepare for the fact
that under the strange unnature circumstances about audition
which is a horrifying process for anybody
um you know..
sometimes you'll see people you don't know
let's said
we found some gay player we..
we really embraced shooting insenstive
and it provided so..so much to this film
eh everything from the patina of the sort of soil
streets the colors the..
um.. we shoot on street with
with the existing signage from
that could play from that earlier fifties
i mean it was a really a city intact
but one of things i just love so much
with the people who are both actress and actors in the film that we cast
and the lawyer for instance
and women in the party who Cate talks to
and so fantastic
and i just feel like they brought such a unique and specific
you know ..quality to the film
we really are pound that we found them
and we shoot them
thanks for all your questions and
Christine Elizabeth Cate Todd
Rooney and Phyllis thank you very much indeed
thank you
