Maria Bello on Haiti, Her Best Picture Preferences, and The Yellow Handkerchief
You just do it for you?
I just do it for me. I do it because I'm moved by something and I'm moved by a character. How a movie turns out is not my business. I can't control it -- it's like life. You can make certain choices, but in the end, you can't control it. It just sort of goes, and are you going to go with it? Are you going to go with the flow and experience it? Or are you going to be afraid and step back and enjoy it?
You said how much you like a "raw" film. The Yellow Handkerchief isn't exactly that.
No, the controversy of The Yellow Handkerchief is in its gentleness. It's such a quiet movie, and there's so much unsaid. It's about the beauty of these characters peeling the onion and unraveling and becoming themselves and healing themselves in each other.
What about the upcoming Beautiful Boy, which you're starring in opposite Michael Sheen? That certainly sounds raw.
What do you know about Beautiful Boy? What do you know that it's about?
That your character's son has committed a mass shooting, and you're dealing with the aftermath?
Right. It's a very intense movie. I just shot it a couple months ago with Michael Sheen, here in LA. Three weeks. It made me fall in love with acting again! It's a beautiful script and such an emotional story about these parents whose son goes through a Columbine-type shooting. It's about their relationship really, how it falls apart and coming together and what that means.
You're an Oscar voter. Any preferences you can convey?
There were quite a few movies I liked this year, but Avatar, I was so blown away by. I wept in the theater a lot during that movie! I thought it was incredible -- thought it was one of the best things I'd seen in a long time.
Was there anything you were hoping would get nominated that didn't?
Robin Wright Penn for The Private Lives of Pippa Lee.
I can tell you take that responsibility of being an Oscar voter seriously.
I do. I've never been a big film watcher, but since I got into the Academy two years ago, I try to watch every single thing that I get. I think everyone deserves a fair shake.
