Actress Advocates for Emotional Connection in Filmmaking

Actress Advocates for Emotional Connection in Filmmaking.webp

Los Angeles, February 19 – Hollywood star Margot Robbie says she makes films for fans, rather than critics.

She told Vogue Australia: "I always consider the audience. I've never, ever been on set and thought, 'What are the critics going to think of this?' I ask myself, 'What will the audience feel right now? What will be their emotional response?'

"I just believe you should make movies for the people who are going to buy tickets to see the movies. It's as simple as that."

The actress observed that Emerald Fennell, her director for "Wuthering Heights", has a similar approach to filmmaking, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

The actress said: "I also love working with Emerald, because she always prioritizes an emotional experience over a clever idea.

"She's very smart and she has great ideas, but she's willing to let a clever idea fall by the wayside in order to offer the option that will be most exciting for an audience. And I really appreciate that about her."

Meanwhile, Robbie previously claimed that she was "set up for success" with "Wuthering Heights".

The actress stars alongside Jacob Elordi in the movie, which is loosely inspired by Emily Bronte's 1847 novel of the same name, and Margot feels fortunate to have worked on the "most amazing screenplay".

The Hollywood star told Extra: "The chemistry between us as Cathy and Heathcliff… We were so set up for success, to be honest.

“Like, we had the most amazing screenplay and we had the most incredible designers designing these shots and these sets and these costumes, and you have Emerald there who's so attuned to what can make someone go and gasp, and, you know, it's like we were just given all the ingredients to do something amazing, and all we really needed to do was bring our best as well."
