“People will make the presumptions they want to make. If you start to defend anything, it becomes, ‘Methinks the lady doth protest too much,’ ” the actor said, when asked if he thought moviegoers would draw real-life inferences from his work. “I mean, have you seen ‘Shame?’ ” he quipped, referring to his 2011 portrayal of a sex addict. Vikander, sitting next to him, let loose a sharp laugh.

Vikander is sensational as the heart-shot mother desperate to raise a child of her own and Fassbender is equally good as her conscience stricken husband, eager to give his wife everything she dreams of yet fearful of what's unforeseen. You rarely see the kind of chemistry that is apparent in every scene between these two gifted actors, who have found a vehicle for their talents that their own presence improves on.

"I might have been curious about actors’ lives when I was growing up. That’s human nature. We’re all curious about a lot of things. But my curiosity didn’t obligate them to tell me."

" Here I just want to talk about her formidable talent and the passion she has for her work, cause some things, well, I prefer to keep them for the two of us. I think it's good to protect what you love."
~Grazia Italia translated by Carmen for PF
 
Nothing like doing to joint interview to say ur private and wont be talking about ur relationship :lol::lol::lol::lol:
Well they are most likely contractually obligated to sit down and do press for the movie. They keep talking about their personal life followed by declarations of privacy which is odd. I guess Michael has to do what he has to do in order to sell the movie.
 
Yes..
history. Every single second he's on screen, you can't help but analyze every single feature of his face and character's mannerisms. An incredibly subdued performance, but one I am happy to call one of Fassy's best.

@nathanielr: @dancindanonfilm @chrisvfeil it’s gooood
@chrisvfeil: @nathanielr @dancindanonfilm especially enjoyed Vikander and what Cianfrance brought to the table

@FlixChatter: @samanthaklein It's a real tearjerker, so bring tissues! But Fassy n Vikander were superb.
@joekeyes: Loved everything about The Light Between Oceans. Absorbing and excellent in every way. About what it means to forgive, and forgive yourself.
@tanyafosterblog: Screened The Light Between Oceans tonight. Get your kleenex ready! So good! #LightBetweenOceans
@AaronPeck: As a parent and child of adoption, THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS is especially difficult to watch.
@AaronPeck: @ByCommonConsent Yeah. It's rough. Well made, but I could relate a little too much to all sides of the story.
@AdamRolseth: THE LIGHT BETWEEN OCEANS is the most emotionally-draining movie I've seen in 2016 by a LONG shot.


this. super great interview with Derek Cianfrace about TLBO, his love for real things and allergy to "fake stories" (he wants the shooting to be a life experience), how he convinced the actors to spend time there (and how in the end they didn't want to leave).
Interesting anecdotes. He explains which is the real deep meaning of the movie, related to human and mother nature.
He also talked about how he thought of Michael while he was reading the script (he was a huge huge fan of his previous work and he was curious to know what his heart was like), and then about how he adored Alicia when they suggested her.
He was blown away by the two of them together and he was sure about their chemistry.
What an absolute genius. I'm so glad Michael worked with him; he always works with the best.

Great interview. He's very passionate about his work. I like the part about Michael and Alicia raising the bar for each other.

I'm expecting mediocre reviews, but in this case, it's not suspicious. Venice wouldn't have taken the film without a review embargo hovering around the time that it premieres there (Sept. 1). And I have heard that the embargo lifts in the US on Aug. 31.
I was actually surprised that it was selected with that release date. A review embargo is completely understandable,but everything is "suspicious" these days.. I expect some criticism about the second half of the film (even if I've actually read different thoughts) but very good personal reviews.

I keep forgetting about Venice. I have seen the movie and surprised that it got selected for Venice. Probably more to do with the prestige of people associated with the movie rather than the movie itself.
Maybe other people thought it was good enough to be selected.

Well they are most likely contractually obligated to sit down and do press for the movie. They keep talking about their personal life followed by declarations of privacy which is odd. I guess Michael has to do what he has to do in order to sell the movie.
Well,journalists are asking about it. They're just repeating that they want to keep certain things between them (LA Times,EW,Grazia).
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: When you’re playing lovers on screen and you begin to have feelings for your costar off screen, do you have to check yourself — like to be sure it isn’t a trick of your brain?

MICHAEL FASSBENDER: It wasn’t the first time in a movie either of us had played somebody who is falling in love. There is an element of separation there. If I’m playing a murderer, I don’t go out and start murdering people.

ALICIA VIKANDER: And I think we’ve made a clear statement that we keep certain things just between us. It was very easy to unite, but that’s quite personal.

And I respect that. I’m not interested in asking all about your personal lives.

VIKANDER: [Laughing] Sure!

FASSBENDER: [Laughing] Sure, buddy!

But here’s what I’m interested in. You’ve really managed to keep your private lives private. A lot of people in the spotlight don’t.

FASSBENDER: But that’s other people. Each to their own. I’m not going to talk about my private life with a total stranger, unless I feel like I need to. Why would I? I don’t.
And I doubt people are going to see the film because they have been interviewed by EW and LA Times.
