Michelle Williams says that living the events of “Blue Valentine” far from set was not easy.
During a recent appearance on the podcast “Expert in a chair”, Williams said that during a break in the production of “Blue Valentine”, who follows Williams and Ryan Gosling as a married couple in a wading relationship, she and her Costar lived together and practiced for the second part of the film.
“We paused in the shooting. We turned the first part when they are young and in love and everything is going very well,” said Williams. “And then we took a two -week break, and we lived together.”
She continued: “We made these improvisations during the day, honestly, to find ways to bother us and destroy this thing we had done.”
Williams argued that it was a “professional situation” entirely, and more like “office hours”, meeting “nine to five” every day. Although it is not originally in the production calendar, it was suggested that the Costares take a break and live together after having had trouble drawing scenes where their characters were fighting.
“We had so much trouble abandoning the thing we loved,” she recalls. “”[Director] Derek [Cianfrance] It was like: “we have to spoil it, and we have to burn it”. And we made a ceremonial [burn of] Our wedding photo.
Williams explained that Cianfrance would give him first, as well as to Gosling scenarios, then the pair would go to their only to develop them. She then described the experience as “horrible”, adding that he was completely against his instinct for Gosling to hate her.
“I don’t know if someone could work like that again,” said Williams. “You have a team that is pending. You pay people, I mean, it’s such a small film, so, so, a small budget and a small crew, but you take a big time in the middle of the thing.”
