The story is familiar: #TessaThompson plays the titled heroine living in 1950s Harlem, torn between following societal expectations, living her dreams of being a television producer, or maintaining a relationship with a talented jazz musician (played by Nnamdi Asomugha). However, to watch its fully lived-in and elegant creation of the 1950s is to imagine it existing in the time period it’s set. Had Hollywood been more inclusive, this could have been a starring vehicle for #DorothyDandridge. . Thompson herself is often compared to the great Black actresses of the past: Diahann Carroll, Lena Horne, and the aforementioned Dandridge. But in talking to Thompson she’s shocked to hear it. “This is the first time I’m hearing this,” she laughingly toldIndieWire. “I’m flattered; I stand on the shoulders of so many giants.” Thompson said a huge reference point for her performance was Caroll in the 1961 feature “Paris Blues.” . Historically, the storytelling formula of a woman forced to choose between life and love has been the realm of white women. Thompson said it compelled her to look at her own past as a film lover. “When you look at Hollywood iconography, certainly for me growing up I was very accustomed to following a white protagonist,” she said. . One of the biggest impediments to stories like “Sylvie’s Love,” according to Thompson, is the misguided belief that they “don’t travel,” or access audiences that aren’t the same racial makeup as the characters. “If I can, as a child, follow a white protagonist and feel inside of the narrative, then it should stand that we can follow good stories and see ourselves in them,” she said. Thompson doesn’t want the message of the movie to get wrapped up too heavily in diversity discussions, but she hopes the film will foster a push towards telling stories about lives that otherwise wouldn’t necessarily be discussed. . #artmadebywomen」2月17日 5時56分
