The deadline: How to describe a hypothesis Splitsville?
Dakota JohnsonMy God, it is an interesting tone because I think, outside the bats, it reads like a comedy, but it is a very unique and unique comedy for two couples and difficult dynamics of their relationships individually, then their relationships are intertwined with each other. It is related to the complexities of love.
The deadline: So, Carrie begins to accommodate your character Jolie and her partner Paul in an open relationship. Are we talking about the love triangle?
JohnsonIt is less than the love triangle and more than one love experience. It is arrogant, coded, incest, and everything that is very loved in the end, but it was good at a lot.
The deadline: I know that many people believe that non -monojami is the future and this is the development of the place we go to in terms of how human relations remain. What are your thoughts on the topics of this movie?
JohnsonI think it is an interesting topic because I do not feel that there is one correct way of love, or one correct way to live in your life, and I think it is allowed for human beings to develop. I think it is rare to hear about the presence of people in a partnership or a similar relationship, “Yes, then we grow together and separately, which is very healthy and enjoyable.” It is rare to happen. I don’t think there is any correct way. I feel, if you want to have multiple relationships in your life, great. If you really want to deepen with one person, great. If you want each of these at the same time, wonderful. Why not, really? But also scary, do you know?

The deadline: I think people are trying to find a new way and it is a very interesting topic.
Johnson: But is it a new way? Because I feel that we can look at this in a really positive way, or I say that someone says he wants to explore each of themselves and want to have the largest possible number of experiences, and whatever it was in this short life. Or, is, as humanity, we started developing into people who do not tolerate each other and do not tolerate the faults of each other and do not heal or grow? Often I see that relationships explode when or both of them are in a phase of enormous challenges, which leads to tremendous growth. But if you just separate all the time, or if you love, “You are absorbing now, so I will go and be with my other friend.” How did I grow and how do I really love you? But I don’t know. I don’t know the answer. I think everything works, or He can.

The deadline: As my mother will say, “They are horses for training courses”, and this means both of them and anything that suits you. How did you come to the movie and why was the correct TEATIME production project?
Johnson: So it came in fact a long time before I expect to do so. It was brought to Teatime and I was really busy. I don’t remember what was happening, but we may have been released Dadio It was just a really crazy time. Then I came back to play Jolie.
First of all, I met with Mike and Kyle since the ages, it was not a complete idea, then they went far and did a lot of work. They are just great and wonderful partners together in being very funny, but also strange and full at the same time. Adria was signed, and it was logical. We really like to work with movie makers who have an interesting new sound. I don’t know if you have seen their movie, climbing? I was like, “How is this movie not huge?” It is very good. Mike, he has such a way out. He has a technician right in this way, as well as understanding comic rhythms, and these things do not always meet. I really felt, and I really like to be in trenches with the people I work with. So the ability to sit with them for a few weeks, go through text and write jokes and make Julia a strange person, and give her a different kind of character, I don’t know, it was a great time, I think.

The deadline: What does it mean to be at the Cannes Festival?
JohnsonWell, really, I thought frankly that I would never go to the Cannes Festival. I was like, “there should be some strange curse on me as I will never do it.”
The deadline: It is definitely a scene. Many crowds are waiting outside hotels.
Johnson: So, I will not wander around Bikini? This is really what I was conceived.
The deadline: it will be crazy than that.
JohnsonThere is a very magical thing … I remember the first time I went to the Venice. Every time I go to the gun, it is more like a magic time because I only think that there is something unbearable in the air around the film festivals where this is art and excitement about what made films people, and you can really feel that there is. And then, of course, magic is very beautiful and luxurious. But for me, it is really about all these other artists and being around people like, “Oh, I have just seen this.” This is very fun for me. It is very exciting.
The deadline: With Michael and Kyle, you seem to have great cooperation in building your personality. How was the process?
Johnson: Yes, we did, and then it was fun to the group. I think they are used to working with each other so that they have a very specific rhythm. It is a very specific dance they do. I would like to go with both of them, but in a healthy way, I think.
The deadline: Only from the creative process, do you mean?
Johnson: Yes. At least I am honest in that.

The deadline: Yes. Not everyone tells you that he is brave in those fighting moments, but this can often be part of the creative process.
Johnson: Yes. I was on collections where the Nitty Gritty leads to a great movie, then I was in collections where there is no more absorbing it.
The deadline: Where did you release the movie and for how long?
JohnsonWe shot him in Montreal and I want to say it was 25 days. It was very short.
The deadline: I am very excited as well Materialism. How was the work with Seline Song on it?
JohnsonMy God, that was really magical, magical and magical time. Talk about not fighting at all. We were from one mind. It was very beautiful, really, really beautiful. I think, because of her background as a theater writer, she is really in space with you, and I felt that she was behind the scenes with me. If this is the snapshot, you will be here on the ground directly, just outside the frame. So, it was very close. It is very poetic in writing it and in the film industry. She is really a real real movie maker, and it is surprising to see it. It is rare and I think it is amazing to be like, “Oh, you will make a lot of really amazing things in this life.” I felt very lucky to be there. The photography in New York was just magical. And yes, I am excited about people to watch this movie.

The deadline: How was the work with Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans?
JohnsonChris and Pedro were great. Both are very funny men. Both make me really laugh. I really made Chris laugh, whom I love so much. Pedro and I were friends before, so he was able to accommodate all day. Because when you are in place, you are like, “Oh, I am in the cinema prison and I cannot do anything, and I cannot see anyone while I live in the group.” Therefore, it was very fun to have a friend there. But they are both, I think, really cool in this movie.

The deadline: Then next year, we will see fact You are also an executive domination.
Johnson: Yes, we have just finished filming. I didn’t know what fact It was before the scenario was sent, and it was based on the Collin Hoover novel, which I think is very popular. People are really in that.
The deadline: It is very big. She has such huge follow -up.
Johnson: I know. She is also funny. She is a really great person. But yes, it’s Josh Hartnit, Ann Hathaway and me. I mean, it is clear that everyone knows what is going on around the book, but it relates to a ghost writer or writer who goes to end the accounts of this writer because she was in an accident. Therefore, she moves home with her, her husband and son, and then all these strange transformations and turns. It is juice.
