Mr. McCandles, this is Bella.
00:05
Hello, Bella.
00:06
Oh!
00:07
Oh.
00:08
Bud.

Bjorgsen and I started talking about poor things in 2017.
00:19
The idea of having a brain that is brand new,
00:21
what would that be?
00:22
[MUSIC PLAYING]
00:24
Where did she come from?
00:26
She's an experiment.
00:27
She's progressing at an accelerated pace.
00:32
I was blown away by Bella, by the character.
00:35
I don't think I've ever seen or read anyone like that.
00:39
Working with Emma, that's the reason this film for me
00:41
was so exciting to make.
00:43
Bella.
00:44
Out.
00:45
[GUNSHOT]
00:46
My character, the doctor, sees her as an experiment,
00:49
which at some point reaches a crisis.
00:51
I can't let you go.
00:52
If you do not, Bella shall turn rotten with hate.
00:56
[SCREAMING]
00:58
I must set forth into waters.
01:00
[MUSIC PLAYING]
01:03
That you could have the kind of mind that isn't
01:06
taught to be a certain way, I think that's very inspiring.
01:10
All of these things that women are conditioned
01:13
a whole lifetime through do not apply to her.
01:16
You will confine yourself to three phrases--
01:19
how marvelous, delighted, and how do they make
01:22
the pastry so crisp, yes?
01:24
You get some very funny situations.
01:26
[GUNSHOT]
01:27
[GASPS]
01:29
Oh.
01:30
[MUSIC PLAYING]
01:32
Emma is unbelievable.
01:33
The development of the brain, it's such a fine line,
01:37
especially as we shoot things out of order.
01:39
And she's really tracking the progression,
01:42
not just with her voice, but also with her body.
01:44
It's an incredibly challenging part.
01:45
It's probably the hardest part I've ever played.
01:47
A woman plotting her course to freedom.
01:50
How delightful.
01:53
It's a huge leap for her forward.
01:55
That's incredible to witness.
01:56
I don't know how this could have been made without her.
02:00
I wanted to play Bella because it felt like acceptance
02:03
of what it is to be a woman, what it is to be free,
02:06
what it is to be confident, and just a little bit [BLEEP] up.
02:12
We will need less of your tongue in the future,
02:14
but overall most agreeable.
02:16
It just felt like the perfect combination of all of that.
