Найруулагч Мэгги Жилленхаал “Flesh Impact” киноны гол дүрд Дакота Жонсоныг сонгохдоо гадаад төрх бус, дүр дүрийн дотоод ертөнцийг илэрхийлэх чадварыг чухалчилсан гэдгээ илэрхийлжээ.
Пусан хотноо болсон олон улсын кино наадмын үеэр найруулагч Мэгги Жилленхаал шинэ төсөлдөө Дакота Жонсон болон ахмад жүжигчин Эллен Бөрстин нарыг Мэрилин Монрогийн өөр өөр хувилбаруудыг бүтээхээр сонгосон тухайгаа ярьсан байна. Тэрээр эхэндээ Дакота Жонсоныг алдарт жүжигчин Мэрилин Монротой төсгүй тул дүрд тохирох эсэхэд эргэлзэж байжээ. Гэвч удалгүй дүрийн гадаад төрхөөс илүүтэйгээр жүжигчний сэтгэл зүй болон дотоод ертөнцийг нээх нь чухал болохыг ойлгосон гэв.
Мэгги Жилленхаал Мэрилин Монрог олон нийтийн дунд хэдийнэ тодорхой хэвшмэл дүр төрхтэй болсон хэмээн үзэж, тэрхүү хийсвэр дүр төрхөөс илүүтэйгээр бодит хүнийг гаргахыг зорьжээ. Тэрээр өмнө нь “The Lost Daughter” кинонд Дакота Жонсонтой хамтран ажиллаж байсан туршлагадаа үндэслэн энэхүү шийдвэрийг гаргасан байна.
Мөн найруулагч 90 гаруй настай жүжигчин Эллен Бөрстинтэй хамтран ажиллаж байгаадаа сэтгэл хангалуун байгаагаа илэрхийлсэн юм. Тэрээр ахмад жүжигчний мэргэжлийн өндөр ур чадвар болон бүтээлч байдал нь киноны өгүүлэмжид чухал нөлөө үзүүлнэ гэдгийг онцолжээ.

Dakota Johnson is taking on the role of Marilyn Monroe in Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Flesh Impact. The actress does not closely resemble the Hollywood icon, but that did not stop Gyllenhaal from casting her for the role.
Speaking to the press at the Busan International Film Festival, Gyllenhaal discussed her decision to cast Johnson and Ellen Burstyn as different versions of Marilyn Monroe. According to Deadline, the filmmaker approached both actresses because she believed they would appreciate the opportunity to take on something unexpected. Gyllenhaal also drew on her own experience as an actress when deciding how to work with the performers.
Gyllenhaal had previously worked with Johnson on The Lost Daughter but initially struggled to imagine her as Monroe while writing Flesh Impact. She attempted to push Johnson out of her mind because “she doesn’t look anything like Marilyn.” Eventually, Gyllenhaal realized that the actress did not need to resemble Monroe for the role and asked herself, “Who cares?”
Why looking like Marilyn Monroe became irrelevant
Gyllenhaal’s change in thinking came from reconsidering what she wanted Johnson to convey as Monroe. Instead of recreating Marilyn Monroe’s recognizable features, she wanted to explore the character’s internal life. Gyllenhaal added, “I realized what she looks like is much less important than what’s happening inside her heart and her mind.” The director sees Monroe as a figure whose public image has become nearly inseparable from her identity. She said, “The fact is Marilyn Monroe has been made into such an icon and such a kind of pretend fantasy person.”
Gyllenhaal similarly wanted Burstyn to take on something different. She praised the opportunity to work with the veteran actress, whose career spans more than five decades. She said, “I mean, it was like a really expert level; expertise that comes with precision, but also includes something wild beyond what we can imagine, especially when we’re talking about an actress in her 90s.”
Johnson’s casting reflects Gyllenhaal’s interest in looking past Monroe’s familiar Hollywood image. She cared more about exploring the person behind the icon than finding someone who looked exactly like her.
