Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:04,129 --> 00:00:06,172
I've felt like an underdog
my whole life.
2
00:00:07,007 --> 00:00:08,842
But I was never tortured by it.
3
00:00:10,844 --> 00:00:13,930
I wasn't defined by gender.
I wasn't defined by color.
4
00:00:14,639 --> 00:00:16,641
I could be anything I wanted to be.
5
00:00:18,101 --> 00:00:20,770
I wasn't really interested
in being a princess.
6
00:00:21,980 --> 00:00:24,441
I didn't want to wear
the princess costume for Halloween.
7
00:00:24,441 --> 00:00:26,151
I was always the ninja.
8
00:00:26,151 --> 00:00:29,320
I was either a white ninja
or a black ninja or a red ninja.
9
00:00:30,071 --> 00:00:34,159
It was like every Halloween,
in a succession of eight Halloweens,
10
00:00:34,993 --> 00:00:36,161
I was just a ninja.
11
00:00:37,370 --> 00:00:40,749
{\an8}I loved action movies and science fiction.
12
00:00:41,624 --> 00:00:46,671
I loved icons like Whoopi Goldberg
and Sigourney Weaver,
13
00:00:47,464 --> 00:00:48,840
who at the time,
14
00:00:49,466 --> 00:00:51,468
were the only females that I knew of
15
00:00:51,468 --> 00:00:55,305
that were driving
the action-driven storylines.
16
00:00:55,305 --> 00:00:56,806
Come on!
17
00:00:57,390 --> 00:00:59,559
And I felt like
I could see myself in them.
18
00:01:06,357 --> 00:01:08,943
I'm unstoppable
19
00:01:08,943 --> 00:01:12,072
I'm a Porsche with no brakes
20
00:01:12,072 --> 00:01:14,115
I'm invincible
21
00:01:14,574 --> 00:01:17,577
Yeah, I win every single game
22
00:01:17,577 --> 00:01:19,662
I'm so powerful
23
00:01:20,121 --> 00:01:22,916
I don't need batteries to play
24
00:01:22,916 --> 00:01:25,293
I'm so confident
25
00:01:25,627 --> 00:01:28,671
Yeah, I'm unstoppable today
26
00:01:28,671 --> 00:01:33,635
Unstoppable today
Unstoppable today
27
00:01:34,552 --> 00:01:36,721
Unstoppable today
28
00:01:36,721 --> 00:01:39,390
I'm unstoppable today
29
00:01:52,946 --> 00:01:57,242
Gamora is the most dangerous assassin
in the universe.
30
00:01:59,828 --> 00:02:01,538
And she's a killing machine.
31
00:02:07,252 --> 00:02:09,754
{\an8}With a heart of gold
and a true sense of justice.
32
00:02:13,633 --> 00:02:18,179
{\an8}Gamora is incredibly gifted
in the art of violence.
33
00:02:24,644 --> 00:02:26,396
She can make you fall in love with her
34
00:02:26,396 --> 00:02:28,398
and slice your throat
in the same movement,
35
00:02:28,398 --> 00:02:29,691
which is pretty awesome.
36
00:02:31,943 --> 00:02:32,944
No!
37
00:02:32,944 --> 00:02:34,279
What the hell?
38
00:02:34,279 --> 00:02:35,780
I know who you are, Peter Quill!
39
00:02:36,447 --> 00:02:38,700
But as we peel
the onion back further
40
00:02:38,700 --> 00:02:42,120
through the course of Guardians 1
and into Guardians 2
41
00:02:42,829 --> 00:02:47,083
and into the Avengers films,
you realize that underneath it all, she's,
42
00:02:47,792 --> 00:02:50,753
in her own way,
on a quest to find out who she is.
43
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,260
When Thanos took my homeworld,
he killed my parents in front of me.
44
00:02:58,553 --> 00:03:00,889
The one thing that the Guardians
each have in common is
45
00:03:00,889 --> 00:03:03,349
that they have experienced loss.
46
00:03:03,892 --> 00:03:06,186
Ronan murdered my wife, Ovette,
47
00:03:07,312 --> 00:03:08,855
and my daughter, Camaria.
48
00:03:09,272 --> 00:03:10,732
Drax has lost his family.
49
00:03:11,691 --> 00:03:12,901
So did Nebula.
50
00:03:13,568 --> 00:03:15,236
Quill has lost his mother.
51
00:03:15,653 --> 00:03:17,238
Groot lost his planet.
52
00:03:18,323 --> 00:03:21,743
Rocket has been experimented
on like a lab rat.
53
00:03:21,743 --> 00:03:24,204
And Gamora lost her family.
54
00:03:30,126 --> 00:03:31,127
Mother!
55
00:03:31,127 --> 00:03:34,589
The real moral spine of the team
has always been Gamora.
56
00:03:34,589 --> 00:03:39,636
{\an8}Because she's the one who has
the backstory of having been raised
57
00:03:39,636 --> 00:03:43,181
in such a incredibly
traumatic and hurtful way.
58
00:03:52,565 --> 00:03:56,402
Gamora. Surgically modified
and trained as a living weapon.
59
00:03:56,402 --> 00:03:59,113
The adopted daughter
of the Mad Titan, Thanos.
60
00:04:00,156 --> 00:04:01,908
Gamora was raised by Thanos
61
00:04:03,326 --> 00:04:07,163
and has a tragic backstory
of pain and misery.
62
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:11,584
What's wrong, little one?
63
00:04:11,584 --> 00:04:13,044
Where's my mother?
64
00:04:14,087 --> 00:04:17,590
As a child, Thanos kills her parents
in front of her,
65
00:04:17,590 --> 00:04:19,842
which is an incredibly traumatic thing.
66
00:04:20,301 --> 00:04:22,887
- Uh-uh.
67
00:04:23,429 --> 00:04:25,473
{\an8}Thanos kind of adopted her
68
00:04:25,598 --> 00:04:27,892
{\an8}in a kidnapping way.
69
00:04:28,017 --> 00:04:29,435
She's a lone wolf,
70
00:04:29,435 --> 00:04:32,480
so she had to be strong
at a very young age.
71
00:04:33,106 --> 00:04:37,360
So, she grows up
not really having trust in people.
72
00:04:39,696 --> 00:04:41,990
I wanted Gamora to carry a kind of pain,
73
00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:46,953
a kind of melancholy that comes
with the loss of a loved one.
74
00:04:48,830 --> 00:04:50,206
That was relatable to me.
75
00:04:50,206 --> 00:04:51,457
Mother!
76
00:04:51,457 --> 00:04:55,336
That was why I wanted
to say yes to playing Gamora.
77
00:04:58,673 --> 00:05:01,509
My sisters and I went through
a lot of hardships growing up.
78
00:05:02,468 --> 00:05:05,888
We were victims of loss
because my father had passed away
79
00:05:05,888 --> 00:05:07,390
when we were very, very young,
80
00:05:09,183 --> 00:05:11,519
and we needed outlets
to deal with our grief.
81
00:05:12,020 --> 00:05:14,480
So, my older sister began painting.
82
00:05:14,856 --> 00:05:17,900
My younger sister became a great debater.
83
00:05:19,694 --> 00:05:20,945
And I started dancing.
84
00:05:27,744 --> 00:05:30,538
Dance gave me the ability
to communicate emotion
85
00:05:31,748 --> 00:05:36,127
when words were not around,
when words were not available.
86
00:05:39,255 --> 00:05:42,050
Dance, you're able to interpret loss.
87
00:05:46,471 --> 00:05:49,682
It gave me the ability
to imagine the unimaginable.
88
00:05:50,266 --> 00:05:54,687
It was a blank canvas
in a vast dark space,
89
00:05:55,730 --> 00:05:57,857
where I can be anything.
90
00:05:59,484 --> 00:06:00,735
As I grew up,
91
00:06:00,735 --> 00:06:04,030
dancing gave me an outlet
to deal with the fact that
92
00:06:04,030 --> 00:06:06,449
I was being massively bullied at school.
93
00:06:07,784 --> 00:06:09,494
It became like my weapon.
94
00:06:11,162 --> 00:06:14,415
And I feel that my background
as a dancer shaped who I am,
95
00:06:14,415 --> 00:06:19,128
not only as a person, but also,
it gave me the ability to pursue
96
00:06:19,128 --> 00:06:22,632
a very, you know,
great career, in action movies.
97
00:06:23,132 --> 00:06:27,136
I wouldn't be
as experienced in action movies,
98
00:06:27,136 --> 00:06:32,016
or even in science fiction movies,
had I not had a foundation in dance.
99
00:06:33,351 --> 00:06:37,772
Dance gave me the ability
to approach characters
100
00:06:37,772 --> 00:06:42,443
also from a physical point,
not just an internal one.
101
00:06:59,752 --> 00:07:01,587
Zoe was my number-one choice
for Gamora
102
00:07:01,587 --> 00:07:04,507
because she was a fantastic action hero
103
00:07:04,507 --> 00:07:06,259
and that's what we needed,
104
00:07:06,259 --> 00:07:11,889
{\an8}was somebody who had her depth
and had the magic in the eyes.
105
00:07:11,889 --> 00:07:13,766
{\an8}Which is what I look for in actors.
106
00:07:13,766 --> 00:07:17,270
{\an8}Somebody who you can look at their eyes
and they always feel present.
107
00:07:21,315 --> 00:07:22,859
There's always a lot of me
108
00:07:22,859 --> 00:07:26,195
that I unconsciously bleed
into the characters that I play.
109
00:07:29,282 --> 00:07:31,659
When I was putting Gamora together,
110
00:07:32,452 --> 00:07:34,662
I knew she was gonna be doing
a lot of action scenes
111
00:07:34,662 --> 00:07:37,665
and I just didn't want her to look like
the typical martial artist.
112
00:07:42,587 --> 00:07:44,338
And I thought, "What can I add to her?"
113
00:07:46,174 --> 00:07:49,093
The sword is her weapon of choice.
It's a very classic
114
00:07:49,093 --> 00:07:51,179
and old form of fighting.
115
00:07:51,888 --> 00:07:53,473
So, I remember thinking,
116
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:57,268
I want her to move in a way
that she's inviting her enemy
117
00:07:57,268 --> 00:08:01,564
to come towards her like the way
a bullfighter invites the bull to come.
118
00:08:03,566 --> 00:08:06,777
The way that bullfighters move
is quite graceful.
119
00:08:07,695 --> 00:08:10,114
It's a dance that he does,
you know, with the bull.
120
00:08:10,656 --> 00:08:11,741
It's a duel.
121
00:08:13,034 --> 00:08:17,288
And I thought, "Oh, my God,
this is Gamora. This is who she is."
122
00:08:30,384 --> 00:08:31,511
Nebula.
123
00:08:46,442 --> 00:08:51,614
I don't think that I would be here today
if it wasn't for my sisters.
124
00:08:53,616 --> 00:08:56,536
We grew up with the kind of solidarity
125
00:08:56,536 --> 00:09:00,915
that one needs to have
in order to survive adversity.
126
00:09:01,874 --> 00:09:03,167
We were always together
127
00:09:03,167 --> 00:09:07,046
and we didn't like each other
at times,
128
00:09:07,505 --> 00:09:08,881
but we loved each other.
129
00:09:10,591 --> 00:09:14,220
As Gamora, I'm confronted
with a sister, Nebula,
130
00:09:14,220 --> 00:09:17,473
who is completely
the opposite of who I am.
131
00:09:18,724 --> 00:09:20,560
I'll be free of these shackles
soon enough,
132
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:23,229
and I will kill you, I swear.
133
00:09:24,855 --> 00:09:26,774
{\an8}Nebula's extremely complicated.
134
00:09:26,774 --> 00:09:28,901
{\an8}There's a lot going on there, emotionally.
135
00:09:29,694 --> 00:09:32,071
And I'd say that's not totally
typical for a superhero.
136
00:09:32,572 --> 00:09:35,616
I'm a daughter of Thanos. Just like you.
137
00:09:36,409 --> 00:09:41,038
Gamora and Nebula are both dealing with,
you know, being brought up
138
00:09:41,038 --> 00:09:47,545
{\an8}by an incredibly abusive
supervillain, Thanos,
139
00:09:51,132 --> 00:09:53,718
who basically took these children
140
00:09:53,718 --> 00:09:58,347
and tried to turn them into warriors
as extensions of his own ego
141
00:09:58,347 --> 00:10:01,267
and was incredibly cruel
throughout the process.
142
00:10:03,185 --> 00:10:07,273
{\an8}As a woman writing
a character like Gamora,
143
00:10:08,524 --> 00:10:11,652
I was channeling
a lot of the sibling rivalry
144
00:10:11,652 --> 00:10:13,821
that I have with my own sibling.
145
00:10:15,114 --> 00:10:18,284
And so one of the things
that I really wanted to explore was
146
00:10:18,284 --> 00:10:22,246
the idea that Nebula and Gamora
were purposely pitted against each other
147
00:10:22,246 --> 00:10:24,415
by this father figure.
148
00:10:25,666 --> 00:10:27,126
Well done, daughter.
149
00:10:27,126 --> 00:10:30,838
Because he knows how powerful they are
and that if they were ever to team up,
150
00:10:30,838 --> 00:10:32,340
they could bring him down.
151
00:10:32,340 --> 00:10:35,343
You alienated
my favorite daughter, Gamora.
152
00:10:37,428 --> 00:10:39,305
He pitted the siblings against each other.
153
00:10:46,562 --> 00:10:50,274
Gamora always won because she was better
at fighting, she was the golden child.
154
00:10:51,692 --> 00:10:54,320
Nebula, I think,
was just so resentful towards that
155
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:55,821
that she took it personally.
156
00:10:55,821 --> 00:10:57,281
Like a personal attack, almost.
157
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:04,789
I have never had any type of experience
where I've had to share the attention
158
00:11:04,789 --> 00:11:06,499
with a sibling or felt overlooked.
159
00:11:06,499 --> 00:11:10,670
And so, I kind of had
to really do my research
160
00:11:10,670 --> 00:11:14,256
and look at sibling relationships
'cause they're so complex.
161
00:11:16,300 --> 00:11:19,553
It was a dream come true to get
to see a fight between two sisters
162
00:11:19,553 --> 00:11:22,431
because in reality,
when I was like seven or eight years old,
163
00:11:22,431 --> 00:11:25,643
fighting with my sisters, in my mind,
that's exactly what it looked like.
164
00:11:32,066 --> 00:11:34,777
Or that's what I wanted
to be doing to them, you know?
165
00:11:37,029 --> 00:11:40,658
But these sisters love each other a lot.
166
00:11:41,742 --> 00:11:43,619
That's why the hate is so strong.
167
00:11:43,619 --> 00:11:48,749
The rage, the anger, is just so evergreen,
especially in Nebula.
168
00:11:49,458 --> 00:11:53,045
As a child, my father would have Gamora
and me battle one another in training.
169
00:11:54,338 --> 00:11:56,048
Every time my sister prevailed...
170
00:11:56,757 --> 00:11:59,218
my father would replace a piece
of me with machinery...
171
00:12:00,177 --> 00:12:02,638
claiming he wanted me to be her equal.
172
00:12:02,638 --> 00:12:03,931
From Nebula's perspective,
173
00:12:03,931 --> 00:12:06,559
I would say that she's extremely angry
at Gamora
174
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,770
and Gamora has purposefully won
all of these battles
175
00:12:09,770 --> 00:12:11,939
every single time
just to make her look worse
176
00:12:11,939 --> 00:12:13,274
in front of her father.
177
00:12:14,191 --> 00:12:18,821
There was a scene between Nebula
and Gamora where they have a big argument
178
00:12:18,821 --> 00:12:20,698
and they're sort
of shouting at each other.
179
00:12:21,490 --> 00:12:23,784
And then,
it becomes emotional all of a sudden.
180
00:12:23,784 --> 00:12:26,746
It takes a quick turn
and you get a little insight
181
00:12:26,746 --> 00:12:29,331
into how Nebula feels towards Gamora.
182
00:12:29,331 --> 00:12:31,417
I don't need you always trying to beat me!
183
00:12:31,417 --> 00:12:34,378
I'm not the one that flew across
the universe 'cause I wanted to win!
184
00:12:34,378 --> 00:12:36,088
Do not tell me what I want.
185
00:12:36,088 --> 00:12:38,632
I don't need to tell you what you want!
It's obvious!
186
00:12:38,632 --> 00:12:41,552
You were the one who wanted to win.
And I just wanted a sister!
187
00:12:42,178 --> 00:12:43,721
And she's suddenly
really vulnerable
188
00:12:43,721 --> 00:12:45,389
and I think Gamora looks at her like,
189
00:12:46,015 --> 00:12:48,434
"Oh, I didn't understand
that about you before,
190
00:12:48,434 --> 00:12:50,227
"but I'm seeing a different side of you."
191
00:12:50,227 --> 00:12:52,605
"You're not just angry,
you're really hurt and fragile."
192
00:12:52,605 --> 00:12:55,107
And that was a breakthrough for them
as sisters.
193
00:12:55,483 --> 00:12:56,567
You were all I had.
194
00:12:58,444 --> 00:13:00,404
But you were the one who needed to win.
195
00:13:02,406 --> 00:13:04,158
Thanos pulled my eye from my head...
196
00:13:05,326 --> 00:13:06,827
and my brain from my skull...
197
00:13:08,454 --> 00:13:10,039
and my arm from my body...
198
00:13:12,082 --> 00:13:13,209
because of you.
199
00:13:14,210 --> 00:13:16,921
That moment when Nebula
looks at Gamora
200
00:13:16,921 --> 00:13:20,758
and tells her that she didn't want to win,
she just wanted a sister.
201
00:13:21,509 --> 00:13:23,385
I think that hits home with Gamora.
202
00:13:25,304 --> 00:13:30,684
And at the end of Guardians 2,
when Gamora hugs Nebula,
203
00:13:33,312 --> 00:13:34,396
and...
204
00:13:36,524 --> 00:13:39,985
Nebula is just sitting there being hugged,
not knowing what...
205
00:13:44,031 --> 00:13:45,032
So weird.
206
00:13:45,574 --> 00:13:48,994
She's just sitting there being hugged
and then Nebula just takes her hand
207
00:13:48,994 --> 00:13:51,288
like this and she just hugs her back.
208
00:13:51,288 --> 00:13:53,791
Just hugs her sister back for a moment,
209
00:13:53,791 --> 00:13:57,545
and that moment to me is so important.
210
00:13:57,545 --> 00:13:59,421
It's just so important, like, to me.
211
00:13:59,797 --> 00:14:03,843
That moment which is only
in a wide frame that we see it
212
00:14:03,843 --> 00:14:06,345
is as momentous
as anything I've ever shot.
213
00:14:07,513 --> 00:14:12,226
Because that is a person
starting to accept love.
214
00:14:12,685 --> 00:14:13,978
You will always be my sister.
215
00:14:16,146 --> 00:14:18,190
Those are amazing scenes.
216
00:14:18,190 --> 00:14:21,026
Those are amazing moments
to experience with someone like Karen.
217
00:14:21,026 --> 00:14:26,448
To build that trust with an actress
on set was amazing because
218
00:14:26,448 --> 00:14:29,827
up until then in my career,
I have very few moments
219
00:14:29,827 --> 00:14:31,453
with female actresses
220
00:14:32,079 --> 00:14:35,291
because I tended to be
the only female actress in a whole cast.
221
00:14:36,166 --> 00:14:38,210
I didn't ask for your help.
222
00:14:38,961 --> 00:14:40,546
And yet, you always need it.
223
00:14:41,171 --> 00:14:43,465
So having someone like Karen play Nebula,
224
00:14:43,465 --> 00:14:45,843
I didn't care if we didn't get
along on camera.
225
00:14:45,843 --> 00:14:49,263
I got to be with a sister off camera
and that was wonderful.
226
00:14:49,972 --> 00:14:51,640
People think that we hate each other.
227
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,434
- We don't. We're so close, look.
- At all.
228
00:14:53,434 --> 00:14:54,643
We're super close.
229
00:14:54,643 --> 00:14:55,811
We look like twins.
230
00:14:56,145 --> 00:14:57,980
Whee!
231
00:14:58,856 --> 00:15:02,026
We've really bonded, I think,
just over playing these sisters
232
00:15:02,026 --> 00:15:03,652
and spending so much time together.
233
00:15:04,987 --> 00:15:08,949
Zoe has been a mentor for me.
She's done more of those big movies.
234
00:15:08,949 --> 00:15:10,367
I was completely new to it
235
00:15:10,367 --> 00:15:13,078
and she took me in under her wing
like her little sister.
236
00:15:13,829 --> 00:15:17,875
I wasn't like a really sporty kid at all.
I was more like a theater nerd.
237
00:15:18,417 --> 00:15:21,629
And so when I signed on,
I was not good at fighting.
238
00:15:21,629 --> 00:15:25,591
It involves a lot of stunts
to play Nebula, so many fight scenes.
239
00:15:26,342 --> 00:15:29,970
I had to train for two months
to lead up to this fight sequence
240
00:15:29,970 --> 00:15:32,181
between Nebula and Gamora,
which was really amazing.
241
00:15:32,181 --> 00:15:35,267
I felt like I was
in action hero boot camp or something.
242
00:15:36,644 --> 00:15:41,690
And Zoe really helped me
with my stunt performance.
243
00:15:43,609 --> 00:15:46,153
I'm really tall and so I, like, hunch,
244
00:15:46,153 --> 00:15:48,989
and she stopped me
from doing that for a start.
245
00:15:49,949 --> 00:15:51,408
And then, she taught me how to run.
246
00:15:51,992 --> 00:15:55,454
So I would also do this weird run
with my fists clenched,
247
00:15:55,454 --> 00:15:58,415
thinking that looked cool,
and she's like, "Open them up."
248
00:16:02,002 --> 00:16:04,046
And she taught me how
to throw a mean punch.
249
00:16:05,047 --> 00:16:07,883
And then, I suddenly
wasn't terrible at fighting anymore.
250
00:16:07,883 --> 00:16:09,593
I was, like, pretty good.
251
00:16:14,098 --> 00:16:15,099
We become sisters.
252
00:16:15,099 --> 00:16:18,519
I feel like we've just had
so many emotional experiences
253
00:16:18,519 --> 00:16:22,648
during these scenes that we can't help
but feel bonded to each other.
254
00:16:23,190 --> 00:16:24,274
We can stop him.
255
00:16:26,568 --> 00:16:29,905
She definitely inspires me
to fight for what I believe in more
256
00:16:29,905 --> 00:16:31,782
as a person and as a performer.
257
00:16:31,782 --> 00:16:33,242
She knows what she wants.
258
00:16:33,242 --> 00:16:36,453
She has her own mind
and she really speaks it.
259
00:16:36,453 --> 00:16:40,165
It's very empowering to watch
and I definitely feel like I've learned
260
00:16:40,165 --> 00:16:42,292
how to conduct myself.
261
00:16:42,292 --> 00:16:43,502
Go!
262
00:16:55,222 --> 00:16:57,891
He's too powerful. I can't!
263
00:16:57,891 --> 00:16:59,893
I believe in you.
264
00:17:04,356 --> 00:17:05,566
Sleep!
265
00:17:10,654 --> 00:17:15,117
I do believe that
Gamora and Nebula feel kindred
266
00:17:15,117 --> 00:17:18,287
to Mantis very, very early on.
267
00:17:18,287 --> 00:17:22,332
The difference between Mantis is
I don't think that Mantis has experienced
268
00:17:22,332 --> 00:17:26,420
the level of violence
that Gamora and Nebula did.
269
00:17:27,504 --> 00:17:29,673
Ego found me
in my larva state.
270
00:17:30,132 --> 00:17:31,717
Orphaned on my home world.
271
00:17:33,218 --> 00:17:36,013
He raised me by hand,
and kept me as his own.
272
00:17:37,222 --> 00:17:39,975
{\an8}The Guardians of the Galaxy movies
are very touching
273
00:17:39,975 --> 00:17:43,103
because it talks about the family
that you choose.
274
00:17:43,103 --> 00:17:44,354
He's our friend.
275
00:17:44,354 --> 00:17:48,233
All any of you do is yell at each other.
You are not friends.
276
00:17:48,233 --> 00:17:51,320
You're right. We're family.
277
00:17:53,197 --> 00:17:54,531
We leave no one behind.
278
00:17:55,657 --> 00:17:59,119
I love how resilient
the female characters are.
279
00:18:00,621 --> 00:18:01,789
I love Karen.
280
00:18:01,789 --> 00:18:04,333
She's so different
from her character in real life.
281
00:18:04,333 --> 00:18:07,419
I would like Nebula to go
to Chuck E. Cheese and take down Thanos.
282
00:18:12,591 --> 00:18:16,512
And Zoe, she's incredible.
283
00:18:16,512 --> 00:18:19,306
I remember going to a Halloween party
284
00:18:19,306 --> 00:18:21,892
{\an8}after Guardians of the Galaxy,
the first one, came out,
285
00:18:22,434 --> 00:18:24,770
{\an8}and I wanted to dress up like Gamora.
286
00:18:24,770 --> 00:18:28,649
So, I bought some
green makeup and a red wig.
287
00:18:29,191 --> 00:18:31,985
I don't know, it didn't look great,
but I wanted to be Gamora.
288
00:18:34,196 --> 00:18:38,117
And then I booked the role of Mantis,
so it's kind of funny.
289
00:18:42,204 --> 00:18:44,331
Like Mantis, I've always felt different
290
00:18:44,331 --> 00:18:47,751
and it's very freeing
to play this kind of character
291
00:18:47,751 --> 00:18:53,298
because I get to be strange, to be weird,
and to go back to being a kid, basically.
292
00:18:54,133 --> 00:18:57,427
My dad was a diplomat
so I traveled a lot when I was a child.
293
00:18:57,928 --> 00:19:03,142
So, that's why I think I got attracted
to escapism and traveling
294
00:19:03,142 --> 00:19:05,269
and never staying in the same place.
295
00:19:05,269 --> 00:19:06,770
That's what I love in movies.
296
00:19:06,770 --> 00:19:12,651
To be, like, taken away and be transported
in this crazy, imaginary world.
297
00:19:13,110 --> 00:19:15,654
Can I pet your puppy? It is adorable.
298
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:17,698
Yes, please.
299
00:19:22,452 --> 00:19:24,621
That is called a practical joke.
300
00:19:28,959 --> 00:19:30,502
I liked it very much.
301
00:19:30,502 --> 00:19:32,880
What I love about
the character of Mantis
302
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,214
is she's an empath.
303
00:19:34,214 --> 00:19:37,593
She has a superpower that
when she touches someone,
304
00:19:37,593 --> 00:19:40,470
she can change
their feelings, their emotions.
305
00:19:42,681 --> 00:19:43,891
Who are you people?
306
00:19:43,891 --> 00:19:46,018
You are scared.
307
00:19:50,439 --> 00:19:53,525
I'm very emotional, too,
so that, I feel that.
308
00:19:53,525 --> 00:19:55,068
I feel the empathy for sure.
309
00:19:58,238 --> 00:20:01,325
That's what you need to connect
with other human beings
310
00:20:01,325 --> 00:20:03,869
and, you know, to be a better person
311
00:20:03,869 --> 00:20:07,956
and caring about others is
something that is very important.
312
00:20:09,333 --> 00:20:11,585
Some people lack empathy for sure.
313
00:20:11,585 --> 00:20:14,671
Some people should be
a little bit more like Mantis, I think.
314
00:20:18,050 --> 00:20:19,176
Sleep.
315
00:20:28,810 --> 00:20:29,811
B-mark.
316
00:20:33,815 --> 00:20:35,192
Quick and efficient.
317
00:20:35,192 --> 00:20:36,652
Yeah. There you go. Cool.
318
00:20:38,153 --> 00:20:40,906
For some of us
that have been doing this for 30 years,
319
00:20:42,574 --> 00:20:44,159
{\an8}I was always the only girl.
320
00:20:44,159 --> 00:20:45,244
{\an8}Always.
321
00:20:45,244 --> 00:20:49,039
{\an8}And I was always the only head
of department for the longest of time.
322
00:20:49,998 --> 00:20:54,002
And I know that if I look at some
of the amazing men
323
00:20:54,711 --> 00:20:57,047
that have carried me through
and taught me,
324
00:20:58,799 --> 00:21:02,844
a lot of them are struggling with the idea
325
00:21:02,844 --> 00:21:06,014
of having more women on set.
326
00:21:06,014 --> 00:21:12,145
But I know that the importance
of that is that we see things
327
00:21:12,980 --> 00:21:14,356
that other people don't.
328
00:21:21,321 --> 00:21:23,532
When you do an action movie,
it's not just you.
329
00:21:23,532 --> 00:21:24,783
It's a team effort.
330
00:21:24,783 --> 00:21:26,201
And, action!
331
00:21:27,786 --> 00:21:30,914
It's your makeup artist.
It's your stunt coordinator.
332
00:21:30,914 --> 00:21:34,584
It's your costume designer.
It's your choreographer.
333
00:21:34,584 --> 00:21:37,212
It's your director. And then, it's you.
334
00:21:37,212 --> 00:21:40,424
So, there's a lot of trust
that happens with one character.
335
00:21:40,424 --> 00:21:42,926
We are passing her around.
336
00:21:44,094 --> 00:21:48,015
{\an8}I'm a makeup artist for Gamora
on Guardians of the Galaxy.
337
00:21:49,057 --> 00:21:52,561
I was department-heading
a movie called Death at a Funeral
338
00:21:52,561 --> 00:21:56,148
and Zoe was the star in the movie
and we hit it off.
339
00:21:56,148 --> 00:22:02,112
We both spoke Spanish and just connected
and became really good friends.
340
00:22:04,698 --> 00:22:07,159
Gamora was not a person,
341
00:22:07,159 --> 00:22:10,579
a human, that you just paint green
and let's go to shoot it.
342
00:22:11,330 --> 00:22:14,666
Green paint over a face with,
you know, regular eyebrows,
343
00:22:14,666 --> 00:22:16,126
it just never looks good.
344
00:22:16,126 --> 00:22:21,673
It was gonna look like Halloween makeup
versus something bigger.
345
00:22:22,341 --> 00:22:24,801
I said, "I think that we should
do special effects."
346
00:22:25,761 --> 00:22:30,265
So, we did the whole mold
of Zoe's face and chest.
347
00:22:31,058 --> 00:22:35,145
The special effects makeup department
started working on prosthetic pieces.
348
00:22:35,145 --> 00:22:38,440
We covered the eyebrows
with prosthetic makeup.
349
00:22:41,109 --> 00:22:43,278
It was challenging
because we were trying
350
00:22:43,278 --> 00:22:47,282
to find the right green
that wouldn't put people off,
351
00:22:47,282 --> 00:22:50,619
but was also vibrant and kind of youthful.
352
00:22:50,619 --> 00:22:52,704
That way, she doesn't look like a reptile.
353
00:22:52,704 --> 00:22:56,833
She doesn't look so alien-looking
that you can't really find
354
00:22:56,833 --> 00:22:58,585
any kind of connection with her.
355
00:23:03,340 --> 00:23:05,425
It was a fun, but very arduous, you know,
356
00:23:05,425 --> 00:23:08,512
process that we remember
every step of the way.
357
00:23:13,683 --> 00:23:14,684
Tails mark.
358
00:23:14,684 --> 00:23:16,978
We're pushing more than ever
359
00:23:16,978 --> 00:23:20,857
in the last decade that
I've been at Marvel to really find,
360
00:23:21,233 --> 00:23:23,485
{\an8}you know,
female crew members behind the scene,
361
00:23:23,485 --> 00:23:26,363
{\an8}not just in front,
but really behind the scenes.
362
00:23:27,614 --> 00:23:31,326
I come from the indie film world
in New York as a production designer.
363
00:23:31,326 --> 00:23:34,830
There's a ceiling when it comes to being
a woman trying to get these jobs.
364
00:23:34,830 --> 00:23:39,501
Very few women get a chance to work
in this giant franchise arena.
365
00:23:39,501 --> 00:23:43,797
Especially in department head positions
and especially in production design.
366
00:23:43,797 --> 00:23:45,924
{\an8}And my agent called me and said,
367
00:23:45,924 --> 00:23:49,428
{\an8}"James Gunn would like to meet with you
for Guardians of the Galaxy 3."
368
00:23:50,345 --> 00:23:52,347
And we had a great meeting.
369
00:23:52,347 --> 00:23:54,391
Then my agent called later and said,
370
00:23:54,391 --> 00:23:56,435
James would like
to have me come on board,
371
00:23:56,435 --> 00:23:58,395
and I literally fell off my chair.
372
00:23:58,395 --> 00:24:00,981
And my world changed. My career changed.
373
00:24:00,981 --> 00:24:03,150
Everything really changed
with that phone call.
374
00:24:03,775 --> 00:24:07,195
And by James deciding to take
a leap on somebody
375
00:24:07,195 --> 00:24:10,949
who didn't have that usual experience
is really what kind of
376
00:24:10,949 --> 00:24:12,993
changed the landscape for my career,
377
00:24:12,993 --> 00:24:15,120
but I think, also,
very much for art departments
378
00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:18,039
and for these other departments
looking to be more inclusive.
379
00:24:24,129 --> 00:24:26,798
My first day on set was crazy.
380
00:24:26,798 --> 00:24:32,053
{\an8}I saw Zoe in full wardrobe and costume
and I was just in awe
381
00:24:32,053 --> 00:24:35,056
of how cool she looked,
and her body language,
382
00:24:35,056 --> 00:24:37,100
and how she completely owned the set.
383
00:24:37,100 --> 00:24:38,685
I was like, "Wow! She's incredible."
384
00:24:38,685 --> 00:24:41,229
It's like super intimidating
for eight-year-old me,
385
00:24:41,229 --> 00:24:43,231
but she was so welcoming.
386
00:24:43,231 --> 00:24:45,817
And she was so warm and so sweet.
387
00:24:45,817 --> 00:24:49,237
She's just such a motivating person
to be around.
388
00:24:50,947 --> 00:24:53,033
She's very strong, and she's very smart,
389
00:24:53,033 --> 00:24:54,409
and I'm like that, too.
390
00:24:56,286 --> 00:24:59,789
I grew up in a house that always loved
everything comic books,
391
00:24:59,789 --> 00:25:02,083
everything Marvel, everything superheroes.
392
00:25:02,083 --> 00:25:05,128
I think it's cool to see yourself
in your favorite characters.
393
00:25:05,128 --> 00:25:10,258
I love Gamora and she's inspiring
because she never gives up.
394
00:25:11,343 --> 00:25:15,222
I think that's an important message
because if you are a young girl at home,
395
00:25:15,222 --> 00:25:19,017
it kind of gives you hope that you can
see the light at the end of the tunnel
396
00:25:19,017 --> 00:25:20,644
and that you can become stronger.
397
00:25:33,532 --> 00:25:37,536
As actors, we have the power
to really inspire people.
398
00:25:38,537 --> 00:25:40,205
We do. We have that power.
399
00:25:40,205 --> 00:25:47,128
Every day, I see a woman come up to me
and say that my character inspires them.
400
00:25:47,128 --> 00:25:48,755
My character keeps them going.
401
00:25:48,755 --> 00:25:50,507
They were my character for Halloween.
402
00:25:50,507 --> 00:25:52,551
They dressed their daughter
as my character.
403
00:25:53,468 --> 00:25:55,428
I never take any of that for granted.
404
00:25:55,428 --> 00:25:58,640
That kind of visibility
gives them purpose.
405
00:25:59,724 --> 00:26:02,936
It makes them feel seen and heard
and celebrated.
406
00:26:06,273 --> 00:26:11,361
My name is Priscilla Frederick-Loomis,
and my favorite superhero
407
00:26:11,361 --> 00:26:14,781
{\an8}in the MCU Universe is Gamora.
408
00:26:15,532 --> 00:26:20,203
Gamora, to me,
is just the ultimate badass.
409
00:26:20,203 --> 00:26:23,915
I automatically connected
with her fierceness
410
00:26:23,915 --> 00:26:28,670
and just her overall confidence
and her struggles.
411
00:26:28,670 --> 00:26:31,256
She doesn't ever back down to a challenge
412
00:26:32,048 --> 00:26:35,343
and I hope that that's something I can be.
413
00:26:36,761 --> 00:26:39,514
I became a professional athlete in 2014
414
00:26:39,973 --> 00:26:43,602
{\an8}and I represented the country
of Antigua and Barbuda.
415
00:26:44,019 --> 00:26:46,062
{\an8}And I went to the Olympics,
416
00:26:46,062 --> 00:26:48,898
{\an8}but didn't get to win
the Olympic gold medal.
417
00:26:49,524 --> 00:26:52,861
And then I was able
to see myself in Gamora.
418
00:26:53,570 --> 00:26:59,409
I saw her struggle and so I realized
that I can be a superhero
419
00:26:59,409 --> 00:27:03,204
even though I've had a really rough past.
420
00:27:03,913 --> 00:27:06,791
Growing up, it was just
my mom, my sister and I.
421
00:27:07,292 --> 00:27:11,546
And so, seeing that Gamora
was on this journey
422
00:27:11,546 --> 00:27:14,633
kind of on her own
and kind of ripped away from her family
423
00:27:15,550 --> 00:27:17,135
kind of made sense, you know?
424
00:27:17,135 --> 00:27:21,890
I have a very kind of distant relationship
with my father
425
00:27:21,890 --> 00:27:23,850
and I saw that I could overcome that.
426
00:27:24,476 --> 00:27:27,896
And so, I started
my own organization called
427
00:27:27,896 --> 00:27:30,065
the Priscilla E. Frederick Foundation.
428
00:27:30,065 --> 00:27:34,194
Our main goal is to assist
single-parent households.
429
00:27:34,903 --> 00:27:40,742
Connecting them to financial resources,
housing, whatever they need.
430
00:27:40,742 --> 00:27:46,289
I wanted to make sure that I did something
that affected the world in a positive way.
431
00:27:47,624 --> 00:27:52,170
Hopefully, I can be that person
that helps the Gamoras of the world
432
00:27:52,712 --> 00:27:55,632
build that bridge
and get them where they want to be.
433
00:28:07,227 --> 00:28:10,563
I love uniquely
superpowered characters.
434
00:28:10,563 --> 00:28:12,941
I think, you know,
it's important to tell stories
435
00:28:12,941 --> 00:28:14,984
about all sorts
of different types of people.
436
00:28:15,443 --> 00:28:16,569
I love Nebula
437
00:28:16,569 --> 00:28:19,906
{\an8}because she really was
a really bad, bad character
438
00:28:19,906 --> 00:28:23,785
{\an8}in the first movie,
and we get to see her slowly come around.
439
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,123
She has a change of heart and she becomes
a Guardian of the Galaxy down the road.
440
00:28:28,832 --> 00:28:31,292
And I think she's a superhero
in many people's lives.
441
00:28:35,630 --> 00:28:36,923
My name's Angel Giuffria.
442
00:28:36,923 --> 00:28:39,884
{\an8}I was born missing the lower half
of my left arm.
443
00:28:39,884 --> 00:28:42,053
{\an8}It's called a congenital limb difference.
444
00:28:42,637 --> 00:28:45,598
Seeing Nebula onscreen
in Guardians of the Galaxy
445
00:28:45,598 --> 00:28:48,143
being someone who has a prosthesis.
446
00:28:48,143 --> 00:28:51,396
At one point,
she chops off her hand to do something.
447
00:28:53,690 --> 00:28:57,277
And I was like, "That's me!"
Like, I take my hand off all the time.
448
00:28:58,153 --> 00:29:01,489
So, it's been really exciting
to see such a strong
449
00:29:01,489 --> 00:29:05,869
and powerful and badass character
that, you know,
450
00:29:05,869 --> 00:29:08,121
really pushes and fights
for what she believes in,
451
00:29:08,121 --> 00:29:10,165
because that's something
I've done forever.
452
00:29:10,874 --> 00:29:13,209
Growing up as a kid
with a limb difference,
453
00:29:13,209 --> 00:29:16,379
I think, was difficult
because I felt like I had
454
00:29:16,379 --> 00:29:19,382
to kind of constantly fight to fit in.
455
00:29:19,382 --> 00:29:21,384
I kind of had to develop a thick skin.
456
00:29:21,384 --> 00:29:23,553
I had to develop
a pretty good sense of humor,
457
00:29:23,553 --> 00:29:28,433
just to show people that, you know,
having any type of physical difference,
458
00:29:28,433 --> 00:29:30,018
you're still the same as everybody.
459
00:29:30,018 --> 00:29:33,980
So, I think being different
my whole life has
460
00:29:33,980 --> 00:29:35,982
led me on this path of being able to say,
461
00:29:35,982 --> 00:29:38,902
like, let me show you
why different is so cool.
462
00:29:41,404 --> 00:29:45,950
Nebula definitely has a lot of anger
and I guess I do resonate with that a bit
463
00:29:45,950 --> 00:29:50,413
because it was so frustrating to
have to convince people that I was okay.
464
00:29:50,413 --> 00:29:53,208
You know, that being different wasn't bad.
465
00:29:53,208 --> 00:29:56,127
I didn't understand why
the default was that I was wrong,
466
00:29:56,127 --> 00:29:59,214
that my body wasn't right,
you know, for existing how I was.
467
00:30:00,340 --> 00:30:04,844
Seeing Nebula be so confident
in her robot body and going, you know,
468
00:30:04,844 --> 00:30:07,263
"I could kind of make
my arm look like her arm."
469
00:30:07,263 --> 00:30:10,099
So, seeing her onscreen,
I was like, "I wanna look like that."
470
00:30:12,811 --> 00:30:16,314
I think that's what's important
for young amputees,
471
00:30:17,315 --> 00:30:20,610
young people with limb differences,
everyone, really,
472
00:30:20,610 --> 00:30:23,947
to see that we exist in
this dynamic fashion,
473
00:30:23,947 --> 00:30:25,949
that I feel like has been
ignored in media.
474
00:30:26,950 --> 00:30:29,953
The frustrating part is
that's how people know things, right?
475
00:30:29,953 --> 00:30:32,497
If you don't know someone
who wears a bionic arm
476
00:30:32,497 --> 00:30:34,833
or who is an amputee, why would you know?
477
00:30:36,209 --> 00:30:40,588
So, seeing Nebula,
seeing these awesome characters,
478
00:30:40,588 --> 00:30:43,633
especially in superhero movies,
is so exciting.
479
00:30:43,633 --> 00:30:45,176
Like we get a superhero.
480
00:30:46,010 --> 00:30:47,262
I get to be Nebula.
481
00:30:50,974 --> 00:30:53,184
How do you like
the Guardians of the Galaxy?
482
00:31:01,109 --> 00:31:03,069
Hail Hail
483
00:31:03,903 --> 00:31:06,322
What's the matter with your head
484
00:31:06,322 --> 00:31:10,785
I think Marvel films
are so successful because they lift us
485
00:31:10,785 --> 00:31:14,497
{\an8}out of our everyday lives
and put us in a fantastical world
486
00:31:14,497 --> 00:31:17,041
{\an8}where everything's
extraordinary and amazing.
487
00:31:17,041 --> 00:31:20,295
But underneath all of that
is just really good messages
488
00:31:20,295 --> 00:31:22,589
that we can all connect to
in our real lives.
489
00:31:22,922 --> 00:31:24,966
I dig it.
I like being in space.
490
00:31:24,966 --> 00:31:30,930
I get to play less girlfriends
and more female parts.
491
00:31:30,930 --> 00:31:32,390
More women.
492
00:31:33,057 --> 00:31:35,226
Come and get your love
493
00:31:35,226 --> 00:31:36,936
What? Whoa!
494
00:31:36,936 --> 00:31:39,022
I need a picture right now!
495
00:31:39,606 --> 00:31:43,735
{\an8}I think that we do have the responsibility
as storytellers
496
00:31:43,735 --> 00:31:47,322
{\an8}to represent
what the world looks like today.
497
00:31:47,822 --> 00:31:50,450
They're not just, like,
badass and violent, you know.
498
00:31:50,450 --> 00:31:53,369
They're like peculiar and weird
and broken at the same time,
499
00:31:53,369 --> 00:31:56,789
so it feels like we're getting accurate
representation of women in the film.
500
00:31:56,789 --> 00:32:01,169
You walk out into the world
and there's all types of women, and so,
501
00:32:01,169 --> 00:32:07,508
I think it's vital to reflect society,
diversity, you know, all genders.
502
00:32:07,508 --> 00:32:11,095
We just need to reflect
the real society in our movies.
503
00:32:13,806 --> 00:32:16,726
The Guardians of the Galaxy
movies are very touching.
504
00:32:17,060 --> 00:32:18,603
{\an8}And I find it really beautiful
505
00:32:18,603 --> 00:32:21,731
{\an8}because you see yourself
represented on screen.
506
00:32:22,857 --> 00:32:25,068
{\an8}I come out of these movies
feeling more assured,
507
00:32:25,068 --> 00:32:27,946
{\an8}feeling stronger, feeling more optimistic,
feeling more hopeful,
508
00:32:27,946 --> 00:32:31,491
feeling like, yes,
we do have control of our destiny.
509
00:32:32,951 --> 00:32:34,077
I have a daughter now.
510
00:32:34,661 --> 00:32:37,580
{\an8}She's one year old so
I haven't shown her any Marvel movies yet.
511
00:32:37,580 --> 00:32:39,707
{\an8}But I like the idea that one day,
we'll watch them
512
00:32:39,707 --> 00:32:43,127
and she can see herself
in these characters now.
513
00:32:43,670 --> 00:32:48,925
She can see Gamora and Nebula and Mantis.
514
00:32:48,925 --> 00:32:50,551
Something's happening.
515
00:32:50,551 --> 00:32:52,470
I like the idea that my daughter can say,
516
00:32:52,470 --> 00:32:55,723
"I don't need to be rescued by a boy,
I can rescue the boy myself."
517
00:32:55,723 --> 00:32:59,477
Peter! Take my hand!
518
00:33:08,069 --> 00:33:10,697
Zoe Saldana!
519
00:33:11,406 --> 00:33:12,991
You go, girl!
520
00:33:17,787 --> 00:33:21,165
{\an8}My hope is to be inspired
every time I go to the movies.
521
00:33:21,666 --> 00:33:25,211
And I'm excited to see
more stories of heroines.
522
00:33:25,837 --> 00:33:27,213
Of female heroes.
523
00:33:28,881 --> 00:33:32,468
Because I enjoy this genre,
I enjoy action movies,
524
00:33:32,468 --> 00:33:36,139
I enjoy watching films
with younger audiences.
525
00:33:36,139 --> 00:33:39,183
It makes you feel very excited
and proud of what you're doing.
526
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:42,603
So let's keep going in this direction.
More, please.
