The“collusion” between the director, screenwriter, actors, and studio that made “Cruella” a punk movie
2021.05.28
Emma Stone's project took four years to realize
Rather than creating an ``omnidirectional type'' work that brings together members with disparate individualities, we chose a fighting style that increases explosive power and concentration to the limit by assembling members with similar strengths and making it a ``one-point breakthrough type.'' ``Cruella''. That's why it's so cathartic if you get addicted to it. And in order to enhance its effectiveness, it accurately uses the elements of the ``dual personality'' subspecies mentioned at the beginning.
Looking at the work, Cruella is portrayed as an anarchist who rebels against the authoritarians, and Estella exists in the role of a fox who borrows the power of a tiger, in other words, as a being who follows the social hierarchy. The structure is that when Estella wishes to reverse adversity, she "transforms" into Cruella. There are lines in the movie that say, ``Estella can't do it. Cruella will achieve it,'' and there are passages where they are seen as separate individuals.
By creating this structure, Emma Stone, director Craig Gillespie, and Tony McNamara's special zone is the moment when Cruella takes over - the ``transformation scene'' is the moment when there is a spark of ``movement'' and ``highlight''. is born. The music, costumes, and even the sense of speed are all designed to instantly raise the tension on screen, and you'll feel a rush of pleasure like when a rock tune hits the chorus. You might be able to see it as some sort of heroic thing. A major feature of this work is the way in which each element begins to move simultaneously and organically when the transformation is signaled.

By the way, the executive producers of ``Cruella'' include Emma Stone and Glenn Close, who played Cruella in `` 101 '' (1996), and Stone joined the project in 2016. Coach Gillespie joined the team in 2018, and McNamara joined the team. At the time of their appointment, it was decided that the story would be set in the 1970s, and the direction of the fashion and music in the play, as well as the punk rock taste, became clear.
The costumes were created by Jenny Bevan of `` Mad Max: Fury Road '' (15), and the music (original score) was created by Nicholas Britell of `` Moonlight '' (16). There are many places. Among the existing songs, famous songs by world-famous bands such as Queen and The Doors are everywhere.
Even from this point of view, there is no room for this work to be missed, and it is a single-minded attack. Emma Thompson's performance opposite Emma Stone is also intentionally designed to be dark, and the tempo is fast throughout, with strong color contrast. However, because there is a sense of unity in which ``all sections are going at full power,'' rather than breaking down, it is creating a huge swell.
Completely consistent with the "direction" of Disney's live-action project
