Take five movie6/12/2023 ![]() So whenever the Brits say, “I can’t believe you’re a Canadian playing a Brit,” I say, “Oh you know, Cate Blanchett did it!”ĬOMING SOONI love going to the theatre to watch movies. Cate Blanchett’s Australian and she was able to portray such a convincing Elizabeth I. I’ve seen Helen Mirren play the Queen and Cate Blanchett play Elizabeth I. We modeled my accent after the speech in that film. As Canadians, by the time we get to summer we’ve come out of this long winter and there’s this real strong sense of nostalgia for summer, which is probably why I watch those two.įIT FOR A QUEENThere were a lot of great films that I watched to help me capture the time period in which A Royal Night Out is set. I think both of those represent such interesting points in American filmmaking. SUMMER SIZZLERSIn the summer, I always love to watch An American in Paris and American Graffiti over and over. They’d say I had to watch Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. My British grandparents are film buffs too. The Italian roots in my family are definitely part of the reason why I love Italian film. My Italian grandparents would say I had to watch The Bicycle Thief. When I was growing up, she would always tell me I had to watch movies with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. MUST-SEE MOVIESMy mom has such a great background in film. ![]() I also think that because I had an older brother I was exposed to a lot of films that I maybe shouldn’t have seen at the age that I saw them. They weren’t in the industry but have a real love and admiration for filmmaking. My parents showed me both of those movies when I was really young. FAMILY VIEWINGThe films that have influenced me run the gamut from The Wizard of Oz to The Godfather.
