The Exploding Girl
Interview with the director
The film centers on the character of Ivy, a girl in her teens. Why did you want to tell her particular story and how do you relate to her?
I was inspired to tell Ivy’s story because of her calm and selfless nature. Her character originated on a down day. As a way of protecting myself from looking at things negatively, I started to imagine someone who would motivate me to become a better person.
Ivy can’t do everything she wants because of a medical condition, but she never complains. When Ivy’s character finally emerged, I was humbled by her resilience and I was eager to share her story.
ando há que tempos para ver o trailer deste filme mas nunca mais há meio de sair.
pelo menos não o encontro em lado nenhum.
e agora fiquem com uma música dos The Cure que, pelo que eu percebi, deu origem ao nome do filme.
The Exploding Boy
i couldn't hear a word you said
i couldn't hear at all
you talked until your tongue fell out
and then you talked some more
i knew if i turned
i'd turn away from you
and i couldn't look back
tell yourself we'll start again
tell yourself it's not the end
tell yourself it couldn't happen
not this way
not today
