EXCLUSIVE: Aimee Lou Wood describes the young woman she plays opposite Bill Nighy in the acclaimed movie Living as the film’s “character of life.” It’s a performance that’s bee…
, is an English-language adaptation by Booker Prize-winning novelist Kazuo Ishiguro of Akita Kurosawa’s 1952 classic about Mr. Williams, played by Nighy, a suburban, faceless Englishman, set in his ways, who always does everything by the book as a senior local government bureaucrat in postwar London. Upon receiving a doom-laden diagnosis from his doctor, Mr.Williams develops a renewed interest in living when he meets Miss Margaret Harris, a junior in his office.
And I think that that is really inspiring though. And when you do meet people like that, you’re like, wow.I’ve been lucky enough to watch the film a bunch of times and each time I’ve seen little things that you, and Bill, do that I’d missed before. Strange thing, watching movies, isn’t it? Right. It’s weird someone else said that the second time that they watched it, they really saw the scene between Mr. Williams’s son [Barney Fishwick] and Margaret.
So, like, when I leave a day of work, I feel like I need to get better at just being like, it’s gone now. Especially with filming, because you are not gonna see that thing for months. And you don’t know what takes are gonna be chosen. She’s someone who notices things so much that him wearing a new hat is like, what? What? Oh, you have a new hat? And I just went, that’s who Margaret is. And from then on even her first line of dialogue about when she’s saying to Peter [Peter Wakeling played by Alex Sharp] about keep your skyscraper high, because if you don’t, people will think that you don’t have anything important to do.
And I also love that Mr. Williams is open to being led by and taught by someone much younger than him. And with Margaret, she moves jobs to one that might seem a bit less respectful because she wants to have a better time. She’s less bothered about what people think of her and how she’s perceived and what those men in the office will think of what her life looks like.
