Robert Pattinson signs SSIFF Guest Book and attends Press Conference for High Life
Here’s a snippet of the cast of High Life and Rob attending the press conference, signing the guest book and at the press conference at #66SSIFF. It starts at 0.21 (which hopefully I’ve managed to do for you) and ends at about 0.43. There’s also short footage from the film with Juliette Binoche and Lars Eidinger.
Robert Pattinson talks about Samuel Alabaster in today’s world and comments on the #MeToo Campaign
Â
Here’s an extract from the Berlinale Press Conference where Rob talks about Samuel Alabaster and equality in today’s world and also his opinion about the #MeToo campaign.
Rob on how this film mirrors some of the equality discussions that are being had today:
“I mean I guess with Samuel he has an extremely skewed idea – his concept of consent. Literally he’s completely delusional about, I mean obviously it’s pushed to a massive extreme, but I mean I guess when we were making it, that as a cultural conversation wasn’t so prevalent. But I mean I guess that is the thing when someone has said ‘no’ to you and because you think because ‘I’m in love with you’ then it’s like ‘The only thing that matters is the fact that I love you and so all of my behavior has to be excused.’ And it’s like, ‘No, that’s not how love works. It’s not how reality works.’ But I think Samuel is obviously kind of a little bit loopy on top of that. But yeah, I mean it’s weird how a lot of these conversations kind of mirror what we’re trying to say in the story.”
Rob on what he thinks of the #MeToo campaign:
“Yeah, I think it’s, if you feel you’ve been wronged and you don’t feel that you have the right to tell people about it and you’ve been bullied, and you feel you’ve been bullied into silence I mean it’s one of the most awful things in the world. So it’s kind of amazing when any kind of dam breaks and people feel that they’ve got the numbers to say, no it’s completely, it’s, you’ll be safe to say whatever has happened to you and it’s kind of… it’s pretty amazing.”
