"We had to keep on taking care of ourselves so that we can take care of the story." Especially during filming, "I think it was actually a necessity for us to have game nights and go into nature and hike, and you know, swim and dive and lakes and dance and eat good food, so that we could really come back and fully give ourselves." "I'm going to rest for a little bit.

Andrew Garfield Gets Existential (The Cut)

With every project, Garfield is ultimately digging for the molten core of how to be human. In FX's 'Under the Banner of Heaven,' his character is forced ...

Religion and spirituality is kind of the quickest way to do a study on how we do that and where we go wrong, where we go right. Someone who really understands what it is to lead a country — anyone who fully, humbly gets that — would not want the responsibility. When you think about police officers, the power that a police officer has is such a heavy duty and a heavy burden. That is on the personal level, and that is on the universal collective level. Jeb is a police officer, and we see a lot of this story from that particular perspective. Right now we’re in a time where the culture is in a lot of fear, a lot of uncertainty, a lot of pain, a lot of non-belonging, a lot of dislocation and dissociation from the fruits of life and from lives of meaning, for multiple reasons. Hopefully every project I do is a kind of attempt to get to a North Star of meaning and how we make lives of true aliveness. For Jeb Pyre, what he’s going through is How do I hold on to this foundation of my life: my faith, my religion, my family, my community, my kids, the internal structure of how my psyche is organized? The only way to heal the wound is to go into the wound and actually heal from the base of that wound, rather than putting a Band-Aid over it. And it’s painful, but it’s the only way to live a life of truth and meaning — to be broken open by life and to let go of what we think we know. “Ultimately,” Garfield tells the Cut, “we can never know more than maybe one percent of what it is to be a person while we’re conscious.” With all the heart and wholeness he puts into his work, it makes sense that he has decided to take a break after Under the Banner of Heaven.

Mum’s the word (literally). - The Flight Attendant(streaming on HBO Max): I’m about to give up on Season 2 of this increasingly silly mystery caper, with a gape-jawed Kaley Cuocoflailing in frantic confusion and panic at every twist as she heads to Iceland to rescue her friend Megan ( Rosie Perez) from North Korean spies, only to encounter an unexpected ally. A new documentary uses animation, archival footage and interviews with some of the letter-writers to tell this unusual story. The ambitious third season of Donald Glover’s provocative comedy has been marked by standout stand-alone episodes having nothing to do with the European adventures of Paper Boi ( Brian Tyree Smith), Earn (Glover) and entourage. In other news, a victim from one of Carisi’s ( Peter Scanavino) recent cases is arrested. (See the full review.)

“I’m actually really happy and excited to be very quiet and very still and take some time to just be.” “I’m very inspired by her saying, ‘Nope, I’m not going to do that vault.

Andrew Garfield Recalls Missing His Late Mom on Oscar Night: 'You ... (PEOPLE.com)

Andrew Garfield shares the ways in which he still feels connected to his late mother and why it's helpful to talk about loss and grief.

A moment like that feels like a profound privilege that I got to be on a late-night show and talk to someone who's so brilliant and smart and emotionally intelligent and talk about something that is important and vital. He continues: "So for me the beauty is, a moment like on Stephen Colbert's show where I get to talk about my mom, talk about my brother and my dad, in a way that felt like I didn't have to give everything away... As soon as it becomes too much about me, I have to kind of dance away from the edge of that and redirect attention back towards the thing that's actually worth speaking about and actually enhancing the conversation." "Especially for younger artists figuring out what actually feels right for them and having the space and time to decide what is right for themselves. BOOM!], my dad came out and you kind of want to call her in and you want to bring her in your pocket and you do. "We keep death at a distance and I think it's actually one of the big problems with our culture.

5 Revelations from Andrew Garfield, His Under the Banner of ... (Rotten Tomatoes)

The cast and creator of the Hulu limited series talk about needing to build emotional distance between their real lives and the bleak true-crime tale based ...

“They lead with love, and they lead with all of these things that you wouldn’t think they would lead with when you see that opening sequence of what the end result was,” he told Rotten Tomatoes. “But not all love is created equal. (You can probably search for the answer if you want to know ahead of its reveal.) But that’s almost immaterial to the story, because, as Worthington said, “I never saw it as a whodunnit, but more like a whydunnit. “I think one of the best parts about what we do is that project to project, you get the opportunity to explore a realm or subject matter that you might not necessarily have had the chance to [learn about before].” Birmingham said he would head outside to spend time in nature (Lake Louise, Banff, and Jasper Park were his favorites). Edgar-Jones, Chloe Pirrie, and Tyner Rushing would have game nights, while Russell would decompress by watching sports. The subject matter of the series is dark, but it’s also based on a true story. “I think we’re watching the world in trouble in ways that are similar to how Utah was in trouble in the ’80s. People feel like their lives are going backwards. When Black read Krakauer’s book nearly 20 years ago, it brought back plenty of memories from his childhood and all the ways his curiosity, like Brenda Lafferty’s, was looked down on. And when you’ve got a crime like we were trying to solve, it’s a matter of trying to crack those secrets.” In doing his job, Jed is forced to go against everything he holds dear — and his colleague, Bill Taba (Birmingham), pushes him to do so. “What makes this a unique true crime story is the fact that it is all set within the Mormon church, and the politics and the culture and the rhythms of that particular religion,” Garfield explained. But in the case of the FX true-crime drama Under the Banner of Heaven, the story was too dark to live in after hours. I felt it was actually imperative to detach as much as humanly possible and have as much fun as possible and be as light and giddy and self-nourishing as possible in order to come back and give energy to this thing.”
