I point you towards my older post about Jodie Foster and Natalie Portman. Also, we don't know what Emma's priorities are. Is she really following a strategy of minimum public exposure because she doesn't want anything to get between her and an award? I doubt it, as she grants interviews often enough. It's just that when she does give interviews, she seems to always keep her distance.
-
Nop. No one asked for more pretty pictures of Emma or for meet and greets or for her to attend fan conventions. IOW, no one asked for her to assume the role of a celebrity more often. What I ask for is for Emma to be as open and opinionated as she used to be; essentially, for her to acknowledge the difference between an artist and any other kind of professional. Contact with the audience and a recognizable personality is key for any artist.
-
I get your point, I was simply wondering because in the case of Emma, especially if we talk about HP only, there wasn't so much one could say about her talent as an actress. She very much had to set out and prove that after HP ended. Btw, it's not like the only off-screen coverage Emma gets comes from tabloids and pap shots; i.e. the NY Times isn't "trash media". There's a real opportunity for insightful, even thought provoking interviews there, if Emma is willing to go that route.
-
Exactly. I don't think her limited screen time in HP allowed her to shine more than Bonnie Wright or Evanna Lynch. They were all good choices casting-wise and transported their characters adequately. Emma stood out among them for reasons that had not much to do with show biz.

cbmac accusing other people of causing drama is pretty lulzy. I don't know what your problem is, only that you have one. Comparing fans to stalkers doesn't work logically. Some people here obsess over Emma's clothes or makeup, which is much creepier IMO. Still, it's not harmful in any way. You give no reasons why we should discount the importance of image/ recognizable personality to an artist, because there simply are no reasons for that; other than "I wouldn't want anyone to know anything about me either!". Somehow, the obvious consequence doesn't appear to you: not giving any interviews at

People are accepting her in roles other than Hermione, and she delivers in these roles. The issue you have in mind doesn't seem to exist in reality. I don't think her foremost goal is to make people forget about Hermione. But even if it was, there are several ways to go about it. Of course she can simply try to keep her real personality out of the media for 10 years; but that's not very efficient, or honest, or guaranteed to succeed. You can change your image by simply being upfront about the changes you're going through; I don't think that her problem is credibility. People tend to beli
-
Welp, we don't know what her goals are. You're supporting Emma's position that suspension of disbelief is hard to achieve and must be a priority. OTOH, Emma seems to be convincing in her role as Nicki, so this is no insurmountable problem to her. She's been very open during her HP time. She can neither make people forget about that nor suddenly turn that image on its head (that wouldn't be credible). What I'd like to see is her keeping on being so open, and embracing any changes in her image that may come with it. The HP legacy certainly inhibits her; young girls looking up at you with glea
-
She has been an actress in the past as well, but since the end of HP, she's been very reluctant with statements that could be translated into any form of image. Maybe it's her strategy; we know that she believes that giving away too much could hinder people's suspension of disbelief. But for me as a consumer, it's much less interesting to watch a non-descript actress' performance. I much prefer to have an impression of someone as a person and then see how that plays out on screen, even or especially if the role seems at odds with their personality (like Emma in Bling Ring). Also, I really en
-
cbmac, if she had offered any new insights (maybe in this interview) then there wouldn't be the same old argument about her education that was already going on in another thread. I think it's sad that someone as intelligent and opinionated as Emma doesn't seem interested anymore in forming any kind of image, of a public persona. It might be that she's needing a break from the celebrity circus, or that she's insecure or unsure about her priorities right now, but anything would be better than nothing. When talking about her roles, she's very broad and unspecific in her statements. Ditto for co
-
I would expect a very British reaction from Emma.
-
Exactly. I think he falls into the category of guys Emma really favors in her long-term relationships. There's a realistic way of looking at things, and one of simply approving of everything she does. Both are ok from a fan perspective.
-
wut?
-
curiously, in her last interview she claimed she doesn't like a blank canvas. as for the video, I'm p. sure she has seen this or similar videos before. In one interview she said she used to look up her name on the net, so I'm sure she's aware of the shenanigans of her fans/ admirers.
-
There are about a dozen videos of guys singing to Emma for a date. Did she ever intimate that you can win her heart with a song?

The analogy is quite sound. Exercising everyday with a set intensity is a habit; studying everyday with a certain amount of focus is a habit. You're claiming that studying, with a set intensity, isn't about effort - I don't think so. Studying very much requires constant effort. Nowhere (and not in your article) have I read that some people simply can't help but study hard - in a way that it takes no conscious decision - but do so without suffering any exhaustion. That's mostly preposterous, for the reasons above. Let's again take exercising as an example. There are plenty examples of

Thanks, that's better than my coffee when you've burned your greedy mouth on a pizza But enough about me.

It's not in any way logical to assume that a person can't change over the course of years. Especially if we're talking about putting your mental faculties to work with as much effort as you're capable of. IOW, while we can assume that Emma will always know how to ride a bike, we cannot assume that she will always ride her bike with the same regularity, with the same effort, all her life.
-
Welp, I already said this is a matter of faith.
-
Of course you deserve a topic. And cake. <3
-
On what statistics do you base this opinion?
-
Except that you're accepting quotes from the past to still be true today without evidence. The HP family could attest to her studious nature, but no one knows if it's still like that. Like I said in that other thread, her public stance on the importance of education has changed. It's not a "logical leap" to assume her attitude has changed accordingly, and that may or may not have resulted in a change of behaviour. Simply assuming that she's still the schoolgirl she used to be has little to do with logic but a lot with faith.
-
What gives you reason to believe that she is hard-working all the time? Personally, I haven't read any quotes from her fellow students or professors describing her as hard-working. Point me to those if they exist.
-
*sigh* That quote really doesn't shed much light on her activities. She doesn't even say how long she's been living like a hermit. A lot of people who slack during the year gear up come finals. That quote could just as easily imply laziness.
-
Exactly. Since the content of the interview has next to nothing to do with education, it's useful to neither skeptics nor believers in Emma and her education.
