The Oscar winner and Jessica Chastain star in the Netflix movie inspired by a true story. Il divo: “To play the paramedic killer I even learned how to do intravenous injections”
THE ANGELS “My daughter thinks it’s a dry», dice Eddie Redmayne. Despite the fact that, at the age of six, she has not yet seen her father in the movies exercising the tricks of the magician Newt Scamander of the Harry Potter prequel
“Fantastic Beasts“, The little girl intercepted a trailer on the internet and asked her father a specific question:”You are a wizard? He asked me. And I didn’t know what to answer. On the one hand I would have liked to strengthen that image by saying yes, I am actually a magician, on the other I didn’t mean to lie. So I did the usual trick of the coin that comes out of the ear but was not very impressed. Okay, she told me her, but in the trailer you did
disappear a building. In short: my daughter has begun to understand that as a magician I am not worth much ».
As an actor instead the value of the English Eddie Redmayne is not questioned. In 2015 he won theOscar for his interpretation of the famous physicist Stephen Hawking in
«The theory of everything
»and the following year he gets a second nomination for giving voice and appearance
to the first transgender undergoing surgery in history
in
«The Danish Girl“. Now there is talk of another nomination, as a supporting actor for «The Good Nurse», arrived on Netflix after being released in theaters in the States. And another one true story. That ofinfermiere e serial killer Charlie Cullen and the co-workerAmy Loughren (played by Jessica Chastain) who helped the police unmask him. It is established that Cullen killed more than 40 people between the late 1980s and 2003, when he was arrested. Unofficial sources even speak of 400 suspicious deaths. Now the man is in prison, he has to serve 17 life sentences. He avoided the death penalty by pleading guilty but never explained the real reason of his crimes.
Directed by Tobias Lindholm and based on the book of the same name by Charles Graeber, «The Good Nurse» sees Eddie Redmayne once again disappear into his character, as he did when he had to play the lively brain in a paralyzed body of Stephen Hawking or the woman trapped in a man’s body. “I think I once again traumatized my children when I explained that it’s not me the title good nurse. To play the killer I studied the photographs and Graeber’s book, in which Charlie is described as a Question mark – says the actor during a meeting organized by the Critics Choice Association -. Not so much a reference to his double personality but to its physicality. It was as if he had a hook holding him from the bottom of his collar and him watched
the world sideways from that position “.
On the set was the real Amy Loughren who helped understand the roots of the relationship between the two colleagues, very close friends until the discovery of the author of all those suspicious deaths. «We have come to the conclusion that Charlie was two different peopleand amico friendly and reliable it’s a serial killer. That between Charlie and Amy was a real friendship and that man was really split in two. ”
There is more than that Eddie Redmayne he learned by making the film: «To take off my latex gloves in the right way, to correctly perform a heart massage and do the injectionseven those intravenously, and now I’m constantly worried that they may be there air bubbles in the liquid “. But above all he became aware of the importance of the nursing profession: «The sense of theirs mission. A nurse must be intellectually rigorous, must know science, mathematics, medicine and must also be able to withstand enormous physical exertionhow to move a sick person to a bed, ed emotional. A nurse is the connecting point between doctors, patients and family in a time of great difficulty for the sick and his affections. If you weren’t already grateful to them after what they did during the pandemic I would be now, at the end of this film ».
