Rooney Mara

[jomarlushka]

^i don't know maybe i just want to get her the wrong way...but changing her whole life for getting into the role of Lisbeth , come on? A few piercings and learning to ride a motorcycle and they talk like she went to live among ice bears on the South Pole...

I like that she styled her hair like that with that gown for the GG...very minimalistic and it works though it seems like a dress up - she surely has a great stylist channeling the cool-new-girl-in-Hollywood with reference to her "break-through" part as Lisbeth...but I think Noomi Rapace showed that you don't have to be a great Lisbeth and then try and channel her on every red carpet

though I do believe that she changed and evolved in her fashion style and choice I do not buy that "I was always that dark, moody-kind-of girl on the inside" come on!

^ so well said. ITA!

I'm sure it's been said before, but she comes off very ungrateful and snobby in interviews. She's not approachable at all. I think in the end that attitude will hurt her because she'll get a rep for being a snobby *ehem* beyotch. She's said before that she's really girly and now all of the sudden she's abandoned that and gone really goth/emo just because of a role?! I dont buy it.

I didnt get snobby from her interviews, she was clearly nervous and rightly so and trying to be very composed I dont think shes trying to be anything shes not, she always says how much transformation she had to do for the role.

Ill admit I was a little dissapointed at first when I saw she chose a black gown for the awards, but now I love it, it is so elegant and the details are amazing and she wears it her way and owns it. Hair and makeup suberb as well. That being said I would love for her to pull out some couture stunners like the white Givenchy she wore to the premeire, for the upcoming awards.

Jomarlusha totally agree. I loved her in "The Girl..." she was wonderful in the part but acting like she was always so hard core etc is just lame.

But I love her red carpet style for the most part, my fave look was the white Givenchy, her stylist is doing a really great job.

I´ve seen only two interviews (some talk show and GG) and in neither I thought she was snobby... she was clearly nervous but handled them ok, at least she was articulated
On the other hand, I do find that in some of her written interviews she comes crass or dettached from reality (Allure and W)...

When I first watched GWTDT, I went out and watched pretty much every Rooney interview I could find and I thought she was very likable and sweet. From watching her interviews, I've learned that she's the daughter of two Massive football empires, which means that she has undoubtedly grown up with money...So, if she has a snobby air (I haven't noticed it), then I guess it can be attributed to that.

Also, I think it's difficult to say that she's all of sudden changed her personality because she played this character when no one probably even bothered to interview her before now, because she still an unknown. I haven't seen/read any of her pre-GWTDT interviews in order to compare, but I have a feeling there won't be too much a difference there. Just sayin'.

I think her background definitely adds to her demeanor. You can tell by the way she carries herself, it's so different from other actresses. She has the mannerisms of woman well-born, as annoying is that is to write! But it's true. She's not flashy in the least.

Filming GWTDT was a huge experience and she's changed because of it.
We don't know what she's like personally, now or before,
so I'm not surprised by her style transformation.
Who says we have to maintain ONE look forever? Perhaps
this is how she feels most comfortable now.
I also like the way she is in interviews. It's straightforward and refreshing.
No one ever says this about male actors. Do women have to always put on a bull$hit show?

Except for the ponytail (which could've been executed better,
white still maintaining some edginess) I loved her GG look.

 

[kokobombon]

I would love to see her hair down, just to see how it looks.

 

[LolaSvelt]

Honeyisle, I agree. Especially under her circumstances. A lot of people change their style when they go through physical transformations on the big screen.

 

[MsLove]

The interviews that I have seen of her she just seems kind of shy, she did not come off as being arrogant or snobby. I like her, I don't dress the same way I did even a couple of years ago. I don't see the big deal.

Same here. I feel as though people/the media have a sense of entitlement, in that actors/actresses have to act in a certain way i.e. outgoing, bubbly, constantly cheery etc. and if they're not they're targeted for it. She just seems to be a bit of an introvert and shy I think.

She looked stunning at the Golden Globes! I think she should keep the change in hair colour, it makes her features stand out more.

 

[Not Plain Jane]

I agree with honeyisle's take. I don't see her in a cynical light.

I hate her statement for W. don't know but strikes me as wrong... you never should compare riding or learning to learn a motorcicle with being/or not being bothered with a r*pe scene imo...her gg outfit is great...but her sudden dark gothic-cool chick vibe seems fake to me, can't explain it but looking at her before it for the Social Network she didn't seem like this girl who always knew she was so different and now she seems like she thinks she invented "coolness"...just saying

OMG where to begin.

First of all, this is fiction. She is not comparing an actual r*pe scene to riding a motorcycle, but she is talking about a narrative, a screenplay and the scene she was supposed to act. Such a theoretical misunderstanding. I bet she explained it in simple words just to give the idea. I am not saying she is all cool and stuff, but c'mon, this is pure fiction.

Obviously I totally disagree on the gothic-cool chick vibe. She is still young, developing herself in all sorts of directions. She went for Lisbeth Salander, maybe she discovered that this is the kind of style she wants to have. Eventually, she is still playing Salander in 2 more parts, so it's still affecting her. Don't get me wrong, but I can't really see anything fake about that. Still developing, as I wrote.

I am not really fond of looking @ things from 1 perspective.

While 26 is young it´s not like she´s that young. In April she turns 27... she´s closer to her 30s than she is to her teens.
The young card can be used so many times, in terms of media attention she´s "young" in the sense of new found fame but in terms of style, I´d assume she knows by now what she likes. You see pics of her before GwtDT and she dressed very girly.

I know that she didn't compare those two things I just stated my opinion that mentioning both in one sentence and saying that the experience of learning how to drive a motorcycle was more scary than getting into character and acting to be raped violently does not sound well chosen for me. But I agree that I am very sensitive in terms of cultural studies, gender rights and use of language with certain context in general...so it's rather me beeing way too picky about people and their choice of phrasing.

she is 26 and comes from a family where her sister is a couple of years older and got into acting already as a teen so it's not like she doesn't know a dime about the HW-game and all what concerns fashion as well; of course everybody develops constantly it's just that with her background (family big company owners, mother supportive of acting careers, her having a degree in psychology etc.) would make me believe that she is the "naive" breakthrough actress trying to find her style à la Liv Tyler at 16! Come on! She knows how to play the new fashion-ingenue

 

[Wolkfolk]

Saw The Girl With Dragon Tattoo tonight, now I'm even more obsessed with her than beofre. I'm gonna be really pissed if she doesn't get an Oscar nod or if people keep trashing her because there's really something behind all the buzz.
Her performance is astonishing. And I mean it. She's honest, powerful, natural and really fascinating. The camera loves her. The way her skin catches the light is incredible. And she has a great chemistry with Daniel Craig on screen. She really blew me away.
