In an interview with EntertainmentWeeklythe director and executive producer Olatunde Osunsanmi spoke about the way the Malaysian-Chinese actress’ performance inspired an unpredictable, cinematic style in Section 31.
“Ultimately, each scene generally belongs to a specific character. In Section 3199% of these scenes belong to the character of Michelle Yeoh, Philippa Georgiou,” he stated. “So what you have is a film that is visually inspired by who she is. She is unpredictable, she is dangerous, she is ruthless, she has also discovered that she is kind and has the opportunity for redemption.”
Instead of a man in the spotlight, you have a woman in the spotlight and an unpredictable visual design for the first time in this modern era.
