After winning Video of the Year and Best Director at the MTV Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift is aiming to direct her first feature film. The news was revealed by the singer during her attendance at the Toronto Film Festival, where she presented an extended version of the award-winning clip / short film “All Too Well” over the weekend.
“I would like to continue to take small steps forward,” he told the festival audience. “And I think I’m in a place right now where my next step as a child is not a step as a child. It would be a commitment to make a movie. I would love to have the opportunity, because I absolutely love to tell stories this way. “.
Discussing the types of narratives he wants to explore, Swift said: “I think I’ll always want to tell human stories about human emotions. I never say never, but I can’t imagine shooting an action sequence. It happens, honestly, it’s going to be a ‘ funny evolution. But I don’t always find myself telling stories of extreme heartbreaks that have been emotionally debilitating for years, because I think I’ve done it before. “
Swift also talked about the films that influenced the design of the “All Too Well” video.
“In my mind, there is a period in the 1970s when we start seeing romantic films with two characters so beautifully, intimately intertwined, until they fall apart in front of you and you can’t believe it, like ‘Our Love Yesterday ‘,’ Love Story ‘,’ Kramer vs. Kramer ‘. And so those were the ones that inspired me, because I love those movies … “
In terms of contemporary influences, Swift has proven to be a fan of independent directors.
“I think in terms of modern films that I have loved and that have probably been used to make this short film, I would say that ‘Marriage Story’ has been really creepy for me for months. It’s ‘The Souvenir’ part one and two, by Joanna Hogg. . I actually shot the short film around the time I saw ‘The Souvenir Part II’, and I was inspired by the fact that it is about this young woman who is in extreme pain and then makes something out of it … a movie. “
She also explained why it took her 10 years to make a music video for the song, originally released on the 2012 album “Red”, and remade throughout the entire re-recorded album, “Red (Taylor’s Version)”, released on last year.
“The song was very difficult because it was about something in that moment [época da gravação original] it was very timely for me, “he said.” I would have had a hard time doing that at the time. I really had to force myself to focus on other things to try to overcome her theme on the tour. So there was no way I could have created a visual element for that song at the time. I needed 10 years of hindsight to know what I would do to tell a visual version of this story. And I’m so thankful that I was able to do it with a crazy twist of fate. “
It is worth mentioning that the singer remade “Red” as part of an ambitious project to re-record her entire discography, to protest the rights to the original master tapes acquired by Scooter Braun, Justin Bieber’s manager and other stars. of pop music. , without her he could do nothing. His first fully re-recorded album was “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)”, released a few months earlier.
Swift also explained the meaning of the “scarf” in the video, which has become a favorite topic of discussion for fans.
“Basically, the scarf is a metaphor,” he said. “And we made it red because red is a very important color on this album, which is called ‘Red’. That said, I won’t go any further.”
Swift also described how Dylan O’Brien’s performance impressed her, because even though she smothered Sadie Sink in the on-screen relationship, she also found herself rooting for him.
“I know it’s problematic, but I keep looking and thinking, ‘He’s so charismatic,'” she said. “He’s charismatic, he’s troubled, and I’m still cheering on the couple to solve their problems, because it raises some fascinating points.”
In the clip, Sink and O’Brien portray a relationship that mirrors the lyrics of the song. Considered to be one of Taylor Swift’s best compositions, “All Too Well” would have been inspired by the brutal end of her relationship with actor Jake Gyllenhaal, over the phone. The song also mentions a scarf that was left with the actor after the novel ended – and he even wore it publicly after the breakup.
Originally, “All Too Well” was 10 minutes long and had more detailed lyrics – the scarf saga is longer – but it ended up being released mid-length in 2012. It’s back in the clip with doubled power. And the re-recording was so good that Gyllenhaal ended up being massacred on social media by fans of the singer who was reminded of the story.
In the clip, O’Brien allegedly embodies Gyllenhaal as Sink plays Swift, with an argument capable of interrupting the song midway through the narrative. In addition to directing, Taylor Swift also wrote the script.
The viral music video, along with a 10-minute full version performance on “Saturday Night Live,” helped Swift be registered in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest-running song to reach number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The singer will release a new album of unreleased music, “Midnights”, on October 21st.
