Interview May 2015
First I noticed Emma Stone is from Easy A,
then ever since my gazes are very severely harsh away from this Hollywood
bombshell. Photography by Craig McDean, the cover image of Interview May 2015 issue
is having a sense of nostalgia and vintage. Emma’s face is taking over half
size of the front cover, her reddish mid-length hair shielding part of her left
eye, the exposes of her facial pores showing it’s not too much photoshop
post-production.
With 12 pages of fashion campaign shoots,
Emma portraits her sex appeal, in a rather sensual, natural poses. The soft
focus and zooming techniques enhance an alternative voyeurism toward Stone,
which she is not whimsically witty, such as her famous lip-synching at Jimmy
Fallon Show, but sexually elegant. Her gleeful ready-and-willingness doesn't
come from desperation, nor plead for approval.
One of the reason that makes Interview
magazine such an interesting read is that those interviews between superstars
seems so raw, so fragmental, and so real, as if we are listening to some
girl-next-door small talks. The conversation between Emma and Diane is no
exception:
Diane Keaton: So, Emma…..
Emma Stone: Yes…..[laughs] Well, you know
what? What’s strange about the way my brain functions is that the only thing
that has ever made me feel calm is knowing clearly what I want. You don’t admit
to yourself what you want?
Diane Keaton: Well, I tried not to because
I felt really guilty about wanting them.
From feeling no guilty on her ambitions, Stone is growing up in Arizona, appreciating the varieties in the deserts. She especially falls in love with Charlie Chaplin’s City Lights (1931), definitely did know that she liked to perform, and remains this kind of obsession to this day. About her poetic boyfriend Andrew Garfield, she describes him Wordsworth, and Stone doesn’t feel any different from anyone, so she is not hurry having several groupies following her all around the world.
Reading Interview is as if your neighbor sitting next to you, babbling some trifle but yet consisting of wisdom, and usually, the inspiration comes out with that inadvertently moment.
