RUSSELL CROWE decided how to portray an Englishman living in rural France in new movie A GOOD LIFE when he saw British director RIDLEY SCOTT’s casually abusive manner towards the French.
Crowe found Scott’s unintentional nationalism fascinating - and it’s something he can relate to, being born a New Zealander in neighbouring Australia.
He says, "Ridley has had a house in Provence (France) for the last 15 years therefore the story of the Anglo-Franco dynamic is something that he knows absolutely.
"In talking to Ridley he will casually abuse French people without even be consciously aware that he’s doing it in an English manner, just as my French friends will casually abuse the English in the same way.
"As an outsider and a New Zealander born in Australia this to me was very funny. I wanted to examine that dynamic because this is two countries that share so much more common ground than they’ll care to admit.
"Yes, there’s a different language but there’s a sensibility and an understanding of life in both countries that is very similar though neither would ever admit that. There’s been many times they’ve been each other’s strongest and closest ally."
