The actress and director also explained her mystic techniques when working on the film:"I do all kinds of weird things and carry crystals... light candles, get my chart read, got Louisa May Alcott's chart read at the same time."
"When I started working on this project, Meryl Streep did just tell me that she was going to be in it. Because she loves the book and she told me, ... 'I'll be Aunt March.' She said, 'Write me some good lines.' I was like, 'I will,’" Gerwig said. "We had a lunch and she said, 'This is what you have to communicate to the audience about the position of women, that they don't even own their own children.
The director added that during rehearsals, Chalamet was trying to grasp the core difference about his relationship with Amy. "And then he came to this 'Oh she allows you to be masculine because she's feminine.' And he was like, 'Oh I understand.'" Even when Gerwig makes a decision in terms of how a scene should play out, she never stops thinking of what else she could have squeezed into the story. "The truth about movies is you make them as best you can, but on some level you're always making them in your head for the rest of your life. You let them go, but I'm still thinking," she said.
I love Greta
