Scarlett Johansson’s Hope ForAsteroid City
Wes Anderson’sAsteroid Citywhich premiered in May, deals with world-changing supernatural events that spectacularly disrupt the itinerary of a Junior Stargazer/Space Cadet convention in an American desert town in the 1950s. Scarlett Johansson plays a 50s movie star who forms a bond with a widower and his child played by Jason Schwartzman. Speaking of her takeaways from the film, Johansson said,
“I think the film has an existential quality to it. I think just being able to sit and let the movie wash over you and also take from it in return – living with those characters and these vulnerabilities that are exposed as they encounter one another which ends up telling you a lot about themselves”.
TheBlack Widowstar believed that the film succeeded in allowing audiences to reflect on their lives through these characters while the subtle storytelling ensured that the message was seamlessly delivered as opposed to forcibly drilled in.
