Halle Berry has opened up about how her career didn’t take off as expected after Oscar, a historic victory by becoming the first black woman in winning the category. The protagonist of ‘Catwoman’ is sincere.
Honesty and pride
“I thought, Oh, all these great scripts are going to come to me; all these great directors are going to knock on my door,” Berry claimed a year ago. “It did not happen. In fact, it got a little more difficult. They call it the curse of the oscar. He is expected to deliver award-worthy performances. “
In a new interview with EW to promote her directorial debut, ‘Bruised,’ Berry said the lack of opportunities following her Oscar win meant she couldn’t just pursue an artistic career and work with top filmmakers. The result was that Berry was found unable to say no to certain projects. Like ‘Catwoman’.
“Okay, it’s a movie that I can’t say I’m totally in love with, but this is not a hobby. This is how I take care of my children,” Berry said. “I try to maintain awe and curiosity. Being a black woman I have not always had papers that I love them “.
“When you have a historic victory like that, you think that everything is going to change radically. And he did, but not overnight. He still had to get back to work. He still had to fight his way out. “Although Berry landed a lucrative role as Jinx in the (magnificent) ‘Die Another Day,’ plans to make the character in his own film fell through because MGM refused to provide a budget of 80. million dollars to an action vehicle led by Berry.
The loss of the Bond franchise and limited opportunities made it difficult for Berry to say no to ‘Catwoman’, popularly known as one of the worst movies never performed. Berry won a Razzie Award for his performance in the film.
“It was one of my highest paid roles, and there is nothing wrong with that. I don’t want to feel like, ‘Oh, I can only do award-worthy things.’ What is an award-winning performance? It was a great opportunity for a woman of color to be a superhero. Why shouldn’t I give it a try? “Well done, Halle. Michael Caine never regretted his role in the worst ‘Jaws’ sequel.
