Isabelle Furhman: I think because the souls of dark characters are so different than good characters. When someone does something bad, 你 kind of have to dig deeper to figure out what it is that made them want to do that thing. I just think it’s interesting to be able to understand someone who is so different from me.
17: How did 你 prepare to play Clove?
IF: I actually wrote a back story for her, like a biography. I had to stick to the book as much as I could because the book has such a huge 粉丝 base and I’m such a huge 粉丝 of the book as well. I wrote about where I thought she came from, her family and how she might know Cato and other people in the Games.
17: Are 你 Team Peeta 或者 Team Gale?
IF: Team Katniss. I relate to her so much.
17: What was your 最喜爱的 scene to shoot?
IF: The feast scene, when I attack Katniss. I got to do all my own stunts, so it was very cool to be able to put all of my training to the test. At the end of the day, Jennifer Lawrence and I were like, “Oh my God, I’m so tired!”
17: It sounds like your actual training was very similar to tribute training.
IF: It really was! We had to really be good at our own craft, so I did a ton of 刀 throwing and combat.
17: Did 你 think about your face when 你 filmed fight scenes? Did 你 want to look cute?
IF: I probably look ridiculous, but that’s a good thing – I’m supposed to look crazed and rabid. I think that worked.
17: Did 你 keep any mementos from the set?
IF: I wish! Although, I did learn how to flip a 蝴蝶 knife. But 蝴蝶 knives are illegal in California, so I can’t exactly get one to practice.
17: What are 你 going to do to celebrate the movie coming out?
IF: Everyone in the cast is going to see it together. We'll surprise some 粉丝 at the movie theater!
