And in this picture show , she ’s an immigrant and she ’s also a widow . So , do you think she has something to prove in this movie ?

Zoe Saldana : I think she does . And she has something to prove to herself . And it ’s that she has what it takes to be autonomous , to experience her own itinerary . And she does n’t quite fuck that in the beginning when you conform to her .

And I recollect that ’s an significant message , especially for young girls growing up looking at something like that . I just believe she was such a strong character and that resonated with me . Now the other thing that I thought was so interesting about this pic is the entire process . From the voice work to the little puppets that they use . So , what was your initial reaction when you first realize the discharge project ?
