As a devoted admirer of Ethan Hawke, I find myself consistently captivated by his multifaceted journey through the realm of cinema and beyond. His latest endorsement for Kamala Harris echoes the wisdom of his mother, reminding us all that sometimes, we’re not dropped exactly at our doorstep, but we can get close enough with the right choice.
Ethan Hawke’s backing for the presidency leaves no room for doubt, as he clearly stated, “Kamala Harris is the bus I wish to board.
During a chat with The Hollywood Reporter Roma at the Lucca Film Festival, I shared some profound thoughts about this election season, inspired by advice from my mother. She said, “Voting is like using public transportation. It doesn’t drop you off right at your doorstep, but it gets you close. So, you hop on the train or bus, and it brings you near home.” In essence, I believe that Kamala Harris’ campaign bus is the one I want to be on.
In Lucca, I kicked off my day with a thrilling run atop the ancient city ramparts and a leisurely bike ride through the charming historic quarters. Not only am I looking forward to receiving a lifetime achievement award at this festival, but I’m also here to showcase my latest directorial work, “Wildcat.” This film stars my remarkable daughter Maya and narrates the captivating story of American author Flannery O’Connor. The tale delves into her lifelong struggle with lupus, a battle that ultimately confined her and eventually took her life in 1964.
Hawke expressed deep admiration for Maya, who at such a young age, showed interest in tackling a demanding project – a movie centered around a reclusive writer and chicken-tending character. He found it heartening that this story, which revolves around writing and poultry care, captivated Maya. It turned out that Maya had been enamored with Flannery O’Connor’s literature since she was a child. She reached out to Hawke and his mother [Uma Thurman], requesting their collaboration to bring this film to fruition. He feels honored that she selected them for the task.
The film weaves together O’Connor’s life and the visualizations of her unsettling, hallucinatory stories, populated with grotesque, cruel and disfigured characters. Hawke likened them to a certain political figure: “If you heard a story about a real estate developer running for U.S. President, selling Bibles to pay off a porn star, you’d think it was a character out of one of Flannery O’Connor’s stories, not someone real!”
1970 saw the birth of Ethan Hawke in Texas, a distant relative of playwright Tennessee Williams. He gained international recognition as a teenager starring in Peter Weir’s 1989 film Dead Poets Society. Reflecting on his experience with Weir, Hawke said, “I learned to face all difficulties and grow to appreciate them.
Hawke has been a frequent collaborator with director Richard Linklater, who guided him through the Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Before Midnight trilogy, filmed over years alongside Julie Delpy, and the coming-of-age epic Boyhood, a film shot over 12 years. Throughout his diverse career, Hawke — who is also a screenwriter, producer, novelist and musician — has earned four Academy Award nominations.
In his upcoming role as an actor, Hawke will once again collaborate with Linklater. They recently filmed “Blue Moon“, a movie that portrays the last days of renowned lyricist Lorenz Hart, who was one half of the legendary Rodgers and Hart songwriting duo. The script is exceptionally beautiful, and if we manage to do it justice even a little, it promises to be an outstanding film. Set over 90 minutes in real-time, the movie encapsulates Hart’s life.
Hart’s life was fraught with difficulties, characterized by alcoholism and depression. The story unfolds during the debut of Oklahoma!, the first musical Rodgers composed without him, as Hart plunged further into desolation. The ensemble features Margaret Qualley, Andrew Scott, and Bobby Cannavale.
Hawke noted that Hart was a humorous yet profoundly intricate individual, carrying a wounded spirit within him. His humor often held a veil of mortality. He was a character tinged with both sweetness and sadness, heavily influenced by melancholy.
