Ben X
The problem with a blog is, that sometimes you just run out of ideas, what to post!
Luckily I saw a movie today that really cracked me up. And I don't want to say too much about it. But it's great.
Go see it!

My Queen Karo (2)
I can´t believe I haven´t told anything about this movie!
But maybe the pictures on itself say enough.
Anyway, if you didn´t know yet, it was my first role as an extra for a feature film.
I´d gotten up at 5:30, went to the meeting place for dressing and make-up. I didn´t seem to need make-up, ofcourse I never do, but it would´ve been nice to sit in a make-up chair for once.
So I just made a picture.
For this particular scene, young people were needed. We started to walk towards our shooting location. There we would find a group of mobile police units, ready to take us on.
We started rehearsing on the sidewalk. Our goal was to rebel against the police. Shouting and fighting were our instructions. So there we stood, face to face, our clan of young squatters with fake mustaches and sideburns standing side by side against the supposedly incarnation of law and order from the sixties.
People were looking out their windows as this was bound to get interesting.
Just as in the second part of Lord of the Rings, it started raining. This wasn´t in the script. And then hell broke loose.
During these rehearsals, people who would stand in front of the line would actually get hit by sticks. I got one slapping my ear against my skull. Even though the sticks were prepared with foam to minimize injuries, I started to walk back in line. This m*therf%r hurt!
After rehearsals we spent half an afternoon in and around a café, waiting. This is the life of an extra, and I don´t know if I could live with that, it being a full-time occupation.
What I got out of it? A great day with wonderful (young) people. And a picture of an actress that nobody knew, but I had seen 2 movies of and therefore consider a celebrity: Déborah François. Speaking of which, the movie l´enfant won a golden palm, and she had a great part in that. The other movie I saw with her is just plain sick, so I recommend not to see la tourneuse de pages.
