WATCH: Chris Hemsworth, Jessica Chastain talk betrayal and second chances
Chris and Jessica talk about the themes in 'The Huntsman: Winter's War,' their favorite and most challenging scenes, and what makes this movie's set different from the others

SINGAPORE (UPDATED) – I’ve always wondered why fairy tales are told to kids as bedtime stories. I mean they are pretty brutal, violent and dark. In a way, maybe it’s a good approach to express the harsh realities of life in stories heightened with fantasy. A lot of us justify our actions and find ourselves  where we are now because of betrayal and pain. The line between right and wrong – as a result of –  become blurred.

The second installment of Snow White and the Huntsman, titled The Huntsman: Winter’s War, shows yet another angle on this, with a powerful cast on board, reaching out to their own past experiences to portray and breathe life to their characters. 

In my interview with Chris Hemsworth (Eric) and Jessica Chastain (Sara) one question I asked caught them in a pondering mood, with an answer reflective of their dynamic performance in the movie. I asked If they were for second chances after a betrayal. 

Took a while for an answer to come out. There are boundaries and limits, they said. Forgiveness can be given without one having to be  in an unhealthy and abusive situation.

“I think you can forgive anyone,” said Jessica. “That doesn’t mean you have to put yourself in an unhealthy situation. Right, you can have forgiveness for someone who’s done something terrible, but just because you forgive them doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice yourself.”

Forgive, and be cautious. Great takeaway, if you ask me.

Jessica and Chris also shared tidbits about how their fight scenes, and what they enjoyed the most about filming the movie. Watch what they had to say below:

 

The Huntsman: Winter’s War is a prequel to Snow White and the Huntsman (2012) and follows Eric and Sara as they fight for their queen, Freya, against her sister Ravenna. The movie delves into many emotions and scenarios that can hit home for anyone who has experienced betrayal and abuse from people they love. 

It premieres in Philippine cinemas on April 13. – Rappler.com
