\n\tKey quote: \u201cThere was a lot of fear going into it,\u201d Naomi Watts explained. \u201cAnd I\u2019m always interested in moving through fear. This is my villain era, this is the most extreme kind for me to come near and that said, the duality of playing a upstanding citizen, neighborly, good wife with the juxtaposition of this past she feels is erased but it\u2019s not it\u2019s clearly still living within her\u2026 She\u2019s unrepentant until the end and that\u2019s horrific playing that as an actor with that mindset. But it was a challenge worth confronting because we must remember stories like this about how hate rises and how it can live every close to us.\u201d Explaining her research process of looking into where does the root of evil steam from Watts continued, \u201cMan is the most dangerous animal. Most animals will kill for food or territory but when the mind is involved and that sophisticated way and when it\u2019s given permission [to subjugate] it can be really dangerous. \u201c<\/p>\n
