『ルドルフとイッパイアッテナ』井上真央さんインタビュー

今回PECOでは映画『ルドルフとイッパイアッテナ』で主役声優をつとめる女優・井上真央さんにインタビューを行いました！
収録の裏話や、井上真央さんご自身の愛犬“ハグちゃん”とともに行ったという役作りのお話など、ここでしか読めない情報が盛りだくさんです♪ 

役作りで意識したのは、“ルドルフの成長”

PECO（以下ーー）

今回、猫を演じるにあたってどのように役作りをされましたか？

井上真央さん（以下略）

「猫を演じるというよりは、イッパイアッテナやブッチとのシーンが多かったので、男の子の好奇心旺盛さや、ルドルフの成長していく部分を見せていけたらと思いながら役作りをしました」

ーー監督から、こう演じて欲しいという注文などはありましたか？

「監督からは最初に、『アニメの動きに合わせて“外から”声を入れるのではなくて、ルドルフになって、ルドルフの“中から”、内側から声を出すイメージでお願い』と言われました。その時はわかったような、わからないような気持ちでしたが、演じていく中で徐々に役がつかめてきて、監督のおっしゃっていた“中から”声を出すという意味がわかったんです。『ああ、こういうことなんだ』ってコツがつかめてきた時に、もう一度最初から収録させてもらえるようにお願いしました」

ーーアニメの猫の“中から”声を出すというのは、とても難しそうですね。

「難しかったですね。共演した鈴木亮平さんも苦労されていたみたいで、『相手の顔を見てお芝居をするのではなく、自分（鈴木さん演じるイッパイアッテナ）を見ながら、それを通して相手（ルドルフなど）を見るのが難しい』と言っていました。それが、監督がおっしゃっていた“外から”ではなくて、“中から”声を出すことなのだと思います。それと、声のお仕事の場合、色んな人の手によってほぼ完成された作品に、最後に声を入れるのでプレッシャーもありましたね」

ーー原作がある作品ということについては？

「原作を読んだ後に、『ルドルフとイッパイアッテナ』のサンプル映像を見せていただきました。原作は、児童文学ながら大人にも響くような深い言葉がたくさん詰まっている“大人向け”な作品であるのに対して、映像の絵柄がとても可愛らしかったので、映画『ルドルフとイッパイアッテナ』は子供から大人まで幅広い世代の方に見てもらいたいという意図を感じました。実際に演じるにあたっては、映像の方に寄せつつ、原作にあるルドルフの好奇心の旺盛さという部分をより意識しましたね」

ーー猫の鳴き声の練習をされたそうですが。

「ルドルフが飼い主のリエちゃんに甘える冒頭のシーンでは、以前飼っていた猫の甘えた声を思い出しながら演じたり、試行錯誤しました。お家でも練習をしていたのですが、今飼っているワンちゃんがすごく猫が苦手で…（笑）」

ーーワンちゃんのお名前はハグちゃんでしたっけ？

「はい。ボストンテリアの女の子で、とにかく臆病なんです（笑）。ちょっとでも猫の声が聞こえてくると警戒するので、私の猫の鳴き真似にハグが反応したら本物に近いんだなと思いながら練習していました。散歩しながら、不意打ちで鳴き真似をすると時々すごく反応して、猫を探し始めたりするので、ハグに手伝ってもらいながら練習をしていました」

愛犬・ハグちゃんの最大の魅力は“イナズマしっぽ”！

ーーハグちゃんの存在を一言で言うと？

「家族でもあり、子どものような存在でもあります。女の子ですけどときには弟のように感じる時もあります。お天気が悪かったら散歩に行けないなとか、仕事が何時頃に終わるからお散歩に行けるなとか、もし子どもがいたらこんな感じなのかなと思うくらい、常にハグのことばかり考えていますね」

ーーそんなハグちゃんのチャームポイントを教えてください。

「ボストンテリアはしっぽのない子が多いんですけど、ハグにはイナズマのようなしっぽがあるんです。イナズマしっぽがかわいくて、プンプンって振っている様子を見るだけで癒されます。散歩の『さ』の字を聞いただけで振ってますからね（笑）」

見どころいっぱいの『ルドルフとイッパイアッテナ』を楽しんでほしい

ーー『ルドルフとイッパイアッテナ』は、映像がとても綺麗な作品ですが、印象に残っているシーンを教えて下さい。

「ルドルフが寝ているところに桜の花びらがヒラヒラ舞ってきて、それを追いかけていく一番最初のシーンですね。あのルドルフのモフモフ感や毛並みがとても綺麗なんです。とても難しかったシーンでもあるので印象に残っていますね」

ーー劇中では、イッパイアッテナの教訓のようなセリフが出てきますが、その中でも特に印象に残っているセリフを教えて下さい。

「『絶望は愚か者の答えだ』というセリフにグッときました。『猫が言うことじゃないでしょ！？』っていう面白さもありますし（笑）。大人たちに響くのではないかなと思いました。世代に関係なく、前に進んでいくという意味で希望を持つことが大事なんだと、すごくドキっとしました。短いですがとても説得力のある言葉だと思います」

ーー最後に、PECOをご覧のユーザーの皆さんへ、メッセージをお願いします。

「『ルドルフとイッパイアッテナ』は、猫ちゃん・ワンちゃん好き関係なく、ペットを飼われている全ての人が共感できて、感動できる作品です。悲しいシーンもありますが、最後はきちんと前を向ける映画になっています。主人公たちのかわいさや、毛並みの細やかさなどの映像美もみどころですし、とにかくストーリーが素晴らしいので、是非たくさんの人に楽しんでいただけたらと思います」

Why Rotten Tomatoes is Bad for Film Criticism

Landon Palmer is a PhD Candidate in Communication and Culture at Indiana University currently completing a dissertation on rock ’n’ roll movies.
Aug 8, 2012

In the days leading up to the release of The Dark Knight Rises, Rotten Tomatoes found itself the gravitational Bizarro-world center of the film’s anticipation. In the comments section of the site’s review blurbs, negative — or “rotten,” in the parlance of the site — reviews were met with hyperbolic rage, sexist dismissal, and even death threats. The comments feature on the site was subsequently disabled, accompanied with a message from the Editor-in-Chief detailing the entire affair. Fingers were pointed directly and exclusively (and justifiably) at the commenters themselves for such disruptive and hateful rhetoric (though it should be noted that there were also plenty of comments that were altogether unremarkable).

The Internet’s usual suspects — the power of anonymity/avatars to protect the identity of hateful speakers; the unchallenged given that webspeak is somehow inherently hyperbolic; the understanding that there have always been stupid, angry reactionaries, but the Internet simply gives them a public voice — were on full display.

But in retrospect, several weeks after the furor has died down, it’s clear that there’s one question seemingly nobody asked in response, one that has at various moments plagued those who love and appreciate the art of film criticism: does the design of Rotten Tomatoes itself not invite exactly the type of high-decibel, absolutist discussion that the site subsequently attempted to quiet? When Matt Atichy wrote “This Is Why We Can’t have Nice Things,” shouldn’t those who value film criticism question the assumption within this response that the services provided by a site like Rotten Tomatoes are a “nice thing” to begin with?

Rotten Tomatoes — no matter its convenience for navigating reviews, no matter how many times we visit the site while conceding that critique of art shouldn’t be subject to a pseudo-scientific algorithm — has taken a role within the larger moviegoing conversation (both on the Internet and elsewhere) which far exceeds its actual value to the point that the site is, in fact, reducing the fun, value, and nuance of that conversation.

A few points before I get started…

First, I probably use Rotten Tomatoes for the same reason as you: to get a skin-deep notion of what a “critical census” that develops around a film to be. I typically avoid reading reviews before I’ve seen films that I’m invested in, so the numbers featured on Rotten Tomatoes provide some notion of a critical response (“critical consensus,” by comparison, is something that can only be argued, not tabulated) conveniently devoid of substance and content. Thus, Rotten Tomatoes can serve a purpose as an initial point of access, but never as a substitute for criticism itself.

My problem with the site is not necessarily what it does, but the elevated role it has played. The site’s popularity has hoisted Rotten Tomatoes to a place it does not deserve and probably never intended to be.

Secondly, Rotten Tomatoes is by no means the only site to blame here. Metacritic applies a similar, and equally problematic, algorithm to pretty much all avenues of modern media art and entertainment. But Rotten Tomatoes was the first (established in 1999, importantly the same time as the turn toward Web 2.0 and the establishment of many of today’s most foundational film sites) and because Rotten Tomatoes deals exclusively with film, it has taken a prescient role in film criticism that is particularly worrying.

A False Binary

I don’t often agree with Armond White, but in 2010 he stated this about Rotten Tomatoes…

[Sites like this] offer consensus as a substitute for assessment. Rotten Tomatoes readers then post (surprisingly vicious, often bullying) sniper responses to the reviews. These mostly juvenile remarks further shortcut the critical process by jumping straight to the so-called witticism. This isn’t erudition; as film critic Molly Haskell recently observed, “The Internet is democracy’s revenge on democracy.”

I disagree with White’s essentialist views on the Internet at large — that the Internet is always and can only be a place for superficial rhetoric, rather than a culture created in whatever image we’d like for it to be. There are plenty of great movie critics whose work has shown up exclusively on the Internet, and Internet-only accessories like the hyperlink and the video imbed provide the groundwork for a uniquely interdiscurisve, intertextual conversation unmatched in print (as opposed to the relative stasis of print, isn’t it fitting to talk about an evolving medium through another evolving medium?). But where White is in the right is in connecting the type of conversation of the site to the design of the site itself.

Rotten Tomatoes is not unlike a deliberately polarizing political website. There are substantive and informative political websites, there are political websites whose dry information reflects the depressing dead weight of journalism today, and there are websites meant as a self-fulfilling echo chamber whose sole mission is to routinely demonize the political other. With the exception of the proverbial “troll” daring to sweep in and represent another side, these sites function by being particularly self-isolated so that the conceptualizations of “self v. other” that make up its life force remains stable while completely undefined. Thus, a reductive binary (there’s “us” and “them”) is necessary to reiterate for the site to continue to function and gain traffic from a lowest-common-denominator readership.

Rotten Tomatoes manages to function with the same logic of one of these political websites while miraculously offering no perspective of its own. By reducing any discussion of a film’s worth and value into the categories of “Fresh” and “Rotten,” it constructs a simplistic binary that asks its audience to define themselves as part of one of two fields. It’s like juxtaposing a Keith Olbermann quote next to an Ann Coulter quote, both out of context, and letting their readership have at it.

Except the writers quoted on Rotten Tomatoes largely aren’t film criticism’s equivalent to pundits. They’ve written paragraphs discussing a film’s merits, and their opinion on a film may not fall squarely into a ridiculous fresh/rotten binary.

Thus, arbitrary distinctions are put in place to retain the false binary despite its contradictions. If a writer assigns films letter grades, for instance, a B- will place the review in the “fresh” category, while a C+ designates it“rotten.” Both are rather middling grades, ones that acknowledge that a film possesses positives and negatives. But the fact that Rotten Tomatoes doesn’t even bother to create a third category to identify films that are received straight down-the-middle (“eat soon”?) signifies a most unthinking approach the film criticism.

No Sense of Context
Perhaps one of the most frustrating developments since the popularity of Rotten Tomatoes is that it’s used as a meter of knowledge on other information aggregate websites. Several film articles on Wikipedia (which certainly has its shortcomings but, in its pursuit of actual information rather than consensus, has far greater credibility than RT) reference Rotten Tomatoes in order to provide evidence of a film’s reception, whether or not that film was released in the time period that Rotten Tomatoes actually existed.

This is a mistake, in part, on behalf of the editors of and contributors to Wikipedia, but it is rooted in a greater fallacy on Rotten Tomatoes: the “Tomatometer” aggregates reviews both new and old with equal weight, whether they be from a film’s original release, a re-release, or simply a critic’s reassessment years later. As a result, we have a percentage and binary designation completely devoid of context.

For instance, tracking a film like Vertigo, the Hitchcock film that recently dethroned Citizen Kane on Sight & Sound’s Top 50 list, entails encountering a virtual encyclopedia of disparate critical reaction. The film was divisive — treated interchangeably as a perplexity and a bore amongst some critics — upon its original release. Its status as a classic has been earned gradually, and any reviews subsequent to this status, unlike its reception in 1958, will treat Vertigo’s worth as a “given.”

Meanwhile, the film continues to be reevaluated. Its stance atop Sight & Sound’s list has brought new critical assessments of its work. “Overrated,” a term that accompanied Citizen Kane for decades, seems certain to be attached to Vertigo. How, then, can any claim for Vertigo’s critical “consensus” be made? How can initial reviews from 1958 and later assessments sit aside one another without any regard whatsoever for their different contexts of evaluation?

Everything on the Same Scale
On the surface, Rotten Tomatoes’s employment of numbers seems like a corrective of the jejune rotten/fresh binary. Besides the longed-for red and the dreaded green, can’t we concentrate on the numbers instead in order to evaluate films.

This component of Rotten Tomatoes openly invites one of the least productive instincts in engaging with film criticism, and that’s the tendency to evaluate everything on the exact same scale. Magic Mike, Brave, and The Amazing Spider-Man have relatively close scores. That the critical reaction to these films is slightly in favor of Magic Mike suggests that the Soderbergh film is the superior “winner” in competition between these three, as if they were all vying for the same Olympic medal. That the site tabulates the freshest films from actors, directors, and by years signals that Rotten Tomatoes invites this sense of competition amongst films.

It’s a box-office mentality re-appropriated for critical evaluation.

Besides the fact that comparing dissimilar films bears is of little functional use, once again context is absent: this two point difference tells me nothing about the fact that Brave was a relative letdown for Pixar and Magic Mike was a mid-summer surprise.

But what can tell me any of these things? The words in the reviews themselves, which Rotten Tomatoes conveniently provides a litany of links to.

In a sense, Rotten Tomatoes is an inevitable development. Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert gained fame outside the cinephile community because of their bi-directional thumbs. Here’s the rotten/fresh binary’s prototype. And, of course, the first instinct that many readers (myself included) manifest is seeking the grade a film is given, whether that be a number of stars or, like this site, a letter grade. But above that grade, or under those stars, is a review with evaluation, justification, and argumentation that, more often than not, can’t adequately fit in a blurb. What Rotten Tomatoes does is sever the content from that verdict. We shouldn’t be surprised that such a tendency invites thoughtless conversation.

Brad and Marion made the best of the awkward situation, given it was only a few months ago when allegations surfaced that he was cheating on Angelina Jolie, 41, with his new leading lady. However, his co-star quickly slammed the salacious claims while also confirming her pregnancy with her fiance, Guilliaume Canet on Oct. 24. Meanwhile, Brad seems to be focused on healing his family situation these days, recently thanking his fans for their support during his divorce.

She continued, “Marion is also stiff as she slightly leans towards him but their faces say there is nothing going on between them except for doing PR for the film. It is in stark contrast to when Angelina and Brad were on the red carpet for Mr. and Mrs. Smith and trying to hide their relationship. There you could see they had some thing to hide as they overcompensated in the photo with keeping a wide distance and his hand in his pocket.” Both co-stars seemed to play it cool for the cameras at the premiere, keeping it professional while promoting their upcoming project. Marion looked like a class act in her navy dress, while Brad was suave in his tailored suit.

At last he and Marion aren’t pretending the way he and Angie did during Mr and Mrs Smith. They both look good. Thank God he’s doing some activity instead of staying holed up at home. Causes more depression.

just praise the man, folks.

He looks great!Glad to see she hasn’t phased him. He looks happy, at peace and in his element.

It is NOT awkward. They are in a film together. There is nothing else than frienfship and respect. TIRED OF YOUR BS again. Stop fabricating stories. Plus Marion is pregnant from her husband. You have to be more respectful. You are a TRAS tabloid and everybody takes your for what you are: a bullsh.t

Angelina Jolie has borderline personality disorder and other mental problems, a long history of psychiatric problems. Brad Pitt loves his kids and so is trying to avoid having to use this information in court. He wants the children to survive this divorce intact, which is much more than anyone can say about Angelina Jolie who is vindictive to a degree most people cannot fathom. It does hurt that he wanted a divorce but using their children to get back at him is evil. She has no friends, and her relationships are all broken or twisted. Brad should only be blamed for choosing her to be the mother of his children. He has many friends, healthy long-term relationships, and is highly respected and warmly liked among his peers. That she is trying to take his children away from their loving, kind father simply proves that Angelina Jolie is a terrible mother and awful person

Smiling cause that wack job is gone.

He looks happier now that Angelina is out of his life... He's finally free

Angelina is a different kind of crazy and unfortunately she procreated.

Team Brad!!!!!

Ya know, Brad will always look good. Great genes I suppose. He looked a bit thin to me. Stress will cause weight loss tho. Glad to see him out and about.

You're going to be ok Brad. Right now you're dealing with the trauma of having been with someone who has a personality disorder..even her daddy said so. Get yourself some therapy and stay away from her forever.

You're right, he will have to deal with custody and parenting issues with her. However, the difference is that Brad is sexy and a seemingly decent, funny, caring guy. He will have no problem finding an amazing woman to stand by his side.
Angelina, on the other hand, has aged rapidly, can't have any more kids, has early menopause, 3 failed marriages that were ended by her, and no promising future in hollywood. I seriously doubt that she will be able to find a decent guy to put up with her and stand by her side the way Brad did for 12 years.
So he might have to continue to deal with her, but at least he has excellent chances of finding someone to go through it with him and support him!

She looks rather emaciated and extremely unhealthy now, she certainly has good looks but I think her inner turmoil and personal issues, as well as her operations, have really worn her down in the looks and health department.
and sorry, but her actions have only proven that she cares more about hurting Brad and his reputation than she does her children and what's best for them and their mental health.

She can't handle being in an open marriage either....She lied to get the DCFS to investigate Brad but what about HER ISSUES!

he's free of the crazy...

Your level of delusion is impressive.

Looking great Brad !! The best he's looked in Y E A R S !! whoohoo! Angelina had him lookin cray

What is "a little worse for wear" supposed to imply? He's lost weight & isn't wearing a tie? I think he looks pretty good considering.

I saw the Q&A and honestly did not get the impression of flirting. The way Marion and Brad interacted actually reminded me of the way Julia and Brad interact.

He looks amazing.

Damn is he good looking!

This man is FOINE!!!!

he looks sooo much better since he's not with insanegelina

Looks like he's lost a bit of weight, which is not surprising given how hard divorce is. He's still very attractive obviously but not quite as healthy looking as usual and looking closer to his age. But he'll bounce back.

He's been thru H E L L trying to make that women happy

I Wish he would get sole physical custody.

All he has to do is bring up the fact that she is MENTAL!

I think he looks hot!!!He reminds me of the old Brad -before Angelina

That's raggedy?

Getting back to the Brad we loved. He looks good.

Brad looks GREAT!

raggedy? he looks better than he has in a couple of years. come on over here, Brad. I'll take care of you.

Welcome back hot stuff!!!

She's a beast!

So what was 'still bad' in her eyes? That he smacked him when this spoiled brat needed it? She doesn't want these kids touched as far as disciple is concerned, letting them do whatever they please which is not right. He may have done that like any parent should have done and be able to do when the time comes and she is now acting like he killed the kid and acting like the lunatic she is.

Angelina's own father said she is a basket case who's had mental issues since she was a young child. Shes an evil wench that is trying to hurt Brad by getting full custody. Maddox is saying Brad isn't his father but that little ungrateful turd was adopted from Cambodia into a rich lifestyle.

I wonder why women always start about the husband mistreating the children during divorce proceedings. They never mention it during the marriage.

He still looks hot and far from raggedy

raggedy? hardly. he's looking really good. being away from hogelina has done wonders for him!
where are the pictures of him with marion? send hogelina over the edge with those. LOL!!!

She is a horrible mother - bringing up children isolated from other children, dragging them all over the world instead of seeing that they are settled in one place, going to school like other kids, meeting and playing with other kids. She is a whacko mother who doesn't beleve children need rules and discipline and structure in their lives. She is a kooky mother who wore her former ex's blood in a vial around her neck. She is a selfish mother who doesn't understand that kids need and love their father. She has held her oldest child too close to her for his well-being and look how he turned out. I would have smacked him one for sassing me if he were my kid and behaved like her Maddox did to his father. I am surprised any court thinks she is a fit mother for raising a group of growing kids.


He should get the kids and she should have supervised visitation. She is a horrible mother.

She's such a hag. Every parent has yelled at their teenage children. It comes with the territory. I hope the kids realize that their mother is a nutjob and ask to live with Brad. He's the sane one.

Awww somebody didn't get her way now she's going to say he's just "bad" anyone else call BS on her...

As a great grandmother let me tell you this crap.all these do folder, right wing, millennials are calling child abuse in most cases is just that a load of crap. Now sure real abuse occurs and should never happen, but discipling a child so jthey grow up to be respectful well mannered, appreciative adults is not east and not abusive. All this mess about hurt feelings, sensitivity, and personal space, security and all is making a generation of weaklings who will be like the people in the animated movie " Wall E", can't think or do for themselves.

Boy, she's really out to get him. What happened to the 12 years of her saying what a great father he is? He was just cleared of the child abuse charges and she's not accepting that. Those of us who have children and ESPECIALLY teenage children can be driven to madness by them. Maybe it was really bad, although I don't believe he physically abused Maddox. But for the sake of the marriage, 12 years together and the children, wouldn't it have been better to separate, cool down, get help and family counseling and try to put the things back on track before pulling the plug and demonizing Pitt?

you are suggesting that she behave like a normal human being and try to save her marriage. She is not normal in any sense of the word.

 No shit. The poor man was never guilty. Horrible for this father to be shamed.

Vituperative ex using her children to punish her ex spouse. Disgusting! Just get divorced

Real abuse is what they used to do back in the day with getting the belt...I feel bad for him that they put him through crap.

I'll bet Angelina is as crazy as a shit house rat.

 He looks like Brad again!!!

 where is he raggedy. Hes hot

Brad look raggedy ? Ha , not possible !

I'm glad he was cleared! Never doubted it!

I'm so glad Brad is curated of Child Endangerment!!! I didn't believe he would hurt anyone of his kids!!!

Brad looks better than ever!

Angie is a complete loose cannon and she should never have sole custody of her children

 I never thought Brad was guilty.

 obviously this man is good father nothing in his past says otherwise typical hit job I hope we all saw through

FBI spent more time on a loving father than the biggest slush fund in US history

Brad looks better than I have seen in awhile, sometimes it's just better to move on... peace to you and your children

Angie ' s erratic gender genes causing bad ju ju.

  there was never such abuse it was angie' way to cause trouble so she can move on to her billionaire - who has dumped her

Angelina is a ruthless woman

sometimes is better to be alone & not wth bad company

damn,  he looks good. Looks like huge burden just came off him. Reminds me of his prime days

You do you Brad. Don't let anyone bring you down

He looks good.

HE LOOKS LIKE MASSIVE CHAINS HAVE FALLEN AWAY FROM HIS
MIND AND SOUL !

Punish #AngelinaJolie for defaming #BradPitt

she should be charged with making false claims

What a evil  vindictive person to make such allegations against him..

Angelina Jolie is a woman going thru menopause & she's emotional, & has serious problems.

She is Crazy!!!!!

Brad Pitt Helped Save a Young Fan From a Rowdy Crowd on 'Allied' Set

May 24, 2016 @ 4:20 PM
By  Stephanie Webber

Hero status. Brad Pitt saved a young female fan from getting hurt while filming his upcoming drama, Allied, in the Canary Islands on Monday, May 23.

The dad of six, 52, was caught on camera waving and blowing kisses from on set to a crowd of screaming fans. He stopped and pointed to the little girl being pushed up against a fence before climbing over a barrier and coming to her aid. He appeared to tell other fans to move back to give her space.

Pitt's kind act didn't end there. In the video, the War Machine star — who is married to Angelina Jolie — was seen comforting the child, who appeared to be crying. Bodyguards then lifted her over the fence to safety, and the Oscar-winning actor continued to rub her back and soothe her as medics came to check on her.

Pitt was dressed in character at the time of the incident. The actor — who stars alongside Marion Cotillard, Lizzy Caplan and Matthew Goode — plays a French-Canadian spy in the Robert Zemeckis–directed thriller.
