Michonne in The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead is a popular series featured on AMC where Danai Gurira has a leading role. In the post "Walking Dead: Michonne actress Danai Gurira talks katana skills" writer Gina McIntyre briefly describes talks about Danai's past experience with sword fighting, and how she has come to have such natural skills in her fighting techniques. This article by Gina McIntyre was insightful on the well loved character Michonne from The Walking Dead. I found it interesting and encouraging that the actress has put so much work into her katana skills in order for that to be swift and natural looking for the TV series. However, I do wish that more actors and actresses would put forward that much effort.
I have only watched The Walking Dead once but I did notice that she does a good job. Having the previous background in sword fighting type of skills does make it look much more realistic. I also agree with your thought that more actors/actresses should try what she has done.
ReplyDeleteI've never watched this, so I enjoyed reading this because I've seen things on Facebook about it and didn't really know what it was. It's really cool for an actress to put so much of herself into her work. That's why I like people like Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter who put themselves into their work so much.
ReplyDeleteI have only seen one episode of the Walking Dead but I could tell that a lot of time was spent on the Katana skills. Makes the scenes more intense and realistic.Also shows that the actor truly cares about their work by putting so much effort into their career.
ReplyDeleteI havent watched this show before but I heard good reviews about it. I think that it is really cool when the actor performs their own stunts and makes it more believable. I agree that more actors should put this amount of effort into their career as well as she does.
