At the
film's Los Angeles press day, Woodley talked about how Jennifer Lawrence encouraged her to take the role, what she shares in common with her character and how they differ, what inspired her to take a
course in urban survival skills, what the experience was like doing many
of her own stunts, her most memorable sweaty palm moments, zip - lining
over the streets
of Chicago and climbing the Navy Pier Ferris Wheel, her challenging fight sequence finale with Theo James, working again with Miles Teller, and what she
learned about herself in the process
of making her first large scale studio movie.
We are filmmakers and not educators, but what we've
learned over the
course of making this
film is that in this country, a traditional education does not encourage thinking, instead it encourages conforming to a system that doesn't value the individual child and completely misses the point when it comes to
learning.
