Scarlett Johansson

I remember going to see Eyes Wide Shut and I saw it like three times in the theatre and the first time I saw it, I hated it. I had a visceral reaction to it I hated it so much. And then I was like, I have to see that movie again, I hated it so much. And then I loved it. I think in some ways I hated the emotional experience, it's like a visceral reaction. There's passion behind it. I can't ever totally fault a film that I absolutely hate

My favorite love story? - Probably WALL-E. It's an amazing love story, WALL-E and Eva, when the lights go out and when he gets rebooted, I just died, then he comes back.

The Act of Killing

In a place where killers are celebrated as heroes, these filmmakers challenge unrepentant death-squad leaders to dramatize their role in genocide. The result is a surreal, cinematic journey, not only into the memories and imaginations of mass murderers, but also into a frighteningly banal regime of corruption and impunity.
Scarlett Johansson
Actress
The Act of Killing which is a really great documentary.

Network

When veteran anchorman Howard Beale is forced to retire his 25-year post because of his age, he announces to viewers that he will kill himself during his farewell broadcast. Network executives rethink their decision when his fanatical tirade results in a spike in ratings.
Scarlett Johansson
Actress
My mom showed me a lot of movies when I was a kid—all of the movies that she loved. She loved musicals. She loved all those Elia Kazan movies. And then her passion really lies in those political thrillers from the ’70s and those [John] Cassavetes movies. She’s still an avid film consumer—she sees everything. But she’s a baby boomer, so the ’70s is her period. I’ve got to say, there’s nothing quite like watching Network [1976] as a 9-year-old .

Scarlett Johansson

And sometimes we read in bed. I just finished Prince Harry's memoir. It was great.

Middlemarch

This title includes introduction and notes by Doreen Roberts, Rutherford College, University of Kent at Canterbury. 'Middlemarch' is a complex tale of idealism, disillusion, profligacy, loyalty and frustrated love. This penetrating analysis of the life of an English provincial town during the time of social unrest prior to the Reform Bill of 1832 is told through the lives of Dorothea Brooke and Dr Tertius Lydgate and includes a host of other paradigm characters who illuminate the condition of English life in the mid-nineteenth century. AUTHOR: Mary Anne Evans (1819-1880), better known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist. She was one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. Her novels, largely set in provincial England, are well known for their realism and psychological insight. She used a male pen name, she said, to ensure that her works were taken seriously. Female authors were published under their own names, but Eliot wanted to ensure that she was not seen as merely a writer of romances. An additional factor may have been a desire to shield her private life from public scrutiny and to prevent scandals attending her relationship with the married George Henry Lewes

Marjorie Morningstar



Scarlett Johansson
Actress
This 1955 classic weeper “was one of my mother’s favorite books. It’s such a beautiful, tragic story. Marjorie is so full of gusto and romance.” A young girl from a conservative family, Morningstar dreams of being an actress but ultimately trades her ambition, and a passionate love affair, for a conventional suburban life. Johansson remembers a scene that involved kissing under the lilacs and notes: “Lilacs have always been my mom’s favorite flower, I think perhaps because of this book.”

J. D. Salinger's the Catcher in the Rye

"The Catcher in the Rye" is one of the most popular coming-of-age novels ever written, and its 17-year-old protagonist, Holden Caulfield, has become an icon of teen angst. The new full-length critical essays in this title provide a comprehensive critical look at this classic by J.D. Salinger. Master scholar Harold Bloom introduces the novel in this study guide, which also features a chronology, a bibliography, an index, and notes on the contributors.
Scarlett Johansson
Actress
Johansson first encountered the novel’s Holden Caulfield as a preteen. “There was a searching quality about him that affected me,” she says. “You know: someone who wants acceptance from his peers but also pushes them away.” Rereading Salinger’s era-defining debut as an adult, Johansson noticed the “simplicity of his writing. Now I’m better able to appreciate the purity of his words.”

Scarlett Johansson
Actress
“I loved learning about a culture that was unfamiliar to me,” Johansson says of the 2003 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. A portrait of a Greek-American family, it is also a coming-of-age story about a hermaphrodite initially raised as a girl. “It’s really about finding yourself in a traditional world that doesn’t allow much room to grow.”

Summer Crossing



Scarlett Johansson
Actress
This novel is about a young woman who carries on a doomed affair with a parking lot attendant. Johansson loved Capote’s reflective portrayal of “two people desperately in love in that frenzied first-love kind of way. Maybe because Capote struggled with his own identity early on, he developed more perspective on growing up.”

The somewhat dark children’s tale of a charismatic fox influenced Johansson’s career choice. “I attribute my love of drama to having heard her do all the characters’ voices.

Staring at the Sun

Scarlett Johansson
Actress
"Staring At The Sun." This is an alternate version and it is TV On The Radio. The reason why I picked this particular song is that this is a really great version of this song that's kind of pared down and you can really hear the depth of the vocals and brilliance of the songwriting, as opposed to the other version of the song which is much more produced and the vocals are kind of right up there in front, but alongside the music as well and the beat. This song shows another side to the band, that really shows the brilliance of their songwriting.
