ALITA PEIG MOVIE

Alita: Battle Angel is hoping to get the attention of Academy voters for a VFX nod and all you have to do is watch the film to see why it’s worthy.Īlita: Battle Angel takes a character that should have been firmly in uncanny valley territory and makes her one of the most endearing characters we’ve seen all year, fully realized and deeply human. Whatever the case, no matter how much she weighs, Alita looks awesome onscreen. But some might see it as an inconsistency. I sort of take this as a combination of Doc Ido being strong and Alita’s sinking having something to do with her being less buoyant. But we also see Doc Ido lift her, both from the scrap yard and after her fight with Grewishka. For example, while in the doll body, she sinks easily to the bottom of the lake where the URM ship is crashed. In Alita: Battle Angel, there are moments that make her seem extraordinarily heavy and others that seemingly contradict that. The question of Alita’s weight is something of a mystery because of how heavy she is in both the manga and film. Rosa Salazar knew all of this and took it into her performance when moving around as the character. And while Alita has no difficulty powering this body, it is also not meant to her and that’s why we later see her drawn to another body. This body, given to Alita by Doc Ido and originally designed for his daughter, is meant to be lighter. The first body we see Alita get in the film is a bone-colored body that looks like porcelain covered in filigree.

As Jon Landau told Sean, Alita’s two bodies in Alita: Battle Angel are played as each having a different weight. How was she performing that? And I think that's what she did an exceptional job at.Īfter producer James Cameron worked on Alita: Battle Angel for years before handing off to director Robert Rodriguez, along with hundreds of pages of notes, Alita’s weight is something that they accounted for and something that informed the film and the performances. And, Alita and her strength, she's able to carry it and carry that weight, but it's something that was more important for Rosa Salazar to understand and come to terms with as an actress. When she goes to the Berserker Body, that's a much heavier body. And that's what Alita enters our story with. So he needed to build that at a light enough weight where she could move, and move naturally. For the first body, which I refer to as ‘the doll body,’ which is a body that Ido, her father, had built for his daughter who had been paraplegic.

We play the two bodies that she's in in the movie as having a different weight - each one having a different weight.
