“I want the rocks. I just want a silent movie. Sometimes I’m like, “What if I got to do a silent movie where I play Charlie Chaplin or something?” That’s where my brain goes.”

For people who haven’t watched the film, the rocks scene is a silent scene in the movie where two rocks could be seen with text as their dialogues, the rocks are supposed to be Michelle Yeoh and Stephanie Hsu’s characters in the scene.

How does Stephanie Hsu Feel About her Oscar Nomination

In the same interview, Stephanie Hsu was asked about how she felt about being nominated to the Academy Awards, and the actress commented that it was one of the few feelings that people experience in life.

“It feels surreal for many reasons, but I’ve been reflecting on how few people ever experience what I’m going through — as humans and actors. If I get to live to be 95, and I’m retired in a bingo hall, they will announce me as “Tonight’s winner for bingo is onetime Academy Award nominee Stephanie.””

The actress played two characters in the movie, that is, Joy, the real-world version of Evelyn’s daughter, the role required a dramatic and emotional performance from her, and the other was the role of the multiverse antagonist, Jobu Tupaki, an evil version of Joy.

The movie was hilarious and cartoonish with a sci-fi plot, but the cast has to nail their roles so that the film connected with the audience. Hsu’s role in the movie was praise-worthy and her villainous role was outstanding and a contrasting visual representation of what she portrays as Joy.
