The American actress Drew Barrymore, who recently made debut like director in “Whip it”, indicated that she identifies with the history and the “implicit metaphor” of his prime opera. “Yes, I identify myself with history in all the aspects, from my childhood. I happened per very peculiar moments and difficult”, the actress in an exclusive interview published by the Salvadoran metropolitan newspaper said today the Newspaper of Today. The film is carried out by Ellen Page in a history on the adolescence of a lover of the independent rock that discovers its love by the figure skating. It considered that the skating races are a “perfect metaphor” of their life, since prefers to be she herself instead of to try to be the person who the others want that it is. “That yes me would make unfortunate completely. For that reason the subject of the film and the metaphor are completely certain in relation to my experiences”, insisted the actress. In “Whip it”, the personage of Bliss Cavendar, that interprets Page, “is locked up in the beauty contests”, related Barrymore, that commented that either it does not like “they lock up that it within the world of Hollywood”. “I never wanted that they place to me within no box, classifying to me in which one assumes that I must do or in how I must see me or act”, even added.Whip It :
