Nearly two decades ago, director Tyler Perry was calling the star Taragi B. Hinson to play increasingly intense roles.
“I feel that every text sends to me, and it raises it,” Hinson told Decider in an interview with Zoom recently. “He challenges me, and I really respect it.”
Their last cooperation, Straw-Steflix on June 6-a 54-year-old an Oscar nominated as a single mother named Janiyah, who works two jobs and is still struggling to pay her rent. On a particularly bad day, she starts with her daughter asking $ 40 for lunch and finishing with a bank at gunpoint, finally settled.
Saying that it is a horrific, emotional role. Janet cry, cry, put out, and collapse because she endures endless suffering, from losing her job to her evacuation. But Hennson is often pushing criticism by Perry-as it is known for Melodra, as is the case with his personality comedy-bruises with black shock.
“I hear many people who offer [Perry] Flack. “It is the most black shock!” Hinson said: “Well, we have a lot of it. The only way to recover is to talk about it.”
Hinson spoke to a decision about photographing that shock, working with Perry, and cleaning it with a brush fuchsia Oscar Snub.

Resolution: This is your fourth movie with Tyler Perry. What makes you come back, and how has your business relationship have evolved over the years?
Taraji P. Henson: I think it begins with such mutual respect for each other. We both Vergus, so we know how to think, we know how we wireless. This is because we have worked with each other for a long time, and on many projects. We can complete each other. It will be through the room, I am all over the room, and I get it. I know exactly what you are looking for. There is a decline and flowing with each other. That is why we make the art that we make. What I really appreciate is that he constantly raises the tape for himself, and after that he will do so for me. I feel like every text sends to me, raising it. It raises the game of the other degree. He challenges me, and I really respect it.
to Straw, Tell me how two of you worked together to build this character, Janiyah Wiltkinson. How do you compare that with your first cooperation with him?
The first movie that you did was The family that emergesAnd she played more than a comic comfort in it. then, I can do all of that myself It was more dramatic with some moments of comedy. then Intensity It was like, “What a wonder!” [Laughs.] He really knows these characters he writes. Everything was on the page, to be completely honest. Then I came and do what I do, and I do behind me, and hands. What he appreciates – this is what he says – is that I will see him parts of the character he did not see. This makes our cooperation well.
What I hear is that it continues to give you more and more people with shock over the years!
As you know, the only way to heal the shock is to deal with it, and talk about it. I hear many people [Perry] FLACK, “It's the most black shock!” Well, we have a lot of it. The only way to recover is to talk about it. This is our problem with black society. We want to ignore, pretend that things did not happen, but it is the only way to heal them. You do not overcome it. You go through it.
Janiyah feels more shy person than the audience is used to seeing you playing. How did you communicate with it, and with your shy side?
As I said, it was on the page. She is a woman who does not feel a vision. People who do not feel watch – I try to equate them to love an animal. She is very Moses. She does not talk to herself. But she finds herself in these terrible situations, and one thing leads to another position much worse than the first position. As human beings, we all have a collapse point. You will break if you do not have a support system. It is unfortunate that she must go through all this, in one day, to be seen finally.
My favorite scene in the movie is your great emotional speech on the phone. I read it was a very fast shooting, only four days. Was there pressure to get this talk in just a few years?
One thing in the Tyler group is that you will never feel the pressure. You will feel safe. It is very care. It gives you all the space in the room you need. How do I work with my machine, if I cannot remember a line – or if I drop a line or if I forget where I am in these large monologues – what I love, and the way I work is that I let it breathe. I'm not going, “cut! I forgot the line!” Stay at the present time.
No one speeds me to do this monologue, because I am supposed to have hostages. So where do they go? All we have is the time. Take my time, stay at the moment, and let the words find me. Often when someone is broken, sometimes they cannot find words. I rely on that. I allow myself to be at the moment, and I just drop.

Tell me about your reaction to the end of this development. I didn't expect it!
I was not! When I was reading it, I was like, “Oh! Cinnamon!” [Laughs.]
How did you merge this into your performance, that her daughter has died the night before?
Read the scenario, I was in the vast. But then it was logical, in its actions. Because what I have shown to me is that she had been picked up a long time ago. I was taken the day before. It was only on the automatic. She was not even in her body, to be very honest. I just played the truth of life, as if nothing happened.
I felt so relieved that she did not die in the end, although you are our fake comrades. Was there a copy of the time ago as this was the end, where she died?
He was. then [Perry] He said: “I cannot do it for her, and the audience, because this will only kill them.” For this reason, he ended it with the way he did, which I thought was great.
It seems that you have done a lot in your career: drama, comedy, musical plays. Is there any role or type that you have not got a chance to try yet, or do you want to do more?
I did not play evil. I am dying to play the villain. So if you have any contacts … [Laughs.]
I thought you deserved Oscar for fuchsiaAnd you were angry on your behalf in Snub. Is this kind of things to you at all – from appreciation from some Hollywood institutes?
No, you are used to that. It was the first solid pill that swallowed Hidden numbersWhen I did not get a nomination. I left it. For me, it comes to the public, and how it affects them in a positive way. I feel that my fans take it more difficult than me. I will allow you, comrades, dealing with that! But when someone says, like you, it looks like that, well, someone sees it. I shouldn't say anything.
My last question is for you, since the decision is about TV and films that you can flow: What are you doing now?
I just finished Forever. For the first time, I see Mrs. Maysel, the wonderful. I never saw that, and I got me strangled! I was also told to see Better sister. I see it on the way back to Los Angeles, because I hear this is good. This is what I am looking for.
