Jessica Alba learned a little something about acting "discipline" when she did that television show that made her a star, James Cameron's Dark Angel."Three hours-long training every day for two years," she says of the 2000-2002 series of science fiction that has her playing a super-super warrior buff, all curves and spandex.
Difficult? Sure. But that was nothing compared with what she had put herself through her latest, The Eye, which opens today. It plays a blind violinist who has recovered from his eyes, only to see the dead and more life. She had to be convincing musical. She had to be convincingly blind.
"I have never done anything this hard in my life," says Jessica Alba, 26. "Every orchestra musician with whom I spoke told me, 'Oh, it's the most difficult to play," and they are right. Everything has been a challenge, from the positioning of the violin on my neck for bowing. And I am now learning To do this with their eyes closed! "
Jessica Alba for the fourth film to emerge in the last 12 months, it had to find a little time to prepare. And not just to watch the 2002 Japanese J-horror film, she was to repeat, either.
"Administrators are enormous-lovers of classical music. First, they gave me all these discs of Mozart and Beethoven to listen.
"Then I watched a lot of tapes Anne-Sophie Mutter. I picked up a lot of things to look at it a bit, the way she holds her head, her posture when it is required of the instrument, its "hi", the look She gets on his face. So passionate!
"Then I took six months of violin lessons. That was the killer. Vibrato just, oh, it gave me the hardest time.

"I met this great girl, Jessica Alba, a blind student at Boston University, followed for a long time. Blindness is not a limitation of his, not that I could tell. She was dedicated, meticulous, wants to be Face to face with you when you talk. If she wears a pair of sunglasses, you can not even say that it is blind. She speaks three languages and has a level of sentencing to which inspired me. "

Tips and the "hottest in the world" and its determination to work all the time have made him an easy target of resentment. And the critics. Several of his recent films have not received the best reviews, which prompted the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation to designate its three "Razzies" this year for his last three films.
But they - we - Jessica Alba will not have much around to give a kick, and quickly. She is pregnant, and if nothing else than cutting back on its productivity.

I have no plan, no idea how I will work around the career of this motherhood thing. I do know this, though. Whatever I choose to do, professionally, it will be something that I am so passionate that I can not do it. "
