Alicia Vikander walked into the hotel room and jumped onto the sofa effortlessly with the grace she had learned from her childhood ballet lessons. She asked me very politely if she could take off the zebra print heels she was wearing because her feet were almost too tired to feel.

I laughed because I had just enjoyed her wonderful performance with her counterpart Matt Damon in the thriller "The Bourne Supremacy" directed by Paul Greengrass, which is the latest espionage action film.

She plays Heather Lee in the movie, a cyber operations expert at the CIA. Unlike the polite Alicia in real life, Heather is clearly not a pushover in the film. “Action! ”After her character took control of the computer terminal, she issued orders to her subordinates.

Yes, someone did act immediately upon Alicia's order. Because the other actors who played the computer analysts were real computer operators who were hired to add a bit of authenticity to the film, these operators were very fast.

Alicia, who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for starring opposite Eddie Redmayne in the movie "The Danish Girl," said people who haven't seen "The Bourne Supremacy" accused her of merely playing a character's "love interest" in the movie.

“This was never in the script, and we never had any discussion of this scenario. "We have to start from scratch," she told me, "and we have to stop this perception of actresses in movies as vases." ”

“But I think everything is changing, and it takes our own efforts to make sure that vases are no longer the common perception of women. ”

Alicia told me that playing a character like Heather was part of her planning process, which had been slow to begin for some time.

When we met, Theresa May had just entered the black door of No. 10 Downing Street. Alicia hopes for a day in the future when we no longer have to make comments about women who are prime ministers or running for president of the United States, but rather respect them as much as we respect men.

During pre-production on The Bourne Supremacy, she realized her character was supposed to go to college and study with the elite police force at one of America's top Ivy League schools. These people will be very in demand right after graduation. The CIA and other intelligence agencies will also compete to recruit the best and brightest among them.

Watching Heather interact with her superior, Jones, is a lot of fun. He is her commander, but you can almost see her plotting how to take his power. “She realized her time was coming. ”Alicia said. She and Damon work very well together, and if there is another "Bourne" movie, everyone would be happy to see them work together again.

But at the same time, Alicia has a lot of work. She will work with James McAvoy again in "Submergence" directed by Wim Wenders. The film is adapted from J.M. Legard's novel of the same name, in which Alicia will play an oceanographer.

After finishing filming this movie, Alicia will star in "Euphoria" with Eva Green and Charlotte Rampling.

"The Light Between The Oceans" premiered at the Venice Film Festival. In this film, Alicia plays the wife of a lighthouse keeper, played by "Fassbender" Michael Fassbender. The film is adapted from M.L. Steadman's heartbreaking novel, which is set in Western Australia and tells the story of a childless couple looking for a baby.

The next "Tomb Raider" will be launched next year, but Alicia did not disclose the relevant content.
