The Toronto International Film Festival is often the place where Oscar-winning films are born, and the new film "Jackie" starring Natalie Portman is also one of them.

Portman played former US first lady Jacqueline Kennedy in the film. In the scene after President Kennedy was assassinated, Portman's performance was amazing and became a hot topic at the film festival. This is because many people believe that her Oscar nomination is a certainty.

Portman once won the Oscar for Best Actress for her performance in the 2010 film "Black Swan". She performed Jacqueline Kennedy's appearance and unique voice perfectly. She made a lot of preparations before filming.

“I read every biography I could find,” Portman recently told Business Insider. “We also went to the White House a lot for the shoot, which was really helpful in understanding how Jackie walked and moved and how her face performed. ”

In the film "The First Lady", Jacqueline Kennedy recalls to a reporter the assassination of President Kennedy and the planning process of the funeral. At the same time, the film shows Jacqueline's different personalities in front of different types of people. She appears to be socially inexperienced in public, but active and determined behind closed doors.

Portman grasped these character traits in her own research. She had listened to tapes of interviews between Jacqueline and biographer Arthur Schlesinger.

“Her voice becomes softer during the interview, and when you listen to her talking to Schlesinger at home, you hear the ice in the glass swishing back and forth, her voice getting deeper and her wisdom pouring out. ” Portman said, “So you can have an immersive sense of the conversation between the two parties. ”
