The Pale Blue Eye Spoiler Interview: Lucy Boynton and Harry Lawtey
20[Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for The Pale Blue Eye.]
Performing rituals that require a sacrifice in order to lengthen one’s own life is plain old wrong, but The Pale Blue Eye stars Lucy Boynton and Harry Lawtey were challenged to put themselves in the Marquis children’s shoes to fully understand why they’re willing to go that far to cure Lea (Boynton) of her affliction.
The adaption of the Louis Bayard novel sees Christian Bale’s Augustus Landor brought to West Point to investigate not the death of a cadet, but rather, the odd thing that happened after the body was brought to the morgue. The deceased cadet’s heart was cut out and taken. Ultimately it’s revealed Lea, Artemis (Lawtey), and their parents (Gillian Anderson and Toby Jones) are the responsible parties, taking the heart to perform a ritual that will help cure Lea of a condition that dooms her to a short life.
While the Marquis family wasn’t responsible for that cadet’s death — that crime was committed by Landor himself — they do ultimately reach a point where they’re willing to take another life in order to save Lea’s. How exactly does one hit the point where they’re willing to kill? That’s what I discussed with Lawtey and Boynton during our Pale Blue Eye interview.
