Evan Rachel Wood & Thandie Newton

Westworld

“This is a woman – a power – I recognize,” says Thandie Newton of her character, Maeve, an android (or “host”) prostitute in the Wild West who, like many of her fellow robots in HBO’s Westworld – a theme park where wealthy patrons pay to play out their darkest fantasies – gains sentience and begins to revolt against her overlords. “A lot of people in this world are sleepwalking,” she continues, “having our souls beaten out of us. Maeve, in a way, is doing what so many of us wish we could do. And she’s fucking naked!” Like Game oh Thrones before it, Westworld runs high in sex and violence, and examines why we as humans (and viewers) respond so viscerally to the basest of impulses. It’s a series in which the women – like Newton’s costar, Emmy-nominated Evan Rachel Wood, who plays Dolores, a host fighting for a life beyond the damsel-in-distress - don’t just drive the narrative, but also confront the series’ most compelling political and philosophical questions. “I would never be so bold as to think I know exactly what Dolores and Maeve represent,” Wood says, “but I think we all struggle to live the way we’re told to, that will keep us safe. But they are reminders of the power we have to break free.”
