‘Child of God’ star slept in caves preparing role Associated Press Writer
VENICE, Italy — Scott Haze says he spent three cold months living in the mountains of Tennessee, subsisting on one piece of fish and one apple a day, and sleeping in caves to prepare for the role of deranged killer Lester Ballard in the film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s novel “Child of God.” “I knew that this was a role that I had to go to crazy extreme lengths,” Haze said in an interview Saturday ahead of the film’s world premiere in competition at the Venice Film Festival. Haze’s Lester Ballard descends into violence after being kicked off his family’s land and losing his parents, moving outside the social order into caves where he abandons himself to extreme degradation. McCarthy’s character was inspired by reallife killer and body snatcher Ed Gein, who also was the basis for the Norman Bates character in “Psycho,” and Leatherface of “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” To prepare for the Ballard role, Haze said he dropped from 195 pounds to 150 pounds (88 kilograms to 68 kilograms) on the apple-and-fish diet while living in a cabin in the Tennessee mountains, sleeping at times in caves, often without a sleeping bag, until the December temperatures

dropped too low. “I slept in caves many nights with bats all around. It was crazy,” Haze said. “I let everything go, just hung out with the hillbillies and stayed as isolated as possible.” The only thing he took with him “from society”: an iPod loaded with Eminem music. Director James Franco said Haze took off for the hills without consulting the director and showed up to shoot not only looking the part — undernourished, ratty beard and disheveled — but acting it. Haze “didn’t really talk to anyone, stayed to himself, and was like that for the whole shoot,” Franco told reporters. The director said audiences may think he “found some maniac in the woods and shot him.

But it is Scott giving the performance of a lifetime.” Haze said he managed to stay “in the mind-state” while filming, conceding he was “not in this world.” He didn’t check his phone, text messages or even how his beloved Lakers were doing. “I thought, at the end of the day, we’d have a great movie and James and I would hug each other and say we did it.” Haze said. He hopes people will look back on “Child of God” as film as pivotal as “Taxi Driver,” ‘’which was really shocking back in the day. And we get to say, ‘Hey, we did something special, and I think we did.’” Haze and Franco, longtime collaborators, are part of a clutch of young performers in Los Angeles who are not just acting, but writing and directing films and theater.

DENPASAR - A number of lineups judged the leadership of Governor Mangku Pastika over the past five years has not been in favor of the growth of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) So far, the government is considered to only roll out many programs without overseeing the development of the MSMEs ranging from the upstream to downstream to keep them strong. An economist from the Warmadewa University, I Wayan Arjana, said the MSMEs in Bali only became an imaging object of the politicians in political campaigns. Meanwhile, the problems faced such as the quality of products, market and capital were never resolved until today by the leaders elected by the MSMEs. “When making a campaign, all social visits to the markets were
filled with sweet promises that they would struggle and promote the MSMEs, but after serving they forget their promises,” complained Arjana in Denpasar. According to him, the government had not maximally assisted the MSME entrepreneurs. The government should help the absorption of the products yielded by the MSMEs, so that they could survive and thrive.
He hoped the government could pay attention to the smallest business people namely the producers of raw materials, producers, products yielded by local entrepreneurs to the distribution to the hands of consumers. “The government should not only work behind the desk, but should go down to resolve the problems of local businessmen from the upstream to downstream,” he said. The Dean of the Faculty of Eco-
nomics, Warmadewa University, I Gusti Ngurah Sanjaya, formerly recognized that Bali government should pay more attention to the MSMEs that so far got minimal attention. Such attention was very important in order the MSMEs could have competitiveness. Moreover, the current competition was getting tougher after the enactment of the free trade with some countries. “Indeed, the government has given the attention, but less maximal. As a result, our MSMEs remain weak in terms of management in a broad sense. Likewise, the government has not been maximal in handling the MSMEs as a whole such as in terms of its human re-
sources, materials and other capital,” he said. He said the government should be able to provide favorable business climate, easy and inexpensive licensing, open markets and others because the contribution of the Bali’s MSME sector to the economy was huge. At the moment, the sector absorbed the greatest labor force. Low unemployment rate in Bali was one of the contributions given by the MSME sector. “The attention of other parties such as investors should also help the MSMEs. So far, they helped the local MSMEs half-heartedly so they ultimately stick around the sector only,” he said. (kmb27)
