Crystal Lowe doesn香蕉视频直播檛 enjoy playing the villain.

But when she landed a roll in the movie Wonder she knew it was a movie she wanted to be a part of, even if she had to play the person that nobody liked.

The Maple Ridge native plays the part of Julian香蕉视频直播檚 mother who is the main bully in the movie.

Wonder is based on the New York Times bestselling novel of the same title and it tells the story of a boy named August Pullman who has facial differences and goes to school for the first time in Grade 5.

The movie stars Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson and Jacob Tremblay.

香蕉视频直播淭he great thing about Wonder is you really get to see (bullying) from everybody香蕉视频直播檚 perspective. And I think that香蕉视频直播檚 what we are lacking you know in the world today,香蕉视频直播� said Lowe from her home in California.

香蕉视频直播淚 think that香蕉视频直播檚 the beauty of what Wonder brings. It bring perspective and empathy and trying to understand (bullying) from other people香蕉视频直播檚 point of view and why they come from those places and what makes them behave the way they do,香蕉视频直播� she said.

Lowe moved to Los Angeles only a month ago, even though, she said, the move actually makes it more difficult for her working in the industry than if she stayed put in Vancouver.

香蕉视频直播淭his is where a lot of the big productions get made and because I am venturing into producing and directing, I just have to be here for a little while. Make the rounds here,香蕉视频直播� said the actress.

Lowe started out as a child actor when she was about 4-years-old but her mother pulled her out of it because she felt it was too competitive between the parents. She told her daughter that as soon as she could drive herself to auditions then she would have her permission to enter the industry again. So, as soon as Lowe turned 16 she told her mom she was going back. She contacted Tyler Labine, another actor from Maple Ridge, and his mother hooked her up with an agent and became her temporary stage mom and manager.

Now the actress has 78 films under her belt and counting.

Currently she is working on another series called Signed, Sealed, Delivered, for the Hallmark Channel.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 with the creator of Touched By An Angel and it香蕉视频直播檚 been going on for four years,香蕉视频直播� Lowe explained.

香蕉视频直播淚 just want to be a part of things that are uplifting and our show is very uplifting. We need it,香蕉视频直播� she said.

Lowe believes the world needs more movies like Wonder.

香蕉视频直播淭he world is a strange, crazy place right now and I think we desperately need films like this. While I don香蕉视频直播檛 think all hope is lost for adults, I really really want to invest in the children,香蕉视频直播� said Lowe.

香蕉视频直播淭hey are going to come with an open heart. And, the majority of them, if we can speak to them now before the world kind of gets to be that scary and teach them how to have an open heart, then that can change a whole generation,香蕉视频直播� Lowe noted.

Lowe likes the fact that the character that she plays is not the most likeable character in the movie.

香蕉视频直播淵ou understand Julian a little more when you meet his parents,香蕉视频直播� she said, adding that Julian香蕉视频直播檚 mom doesn香蕉视频直播檛 necessarily think she is a villain, she is just protecting her own son.

香蕉视频直播淣o mother thinks that they香蕉视频直播檙e a villain. They think that they are protecting their son at all costs and I think that香蕉视频直播檚 the issue we need to address,香蕉视频直播� said Lowe.

香蕉视频直播淲e only see other people as bad guys or good guys or bullies or not bullies. We have no idea where they are coming from and why,香蕉视频直播� she continued.

If we want bullying to stop, says Lowe, we have to spend time with our children. And, she added, if we want the dialogue to remain open then movies like Wonder are the ones we must take our children to, and have a discussion afterward.

香蕉视频直播淚 remember being a kid. I hated telling my parents stuff. But if it was in casual conversation because it was in a movie and we were talking about the movie and not necessarily my personal experience, I would have talked to my parents more because I wouldn香蕉视频直播檛 think it would feel like so much pressure,香蕉视频直播� she said.

Having a conversation about what is right and what is wrong is the beauty of Wonder.

香蕉视频直播淭his movie offers that to parents and kids which is amazing.香蕉视频直播�

Wonder is currently showing at Cineplex Odeon Meadowtown Cinemas, 19800 Lougheed Hwy, Pitt Meadows, in the Meadowtown Shopping Centre.
