Euphoria star Hunter Schafer reveals why the Brokeback Mountain scene between Rue and Jules was the most fun Episode 4 movie homage to film with Zendaya. WARNING! Spoilers ahead ➡️
Euphoria star Hunter Schafer reveals which movie montage from episode 4 was her favorite. In season 2, episode 4 of the HBO teen drama created by Sam Levinson, trouble continued for the characters. Cal revealed some difficult truths to his family and, on another front, the fraught love triangle between Cassie , Nate , and Maddy escalated to new heights. At least for a little while at the beginning of the episode, however, Rue and Jules get to experience a bit of imagined happiness.
At the start of episode 4, in classic Euphoria fashion, viewers are treated to a playful and stylized montage that shows Jules and Rue recreating classic moments from some of the most famous romance movies of all time. Some of the scenes that are glimpsed include Titanic, the animated Snow White, the 1990 hit Ghost, and Brokeback Mountain. Zendaya and Schafer put their own spin on each of these seminal classics, delivering their performances with giddy excitement.
“I mean, I love Brokeback Mountain. I also like [that] it’s also something I never would’ve thought I would be offered to emulate on film, so that was really cool. And that was fun for me and Z just because we got to do our Southern accents and act like kind of old withered Southern dudes who were secretly gay for each other. It was just fun on set for that. And also Ghost. I mean, I love that scene from Ghost, it’s so iconic.
The opening montage of Euphoria season 2, episode 4 is in line with the show not only in terms of stylistic flourishes but also in terms of how the characters see themselves as actors in their own movies and television shows. Rue even says as much earlier in season 2, essentially breaking the fourth wall.
In a sense, and to the disappointment of many, the same can be said for Rue and Jules. It’s been argued that there are many reasons why the two Euphoria characters shouldn’t be together, particularly since Rue appears to take to Jules as an excuse to remain sober. It’s a difficult storyline that wouldn’t have the same impact without the strong chemistry between Schafer and Zendaya.
