518
00:27:34,590 --> 00:27:37,760

525
00:27:53,300 --> 00:27:58,030

526
00:27:58,030 --> 00:27:59,530

531
00:28:09,120 --> 00:28:10,620
{\an7}{\pos(86,243)}I practically fainted.

00:28:13,630 --> 00:28:16,130
{\an7}{\pos(67,243)}and shook his hand and, uh,
534
00:28:16,630 --> 00:28:18,630
{\an7}{\pos(105,228)}\h\h\huh, actually,
{\an7}{\pos(105,243)}I curtsied to him,

537
00:28:23,420 --> 00:28:28,810
{\an7}{\pos(48,213)}He was funny and full of life

539
00:28:31,140 --> 00:28:34,680

540
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:36,980
{\an7}{\pos(96,228)}\h\h\h\hI even saved

541
00:28:38,350 --> 00:28:41,740
{\an7}{\pos(76,213)}And I also decided that

00:28:41,740 --> 00:28:43,820

544
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:49,160
{\an7}{\pos(67,228)}\h\h\h\hAnd I said, "Well,

00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,610
{\an7}{\pos(48,228)}"because I am gonna bring him

547
00:28:54,330 --> 00:28:58,120

00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,620

{\an7}{\pos(76,243)}by doing the following.
549
00:29:00,620 --> 00:29:04,010
{\an7}{\pos(57,243)}I put falsies on and I made,

{\an7}{\pos(86,228)}"Monty, I want, I want

00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,020

{\an7}{\pos(76,28)}[CHUCKLING] or something.
557
00:29:19,140 --> 00:29:20,640
{\an7}{\pos(134,28)}And he said,

00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,110
{\an7}{\pos(48,28)}"What do you want to ask me?"
559
00:29:22,110 --> 00:29:25,310
{\an7}{\pos(86,28)}And so I said, "I want

560
00:29:25,310 --> 00:29:30,700

562
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,320

565
00:29:41,210 --> 00:29:42,410

566
00:29:42,410 --> 00:29:43,920
{\an7}{\pos(105,243)}I said, "Why not?"
567
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,420

713
00:37:57,240 --> 00:37:59,410
{\an7}{\pos(105,243)}But, uh, he said,
714
00:37:59,410 --> 00:38:01,410
{\an7}{\pos(57,243)}"I refuse to sign a contract
715

{\an7}{\pos(115,228)}\hHe knew this.
{\an7}{\pos(115,243)}Monty knew that.
717
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,140
{\an7}{\pos(57,243)}It was his own independence.
718
00:38:11,140 --> 00:38:14,140
{\an7}{\pos(86,228)}\hVery important that
{\an7}{\pos(86,243)}Monty be independent.

{\an7}{\pos(57,213)}\h\hInsisting on his privacy
{\an7}{\pos(57,228)}in public meant that he could

722

{\an7}{\pos(105,228)}\h\h\hJAMES: He was

723
00:38:31,190 --> 00:38:34,860
{\an7}{\pos(76,243)}about his homosexuality.

00:38:34,860 --> 00:38:38,450

00:38:38,450 --> 00:38:42,290
{\an7}{\pos(96,228)}\hAnd yet, Monty had

726
00:38:43,290 --> 00:38:46,290
{\an7}{\pos(96,228)}He did have affairs

727
00:38:46,290 --> 00:38:48,930

729
00:38:51,010 --> 00:38:53,460
{\an7}{\pos(67,228)}That question of who Monty

730
00:38:53,460 --> 00:38:56,050
{\an7}{\pos(76,228)}\h\h\h\h\hwas a point of

731
00:38:56,050 --> 00:39:00,350
{\an7}{\pos(38,213)}-Did you ever ask Lorenzo if...
{\an7}{\pos(86,228)}-EDDIE: I just asked
{\an7}{\pos(86,243)}\h\h\hhim one thing.
732
00:39:00,350 --> 00:39:04,230
{\an7}{\pos(86,228)}I said, "Did Monty ever

00:39:04,230 --> 00:39:06,230

734
00:39:06,230 --> 00:39:08,110
{\an7}{\pos(57,243)}I think, uh, Marilyn Monroe.
735
00:39:08,110 --> 00:39:09,900
{\an7}{\pos(48,228)}-ROBERT: And Elizabeth Taylor.
{\an7}{\pos(48,243)}\h-EDDIE: Or Elizabeth Taylor.
736
00:39:10,110 --> 00:39:12,780
{\an7}{\pos(67,228)}I can’t remember which one
{\an7}{\pos(67,243)}I, I cared about the most.
737
00:39:12,780 --> 00:39:16,200

738
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:17,620

739
00:39:18,620 --> 00:39:19,620
{\an7}{\pos(115,243)}He said yes, so,
740
00:39:19,620 --> 00:39:22,240
{\an7}{\pos(48,228)}I think it was Elizabeth Taylor
{\an7}{\pos(48,243)}I must have asked about, yeah.
741
00:39:22,710 --> 00:39:24,210
{\an7}{\pos(96,228)}ROBERT: Why was that
{\an7}{\pos(96,243)}\hthe big question?
742
00:39:24,210 --> 00:39:25,660
{\an7}{\pos(76,228)}\h\h\hEDDIE: Just because
{\an7}{\pos(76,243)}I think she’s hot or...
743
00:39:25,660 --> 00:39:27,170
{\an7}{\pos(86,243)}[LAUGHS] I don’t know.
744
00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:30,170
{\an7}{\pos(86,213)}\h\h\h\hI don’t know.
{\an7}{\pos(86,228)}I just wanted to know,

745
00:39:30,170 --> 00:39:32,970

746
00:39:32,970 --> 00:39:36,310
{\an7}{\pos(57,228)}and, you know, but he wasn’t

747
00:39:37,310 --> 00:39:38,230

748
00:39:38,230 --> 00:39:39,560
{\an7}{\pos(76,228)}or was it Elizabeth that
{\an7}{\pos(76,243)}\h\h\h\h\hI cared about?
749
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:41,150

{\an7}{\pos(67,243)}\h\hI thought it was both.
750
00:39:41,150 --> 00:39:44,100
{\an7}{\pos(67,228)}You told me, the next day,

751
00:39:44,100 --> 00:39:45,850

752
00:39:45,850 --> 00:39:49,100
{\an7}{\pos(76,228)}Because I had just read

{\an7}{\pos(57,228)}\h\h\h\h\h♪ And it soon ends
{\an7}{\pos(57,243)}We’re waltzing in the wonder
1413
01:17:53,940 --> 01:17:57,720
{\an7}{\pos(86,243)}♪ Of why we’re here ♪
1414
01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:01,890
{\an7}{\pos(67,213)}ROBERT: The idea of Monty’s
{\an7}{\pos(67,228)}\hbrokenness has persisted
{\an7}{\pos(67,243)}\h\h\h\h\hall these years.
1415
01:18:01,890 --> 01:18:03,950
{\an7}{\pos(86,228)}\h\h\hAnd I don’t know
{\an7}{\pos(86,243)}if it can ever change.
1416
01:18:04,950 --> 01:18:07,120
{\an7}{\pos(76,228)}Hollywood has threatened
{\an7}{\pos(76,243)}\h\hto do a Monty biopic
1417
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:10,070
{\an7}{\pos(115,228)}every few years
{\an7}{\pos(115,243)}since the 1980s.
1418
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:13,240
{\an7}{\pos(48,243)}And if they ever pull it off,
1419
01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:16,160
{\an7}{\pos(67,228)}I’m afraid it’s just going
{\an7}{\pos(67,243)}to be the same old story.
1420
01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:19,160
{\an7}{\pos(57,243)}EASTON: It is a tragic story.
1421
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:23,080
{\an7}{\pos(67,28)}But at the core of that is,
{\an7}{\pos(67,44)}\h\h\hnot the homosexuality
{\an7}{\pos(67,59)}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hthat did him,
1422
01:18:23,080 --> 01:18:26,220
{\an7}{\pos(67,28)}it was the fact that he had
{\an7}{\pos(67,44)}\h\h\h\hto hide that aspect
{\an7}{\pos(67,59)}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hof his life.
1423
01:18:26,220 --> 01:18:28,300
{\an7}{\pos(67,228)}In his own personal life,
{\an7}{\pos(67,243)}\hhe had to live that lie.
1424
01:18:28,300 --> 01:18:30,760
{\an7}{\pos(96,228)}So, just the torment
{\an7}{\pos(96,243)}\h\h\h\h\h\hin that.
1425
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:32,920
{\an7}{\pos(48,228)}I think the drugs and alcohol
{\an7}{\pos(48,243)}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hjust become
1426
01:18:33,430 --> 01:18:35,930
{\an7}{\pos(76,228)}a manifestation of those
{\an7}{\pos(76,243)}demons, they’re not the caus
1427
01:18:36,430 --> 01:18:38,430
{\an7}{\pos(67,243)}They’re the effect of it.
1428
01:18:38,430 --> 01:18:40,430
{\an7}{\pos(96,228)}\h\h\hAnd there’s no
{\an7}{\pos(96,243)}shying away from it.
1429
01:18:40,430 --> 01:18:41,900
{\an7}{\pos(86,228)}There’s no being timid
{\an7}{\pos(86,243)}\h\h\h\h\h\habout it.
1430
01:18:41,900 --> 01:18:43,990
{\an7}{\pos(76,243)}This is the life he had.
1431
01:18:43,990 --> 01:18:47,410
{\an7}{\pos(57,28)}It has to do with what drama
{\an7}{\pos(57,44)}\hcomes through in the story,
1432
01:18:47,410 --> 01:18:49,860
{\an7}{\pos(86,28)}and the character Monty
{\an7}{\pos(86,44)}\h\h\h\h\hon the page.
1433
01:18:50,410 --> 01:18:52,940
{\an7}{\pos(38,228)}\h\h\hWhat makes it interesting
{\an7}{\pos(38,243)}is not even that it’s a biopic.
1434
01:18:52,940 --> 01:18:54,700
{\an7}{\pos(115,228)}That just makes
{\an7}{\pos(115,243)}it challenging,
1435
01:18:54,700 --> 01:18:58,500
{\an7}{\pos(48,228)}but what makes it interesting
{\an7}{\pos(48,243)}is that it has real conflict.
1436
01:18:58,500 --> 01:19:00,790
{\an7}{\pos(96,228)}\h\h\h\hAnd it’s in
{\an7}{\pos(96,243)}an interesting world
1437
01:19:00,790 --> 01:19:03,000
{\an7}{\pos(67,228)}that can take an audience
{\an7}{\pos(67,243)}\h\h\h\hto another place.
1438
01:19:03,590 --> 01:19:07,510
{\an7}{\pos(67,213)}\h\hAnd then the fact that
{\an7}{\pos(67,228)}it’s all true adds another
{\an7}{\pos(67,243)}\h\h\h\h\h\hlayer of that,
1439
01:19:07,510 --> 01:19:09,010
{\an7}{\pos(86,243)}to make it compelling.
1440
01:19:09,010 --> 01:19:11,010
{\an7}{\pos(76,228)}EASTON: I never show him
{\an7}{\pos(76,243)}\h\h\h\h\hacting in it.
1441
01:19:11,010 --> 01:19:13,520
{\an7}{\pos(57,228)}’Cause I don’t think that’s
{\an7}{\pos(57,243)}\hwhat made him who he was.
1442
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:16,390
{\an7}{\pos(86,213)}Rather than just doing
{\an7}{\pos(86,228)}\h\h\ha factual thing,
{\an7}{\pos(86,243)}I was able to, sort of,
1443
01:19:16,380 --> 01:19:19,890
{\an7}{\pos(76,213)}get somewhere where I was
{\an7}{\pos(76,228)}\hreally comfortable with
{\an7}{\pos(76,243)}sort of an understanding,
1444
01:19:19,890 --> 01:19:22,520
{\an7}{\pos(57,28)}\h\h\hand then draw in my own
{\an7}{\pos(57,44)}experiences of the business.
1445
01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:25,560
{\an7}{\pos(115,28)}And how surreal
{\an7}{\pos(115,44)}and how perverse
1446
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:27,900
{\an7}{\pos(105,228)}and how incredibly
{\an7}{\pos(105,243)}\h\hlonely it is.
1447
01:19:27,900 --> 01:19:30,450
{\an7}{\pos(115,228)}\hSo some nights,
{\an7}{\pos(115,243)}I would just go,
1448
01:19:30,450 --> 01:19:32,450
{\an7}{\pos(96,213)}\hI want to feel like
{\an7}{\pos(96,228)}the loneliest person
{\an7}{\pos(96,243)}\h\h\h\hin the world.
1449
01:19:32,950 --> 01:19:34,450
{\an7}{\pos(86,228)}So, I would maybe drink
{\an7}{\pos(86,243)}\h\ha little too much,
1450
01:19:34,450 --> 01:19:37,290
{\an7}{\pos(67,213)}\h\hand then I would start
{\an7}{\pos(67,228)}\h\h\h\hwalking the streets
{\an7}{\pos(67,243)}of New York late at night.
1451
01:19:37,290 --> 01:19:39,120
{\an7}{\pos(67,228)}And go, "I wonder if this
{\an7}{\pos(67,243)}\his how it felt for him."
1452
01:19:40,130 --> 01:19:42,580
{\an7}{\pos(105,228)}\h\hI never tried
{\an7}{\pos(105,243)}to force anything.
1453
01:19:42,580 --> 01:19:47,550
{\an7}{\pos(76,213)}I really want to believe
{\an7}{\pos(76,228)}\h\h\hwithout getting too
{\an7}{\pos(76,243)}\h\h\hexistential that...
1454
01:19:49,050 --> 01:19:50,550
{\an7}{\pos(96,243)}it was him speaking,
1455
01:19:50,550 --> 01:19:52,920
{\an7}{\pos(86,228)}\h\h\hand I just waited
{\an7}{\pos(86,243)}for the words to come.
1456
01:19:53,420 --> 01:19:55,420
{\an7}{\pos(96,243)}Well, that’s one way.
1457
01:19:55,420 --> 01:19:57,890
{\an7}{\pos(48,28)}When you can’t sit across from
{\an7}{\pos(48,44)}\h\h\h\h\h\hthe table and have
{\an7}{\pos(48,59)}\h\h\h\h\ha conversation with,
1458
01:19:57,890 --> 01:19:59,980
{\an7}{\pos(96,28)}"What were you think
{\an7}{\pos(96,44)}when this happened?"
1459
01:19:59,980 --> 01:20:03,480
{\an7}{\pos(67,28)}And, "How did it feel when
{\an7}{\pos(67,44)}\hthis happened?" And, um,
1460
01:20:03,480 --> 01:20:04,430
{\an7}{\pos(86,28)}it’s your interpreting.
1461
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:06,400
{\an7}{\pos(76,243)}We’re all in a business,
1462
01:20:06,900 --> 01:20:10,570
{\an7}{\pos(38,228)}so I think it’s frankly finding
{\an7}{\pos(67,243)}the entertainment value.
1463
01:20:10,570 --> 01:20:12,990
{\an7}{\pos(38,228)}\h\hYou’re reading this source,
{\an7}{\pos(38,243)}and you’re reading that source,
1464
01:20:12,990 --> 01:20:14,990
{\an7}{\pos(105,228)}and you’re looking
{\an7}{\pos(105,243)}at this interview
1465
01:20:14,990 --> 01:20:16,500
{\an7}{\pos(105,228)}and you’re talking
{\an7}{\pos(105,243)}\hto this person,
1466
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:18,500
{\an7}{\pos(86,228)}and putting all those
{\an7}{\pos(86,243)}\h\h\hpieces together
1467
01:20:18,500 --> 01:20:19,360
{\an7}{\pos(57,243)}in something that’s cohesive,
1468
01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:22,370
{\an7}{\pos(57,228)}and inspiring and interesting
{\an7}{\pos(57,243)}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\his difficult.
1469
01:20:23,370 --> 01:20:24,870
{\an7}{\pos(76,243)}ROBERT: It is difficult.
1470
01:20:24,870 --> 01:20:30,120
{\an7}{\pos(48,28)}\h\h\h\h\hEven a big name like
{\an7}{\pos(48,44)}\h\h\hSidney Lumet couldn’t get
{\an7}{\pos(48,59)}a Monty biopic off the ground.
1471
01:20:30,130 --> 01:20:34,130
{\an7}{\pos(76,28)}BOSWORTH: Sidney optioned
{\an7}{\pos(76,44)}\h\hmy book the day after
{\an7}{\pos(76,59)}\h\h\hit was published.
1472
01:20:34,130 --> 01:20:35,960
{\an7}{\pos(76,228)}\hI’d never forgotten it,
{\an7}{\pos(76,243)}’cause it was a big deal.
1473
01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:39,680
{\an7}{\pos(115,228)}Uh, and he wanted
{\an7}{\pos(115,243)}to make a movie,
1474
01:20:39,680 --> 01:20:42,690
{\an7}{\pos(48,228)}like he said, "I wanna make it
{\an7}{\pos(48,243)}\hlike The Godfather I and II,
1475
01:20:42,690 --> 01:20:44,110
{\an7}{\pos(105,228)}\h"I want to make
{\an7}{\pos(105,243)}Montgomery Clift I,
1476
01:20:44,610 --> 01:20:46,690
{\an7}{\pos(115,228)}"Montgomery Clift
{\an7}{\pos(115,243)}\hand His Mother.
1477
01:20:46,690 --> 01:20:49,190
{\an7}{\pos(86,228)}"And Montgomery Clift:
{\an7}{\pos(86,243)}\h\h\h\hTragic Beauty,
1478
01:20:49,190 --> 01:20:53,700
{\an7}{\pos(86,213)}"you know, when after
{\an7}{\pos(86,228)}his face was destroyed
{\an7}{\pos(86,243)}\h\hin the car crash."
1479
01:20:53,700 --> 01:20:58,200
{\an7}{\pos(57,213)}And the two Montgomery Clift
{\an7}{\pos(57,228)}\hmovies were supposed to be
{\an7}{\pos(57,243)}\h\h\h\h\hhugely expensive.
1480
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:01,410
{\an7}{\pos(57,228)}\hAnd Warner Brothers decided
{\an7}{\pos(57,243)}they didn’t want to do that.
1481
01:21:01,410 --> 01:21:03,910
{\an7}{\pos(67,243)}So, the option was dropped.
1482
01:21:03,910 --> 01:21:06,910
{\an7}{\pos(76,228)}\h\h\hAnd I had, I’ve had
{\an7}{\pos(76,243)}other options since then.
1483
01:21:06,910 --> 01:21:09,880
{\an7}{\pos(96,228)}But movies... A movie
{\an7}{\pos(96,243)}has never been made.
1484
01:21:10,420 --> 01:21:11,420
{\an7}{\pos(105,243)}I had many options.
1485
01:21:11,420 --> 01:21:12,920
{\an7}{\pos(124,228)}\h-ROBERT: Why?
{\an7}{\pos(124,243)}-I don’t know!
1486
01:21:13,420 --> 01:21:15,220
{\an7}{\pos(96,228)}I wrote, I wrote two
{\an7}{\pos(96,243)}\hscreenplays myself.
1487
01:21:15,220 --> 01:21:19,560
{\an7}{\pos(67,213)}I even thought of writing
{\an7}{\pos(67,228)}\h\h\ha movie that would be
{\an7}{\pos(67,243)}\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\habout me,
1488
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:23,310
{\an7}{\pos(105,213)}not me literally,
{\an7}{\pos(105,228)}\hbut a character,
{\an7}{\pos(105,243)}like a young girl,
1489
01:21:23,310 --> 01:21:26,010
{\an7}{\pos(86,28)}who, who has all these
{\an7}{\pos(86,44)}\h\h\hexperiences with
{\an7}{\pos(86,59)}\h\hMontgomery Clift,
1490
01:21:26,010 --> 01:21:29,600
{\an7}{\pos(96,28)}and gets to know him
{\an7}{\pos(96,44)}\hand I was gonna use
{\an7}{\pos(96,59)}\hme as a character,
1491
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:31,440
{\an7}{\pos(57,28)}in either a play or a movie.
1492
01:21:31,440 --> 01:21:34,820
{\an7}{\pos(86,28)}I haven’t gone beyond
{\an7}{\pos(86,44)}\hthat idea. I haven’t
{\an7}{\pos(86,59)}\h\h\h\h\hwritten it.
1493
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:36,860
{\an7}{\pos(86,228)}And then I have another
{\an7}{\pos(86,243)}\h\h\h\h\h\h\hidea, uh,
1494
01:21:36,860 --> 01:21:40,360
{\an7}{\pos(48,213)}\h\h\hwhich I’m actually gonna
{\an7}{\pos(48,228)}\h\h\htalk to a producer about,
{\an7}{\pos(48,243)}but I don’t think it’ll happen,
1495
01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:43,610
{\an7}{\pos(76,228)}of Montgomery Clift just
{\an7}{\pos(76,243)}\hat the end of his life,
1496
01:21:43,620 --> 01:21:47,500
{\an7}{\pos(105,213)}in the brownstone,
{\an7}{\pos(105,228)}\h\hwith the black
{\an7}{\pos(105,243)}\h\hmale servant.
1497
01:21:47,500 --> 01:21:51,840
{\an7}{\pos(76,213)}\h\h\h\hAnd just the end
{\an7}{\pos(76,228)}of his life, almost like
{\an7}{\pos(76,243)}\h\h\ha Sunset Boulevard,
1498
01:21:51,840 --> 01:21:54,680
{\an7}{\pos(96,228)}and then flashbacks
{\an7}{\pos(96,243)}\h\hof earlier life.
1499
01:21:58,210 --> 01:22:00,470
{\an7}{\pos(96,228)}But again, I don’t...
{\an7}{\pos(96,243)}It’s never happened!
1500
01:22:00,470 --> 01:22:02,470
{\an7}{\pos(96,228)}\h\hI... I’ve talked
{\an7}{\pos(96,243)}to so many producers.
1501
01:22:02,470 --> 01:22:05,470
{\an7}{\pos(67,213)}\hSo many people have liked
{\an7}{\pos(67,228)}the book and wanted to make
{\an7}{\pos(67,243)}\h\h\h\h\hit into a movie.
1502
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:10,230
{\an7}{\pos(67,228)}ROBERT: I can’t say I want
{\an7}{\pos(67,243)}\h\hthat movie to be made.
1503
01:22:10,230 --> 01:22:12,730
{\an7}{\pos(86,228)}\h\hIt effaces someone
{\an7}{\pos(86,243)}important in my life.
1504
01:22:12,730 --> 01:22:16,650
{\an7}{\pos(67,213)}That so-called black male
{\an7}{\pos(67,228)}\h\hservant Patty mentioned
{\an7}{\pos(67,243)}\h\h\h\h\h\h\his Lorenzo.
1505
01:22:16,650 --> 01:22:19,650
{\an7}{\pos(48,228)}And if anybody knows how a few
{\an7}{\pos(48,243)}\hmisplaced creative liberties
1506
01:22:19,650 --> 01:22:22,400
{\an7}{\pos(38,28)}can impact real life, it’s him.
1507
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:25,410
