1
00:00:06,266 --> 00:00:06,999
the beautiful mind
2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:09,600
screenplay by Akiva Goldsman
3
00:00:09,733 --> 00:00:14,566
is remarkable in that it has one Uber
4
00:00:14,966 --> 00:00:16,866
um you know
5
00:00:16,866 --> 00:00:19,333
overriding objective
6
00:00:19,333 --> 00:00:22,866
that is to make you understand what it feels like
7
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:24,833
to be mentally ill
8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,100
um and then
9
00:00:27,100 --> 00:00:27,800
by extension
10
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,566
what does it feel like to love someone who's living
11
00:00:31,566 --> 00:00:32,899
um you know
12
00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:34,366
within those delusions
13
00:00:35,133 --> 00:00:37,533
and what's what's so remarkable about it is that it
14
00:00:37,533 --> 00:00:39,799
it it uses um
15
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,066
you know a convention of
16
00:00:41,066 --> 00:00:42,333
of cinema okay
17
00:00:42,333 --> 00:00:43,899
basically creates a ghost story
18
00:00:43,900 --> 00:00:47,766
it's it's playing close handed versus open handed
19
00:00:47,766 --> 00:00:48,899
you don't know
20
00:00:49,066 --> 00:00:52,166
the truth about the characters that you're seeing
21
00:00:52,266 --> 00:00:54,766
and then you know
22
00:00:54,766 --> 00:00:57,066
the audience gets the rug pulled out from under them
23
00:00:57,066 --> 00:00:59,066
is something that we had to build to
24
00:00:59,333 --> 00:01:02,699
very carefully and stylistically
25
00:01:03,733 --> 00:01:06,933
I tried to work with um
26
00:01:06,933 --> 00:01:10,466
three different looks within the framework of the movie
27
00:01:10,866 --> 00:01:12,899
the first period
28
00:01:13,300 --> 00:01:16,266
young John Nash as a rising genius
29
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:19,300
eccentric but um
30
00:01:19,300 --> 00:01:20,433
ultimately brilliant
31
00:01:20,766 --> 00:01:23,666
um I shot that along with Roger Deacons
32
00:01:23,666 --> 00:01:24,533
cinematographer
33
00:01:24,533 --> 00:01:26,999
in a very straightforward um
34
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,133
kind of a life magazine way with
35
00:01:29,133 --> 00:01:31,599
with a sense of a of a
36
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:32,900
of nostalgia
37
00:01:32,900 --> 00:01:36,633
almost kind of an organized um
38
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:39,666
warmth and congeniality
39
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,700
the only difference was that I played a lot
40
00:01:42,866 --> 00:01:46,099
of it from John Nash's point of view in fact
41
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:49,933
I had actors looking right into the lens sometimes
42
00:01:49,933 --> 00:01:50,766
I played you know
43
00:01:50,766 --> 00:01:54,999
an unusual amount of it in his literal point of view
44
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,033
and that was a way of I hoped
45
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,100
um drawing audiences
46
00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:02,700
into a kind of a mystery like
47
00:02:02,700 --> 00:02:03,266
you know and
48
00:02:03,266 --> 00:02:06,233
and and what would eventually prove to be his paranoia
49
00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:08,533
um and but at this point
50
00:02:08,533 --> 00:02:09,999
it was just a sort of um
51
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:12,866
meant to make the audience feel his discomfort
52
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:14,666
that he doesn't fit in
53
00:02:14,866 --> 00:02:16,699
and they must be looking at me
54
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,333
but later in the movie
55
00:02:18,333 --> 00:02:19,699
you would recognize that
56
00:02:19,700 --> 00:02:20,533
of course that was
57
00:02:20,533 --> 00:02:22,833
it was the beginning of a paranoid
58
00:02:22,966 --> 00:02:24,499
um schizophrenic
59
00:02:24,666 --> 00:02:26,366
uh you know
60
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,233
misproceiving the world around him
61
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:34,000
then the middle section was um
62
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,933
shot in a very um
63
00:02:35,933 --> 00:02:37,799
noir kind of way
64
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,200
like a Cold War
65
00:02:39,500 --> 00:02:42,366
um thriller in espionage movie
66
00:02:42,700 --> 00:02:43,900
you know lots of shadows
67
00:02:43,900 --> 00:02:45,466
lots of light and dark
68
00:02:45,566 --> 00:02:50,999
um um the the color palette narrowed down Ed Harris
69
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,766
you know as a this
70
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,200
um you know
71
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,733
powerful but mysterious figure
72
00:02:56,733 --> 00:02:58,733
but I really wanted the audience to understand it
73
00:02:58,733 --> 00:02:59,699
so of course it can
74
00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:03,300
never goes to the point of being broad or extreme
75
00:03:03,300 --> 00:03:04,666
although you know
76
00:03:04,666 --> 00:03:06,166
the script actually takes you to a place
77
00:03:06,166 --> 00:03:07,799
where they're inserting things
78
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:08,500
you know chips
79
00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:09,666
into his arm
80
00:03:09,666 --> 00:03:10,333
which you know
81
00:03:10,333 --> 00:03:12,166
I think we're all pretty aware of that in the
82
00:03:12,166 --> 00:03:12,966
in the you know
83
00:03:12,966 --> 00:03:16,366
in the 50s that the technology didn't exist yet
84
00:03:16,366 --> 00:03:19,199
we were able to make that slide by for the audience
85
00:03:19,266 --> 00:03:20,466
and there's a moment
86
00:03:20,466 --> 00:03:23,766
where the rug is pulled out from under the audience
87
00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:26,466
and we dispense with the noir
88
00:03:26,666 --> 00:03:28,333
and we go into something else
89
00:03:28,333 --> 00:03:31,266
which is much more personal and much more simple
90
00:03:31,266 --> 00:03:32,066
and this you know
91
00:03:32,066 --> 00:03:33,599
I kept calling it the
92
00:03:34,066 --> 00:03:35,399
you know the cold
93
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,166
clear light of day
94
00:03:37,333 --> 00:03:41,299
that the truth was was harsh
95
00:03:41,333 --> 00:03:42,533
it was uninviting
96
00:03:42,533 --> 00:03:44,099
it was not it wasn't
97
00:03:44,100 --> 00:03:46,166
it wasn't a warm place
98
00:03:46,166 --> 00:03:48,733
the truth of John Nash's life
99
00:03:48,733 --> 00:03:51,166
and his love story with his wife Alicia
100
00:03:51,866 --> 00:03:53,866
so those are the three different styles
101
00:03:56,166 --> 00:03:58,399
there's a sequence that's a turning point
102
00:03:58,966 --> 00:04:01,399
and I build sequences
103
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:05,266
usually in sort of 10 minute kinds of increments
104
00:04:05,266 --> 00:04:05,966
or chapters
105
00:04:05,966 --> 00:04:08,499
I try to identify that rhythm within the script
106
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:09,766
and I try to make sure that
107
00:04:10,133 --> 00:04:12,533
in addition to the overarching uh
108
00:04:12,533 --> 00:04:14,099
structure of the movie
109
00:04:14,133 --> 00:04:15,899
that there are these chapters
110
00:04:15,966 --> 00:04:17,266
there are these these
111
00:04:17,300 --> 00:04:18,600
they have their own beginning
112
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:19,466
middle and end
113
00:04:19,466 --> 00:04:22,099
that they carry their own narrative questions
114
00:04:22,100 --> 00:04:23,766
you know what will happen next
115
00:04:24,066 --> 00:04:25,966
uh and um of course
116
00:04:25,966 --> 00:04:28,066
you're playing out the larger plot all the time
117
00:04:28,066 --> 00:04:30,066
but on a specific level
118
00:04:30,266 --> 00:04:31,066
you're you know
119
00:04:31,066 --> 00:04:33,299
you're concerned about other particulars
120
00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:34,400
that create some
121
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,133
some tension
122
00:04:35,133 --> 00:04:36,533
some curiosity and have a
123
00:04:36,533 --> 00:04:37,633
have a climax
124
00:04:37,900 --> 00:04:40,066
I actually developed this way of working
125
00:04:40,066 --> 00:04:42,566
while refining the script for Apollo 13
126
00:04:42,566 --> 00:04:45,699
which really depended upon these sequences
127
00:04:45,700 --> 00:04:48,666
to make you lose your sense of your
128
00:04:48,666 --> 00:04:50,066
your overall understanding
129
00:04:50,066 --> 00:04:52,299
of what the truth of that true story was
130
00:04:52,566 --> 00:04:54,266
what the ultimate outcome is gonna be
131
00:04:54,266 --> 00:04:59,166
and made you focus on little details where you
132
00:04:59,166 --> 00:05:00,999
you didn't necessarily know the outcome
133
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,100
you didn't know what the emotional price
134
00:05:03,133 --> 00:05:04,199
or physical price
135
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,400
might be what you know
136
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:06,966
what price may have been paid
137
00:05:06,966 --> 00:05:08,199
I don't know anything
138
00:05:09,366 --> 00:05:10,733
there's no good in keeping secrets
139
00:05:10,733 --> 00:05:11,333
you know so
140
00:05:11,333 --> 00:05:12,433
at a certain point
141
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,700
we're always focused with John Nash
142
00:05:15,700 --> 00:05:17,666
and yet I felt this is a love story
143
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,233
and at this point
144
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,566
we pull the rug out from under the audience
145
00:05:22,566 --> 00:05:23,166
I thought well
146
00:05:23,166 --> 00:05:27,399
who's the most important person who's feeling this well
147
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:28,266
it's his wife
148
00:05:28,266 --> 00:05:29,933
Alicia John
149
00:05:29,933 --> 00:05:30,866
schizophrenia
150
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,100
people with this disorder are often paranoid
151
00:05:35,300 --> 00:05:37,333
and she is a pivotal character
152
00:05:37,333 --> 00:05:38,666
central to the movie
153
00:05:39,166 --> 00:05:40,966
into the themes of the story
154
00:05:41,066 --> 00:05:44,633
and I made it a decision that required some rewriting
155
00:05:44,766 --> 00:05:45,999
and some focusing
156
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,700
and in a very subtle way
157
00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:49,333
it informed the way I was gonna stage
158
00:05:49,333 --> 00:05:50,433
and shoot those scenes
159
00:05:50,533 --> 00:05:52,099
but in that sequence
160
00:05:52,700 --> 00:05:54,900
in that 10 minutes
161
00:05:55,533 --> 00:05:59,499
from the time that Alicia visits the hospital
162
00:05:59,500 --> 00:06:03,266
and is told the truth um
163
00:06:03,466 --> 00:06:05,533
and doesn't necessarily trust it
164
00:06:05,533 --> 00:06:06,966
and has to you know
165
00:06:06,966 --> 00:06:09,833
sort of become a detective herself
166
00:06:09,900 --> 00:06:12,500
and come to terms with it and confront her husband
167
00:06:12,500 --> 00:06:14,966
and then witness this this
168
00:06:14,966 --> 00:06:15,866
you know this
169
00:06:16,466 --> 00:06:18,966
this ice shock therapy
170
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:23,500
I shifted the point of view of the movie
171
00:06:23,500 --> 00:06:26,400
to her character for just that
172
00:06:26,733 --> 00:06:28,299
just that 10 minutes
173
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:30,400
just that sequence
174
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:34,066
and I made it a suspense sequence about her discovery
175
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,966
and if you watch the scenes unfold
176
00:06:37,966 --> 00:06:40,166
there's an air of mystery
177
00:06:40,166 --> 00:06:42,599
there's an increased sort of tempo
178
00:06:43,466 --> 00:06:44,899
in the way she's moving
179
00:06:44,900 --> 00:06:46,866
the way the camera presses in
180
00:06:53,166 --> 00:06:56,533
and it builds to this moment of truth
181
00:06:56,533 --> 00:06:57,966
where she confronts her husband
182
00:07:03,100 --> 00:07:05,466
I shot that scene differently than I shot
183
00:07:05,533 --> 00:07:08,299
any of the other two person scenes
184
00:07:08,966 --> 00:07:11,733
I actually asked Roger Deakins to do something that was
185
00:07:11,733 --> 00:07:15,799
unusual for him and challenging for cinematographers
186
00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:17,466
and yet he really did it
187
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,100
I wanted to shoot both of their
188
00:07:21,100 --> 00:07:23,700
over the shoulders at the same time
189
00:07:24,066 --> 00:07:26,766
I wanted them to be in the scene together
190
00:07:26,766 --> 00:07:30,633
I didn't want one actor off camera doing the dialogue
191
00:07:30,933 --> 00:07:32,166
you have to find William Parker
192
00:07:32,166 --> 00:07:33,899
he can stop stop
193
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,933
stop because the lighting was very specific
194
00:07:36,933 --> 00:07:38,766
such a general naturalism
195
00:07:38,766 --> 00:07:40,366
he worked very hard to give us
196
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:41,766
the actors and myself
197
00:07:41,766 --> 00:07:42,866
that opportunity
198
00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:46,766
and I remember we did about nine or 10 takes
199
00:07:46,866 --> 00:07:47,799
with a camera move in
200
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,700
and that was gonna be the the only
201
00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:50,400
the only coverage
202
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:51,766
the only thing I did was that in a
203
00:07:51,766 --> 00:07:52,733
a wide shot
204
00:07:52,733 --> 00:07:54,066
and I didn't even do the whole scene
205
00:07:54,066 --> 00:07:56,233
I only did a couple of key lines that I needed
206
00:07:56,266 --> 00:07:58,199
after they were already emotionally exhausted
207
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,166
because I wanted them to be able to play together
208
00:08:01,933 --> 00:08:05,299
um this this horrifying moment
209
00:08:05,333 --> 00:08:08,999
where she realized how ill he really was
210
00:08:09,100 --> 00:08:10,300
it isn't real
211
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,266
and there was a hopelessness there for her
212
00:08:13,333 --> 00:08:15,133
and he you know
213
00:08:15,133 --> 00:08:17,433
still at the height of his illness
214
00:08:17,700 --> 00:08:20,100
feels so betrayed by her
215
00:08:20,100 --> 00:08:21,366
it's in your mind
216
00:08:21,366 --> 00:08:23,366
and then visually and and
217
00:08:23,366 --> 00:08:24,266
and of course the
218
00:08:24,766 --> 00:08:26,699
the music really supported this again
219
00:08:26,700 --> 00:08:27,866
it's James Horner
220
00:08:27,900 --> 00:08:31,300
kind of emotional tumbling to her
221
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:33,166
witnessing what you know
222
00:08:33,166 --> 00:08:34,699
the hell that he's living in
223
00:08:34,866 --> 00:08:37,333
in a physical way as he's
224
00:08:37,333 --> 00:08:39,433
as he's going through this very harsh treatment
225
00:08:39,533 --> 00:08:42,399
this is an interesting scene to choose in the movie
226
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,700
because it in a way
227
00:08:43,700 --> 00:08:45,200
it stands alone
228
00:08:45,300 --> 00:08:47,900
and it represents um
229
00:08:47,900 --> 00:08:49,933
a lot of what I try to do
230
00:08:49,933 --> 00:08:51,866
that works in hopefully
231
00:08:51,866 --> 00:08:54,499
very subtle ways but
232
00:08:54,500 --> 00:08:56,166
but also um
233
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,666
in significant ways
234
00:08:57,733 --> 00:08:59,566
and things like
235
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,266
not just looking at one scene after the other
236
00:09:03,266 --> 00:09:05,166
as its own discrete
237
00:09:05,666 --> 00:09:09,733
um set of of creative ideas of writing and and
238
00:09:09,733 --> 00:09:11,066
and acting problems
239
00:09:11,566 --> 00:09:14,366
but trying to bundle things together
240
00:09:14,366 --> 00:09:17,766
and creating a kind of a flow
241
00:09:17,933 --> 00:09:21,866
and an emotional connection that is building
242
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,933
and then um
243
00:09:23,933 --> 00:09:25,899
crashing down emotionally
244
00:09:25,900 --> 00:09:26,933
and then you you know
245
00:09:26,933 --> 00:09:30,366
you begin again with a new narrative question
246
00:09:30,366 --> 00:09:31,566
you know what next
247
00:09:31,566 --> 00:09:33,266
what is she gonna do next
248
00:09:33,366 --> 00:09:35,233
now that he's in this situation
249
00:09:35,266 --> 00:09:37,333
and those kinds of things create
250
00:09:37,333 --> 00:09:38,699
um you know
251
00:09:38,700 --> 00:09:41,600
emotional investment for audiences
252
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,666
they often help you define highlight scenes
253
00:09:47,166 --> 00:09:50,399
um and most directors will tell you that
254
00:09:50,466 --> 00:09:51,099
you know your
255
00:09:51,100 --> 00:09:52,366
your your movie is
256
00:09:52,366 --> 00:09:53,733
is really built on a handful
257
00:09:53,733 --> 00:09:54,666
some would say 3
258
00:09:54,666 --> 00:09:56,399
some say 5 some say 7
259
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,866
but these these highlight scenes
260
00:09:58,866 --> 00:09:59,933
well you know
261
00:09:59,933 --> 00:10:00,999
in thinking about them
262
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,133
in watching movies
263
00:10:02,133 --> 00:10:03,366
they're usually
264
00:10:03,933 --> 00:10:06,233
you know pay off to a sequence
265
00:10:06,566 --> 00:10:07,733
Billy Wilder said
266
00:10:07,733 --> 00:10:10,333
you have to understand the five important scenes
267
00:10:10,333 --> 00:10:12,233
and then you have to know how to build to them
268
00:10:12,866 --> 00:10:16,199
well to me it's about building a great sequence
269
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,066
Steven Spielberg is one of the great sequence builders
270
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:20,766
um that I've ever
271
00:10:20,766 --> 00:10:21,799
I've ever seen
272
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,233
he naturally knows how to you know
273
00:10:25,933 --> 00:10:27,466
create so much excitement
274
00:10:27,466 --> 00:10:30,266
tension mystery
275
00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:32,166
whatever it is that he's trying to achieve
276
00:10:32,166 --> 00:10:33,699
emotion and then
277
00:10:33,700 --> 00:10:35,100
you know and let it reach
278
00:10:35,933 --> 00:10:37,066
you know kind of a climax
279
00:10:37,066 --> 00:10:38,966
and so during the course of a movie
280
00:10:38,966 --> 00:10:41,199
there's not just one at the end
281
00:10:41,366 --> 00:10:42,466
you're supposed to be
282
00:10:42,466 --> 00:10:43,466
you know um
283
00:10:43,466 --> 00:10:45,333
I think a lot of UPS and downs
284
00:10:45,333 --> 00:10:46,366
a lot of spikes
285
00:10:46,366 --> 00:10:48,666
and it's the director's job to identify it
286
00:10:48,666 --> 00:10:51,166
and make sure that you don't underplay
287
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:52,800
uh and that also
288
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:54,666
you in in the
289
00:10:54,666 --> 00:10:56,566
in the aftermath of one of those moments
290
00:10:56,566 --> 00:10:58,666
that you maybe give the audience a breath
291
00:10:58,700 --> 00:11:00,833
you understand that you've just completed
292
00:11:01,066 --> 00:11:04,266
uh one sequence with its own climax
293
00:11:04,266 --> 00:11:05,699
and now you know
294
00:11:05,700 --> 00:11:06,800
you just like a
295
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:08,133
just like coming to
296
00:11:08,133 --> 00:11:09,599
you know Chapter 7
297
00:11:09,900 --> 00:11:11,533
um you have just a moment
298
00:11:11,533 --> 00:11:12,299
as an audience
299
00:11:12,300 --> 00:11:13,533
to collect yourself
300
00:11:13,533 --> 00:11:14,599
and you know
301
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,133
wonder what's gonna happen next
302
00:11:16,133 --> 00:11:17,866
and then move into it
303
00:11:17,900 --> 00:11:19,900
um with the characters
304
00:11:20,133 --> 00:11:22,466
I'm just gonna grab the laundry okay
305
00:11:22,933 --> 00:11:24,066
I'll draw his bath
306
00:11:28,300 --> 00:11:31,666
it's okay this sequence is
307
00:11:31,666 --> 00:11:32,733
um you know
308
00:11:32,733 --> 00:11:34,499
a metaphor for any loved one
309
00:11:34,500 --> 00:11:38,600
who's coming to terms with a spouse or a sibling
310
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,266
who is facing this kind of mental illness
311
00:11:41,333 --> 00:11:42,133
especially when it's
312
00:11:42,133 --> 00:11:43,866
it comes as a surprise
313
00:11:48,666 --> 00:11:50,699
similar with addiction and other
314
00:11:50,700 --> 00:11:54,200
other kinds of diseases that you can be in denial about
315
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,133
and then there comes a moment of reckoning
316
00:11:56,133 --> 00:11:57,899
where you just have to come to terms
317
00:11:57,933 --> 00:11:59,899
with the fact that this person you care about is is is
318
00:11:59,900 --> 00:12:02,833
is damaged he's ill
319
00:12:03,366 --> 00:12:07,966
and so we were able to use the metaphor of
320
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,800
uncovering the mystery of what John Nash was doing
321
00:12:13,466 --> 00:12:15,999
compared to um
322
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,800
what he thought he was doing
323
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:19,500
and conveyed everyone he was doing
324
00:12:19,500 --> 00:12:20,600
so what what
325
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,366
what was the reality of his
326
00:12:22,733 --> 00:12:24,899
of his existence versus
327
00:12:25,100 --> 00:12:26,100
um you know
328
00:12:26,100 --> 00:12:28,466
the one that he shared with everyone
329
00:12:28,466 --> 00:12:29,799
and made everyone believe in
330
00:12:30,333 --> 00:12:31,699
and that was that he was he was
331
00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:33,133
he was working as a spy
332
00:12:33,133 --> 00:12:34,966
he was cooperating with the government
333
00:12:51,166 --> 00:12:56,766
her opening a door and walking in to that brilliantly
334
00:12:56,900 --> 00:12:59,700
art directed and design office
335
00:12:59,900 --> 00:13:03,800
with that sort of jumbled collection of
336
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,766
of images and strings
337
00:13:05,766 --> 00:13:07,499
connecting ideas and so forth
338
00:13:07,500 --> 00:13:08,466
which was in the script
339
00:13:08,466 --> 00:13:10,499
was described in screenplay
340
00:13:11,333 --> 00:13:16,166
that is a metaphor for understanding the turmoil and
341
00:13:16,166 --> 00:13:17,099
the illusion
342
00:13:17,100 --> 00:13:19,166
the hallucination that you know
343
00:13:19,166 --> 00:13:20,133
a loved one with
344
00:13:20,133 --> 00:13:22,799
with with mental illness of this sort is
345
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,300
is coping with
346
00:13:25,466 --> 00:13:26,499
directorally
347
00:13:26,500 --> 00:13:27,933
I was trying to treat it literally
348
00:13:27,933 --> 00:13:31,333
like this sort of mystery that was unfolding but again
349
00:13:31,333 --> 00:13:34,333
the brilliance of the writing here is that it's
350
00:13:34,333 --> 00:13:36,233
it's what every loved one goes through
351
00:13:36,300 --> 00:13:38,100
when they have to finally come to terms with it
352
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:39,400
they wanna be in denial
353
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,466
they're not sure in this case
354
00:13:41,466 --> 00:13:43,166
you know Alicia
355
00:13:43,166 --> 00:13:44,633
the Jennifer Connelly character
356
00:13:44,666 --> 00:13:46,699
is suspicious of what people are saying
357
00:13:46,866 --> 00:13:48,499
um what the doctors are saying
358
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:48,966
you know are they
359
00:13:48,966 --> 00:13:50,033
are they spies
360
00:13:50,300 --> 00:13:51,633
she believes her husband
361
00:13:52,133 --> 00:13:54,766
just as we always believe our loved ones are
362
00:13:54,933 --> 00:13:55,966
you know are
363
00:13:55,966 --> 00:13:58,299
are are healthy and can overcome this thing
364
00:13:58,300 --> 00:14:00,000
and they don't really have a problem
365
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,766
that's that significant or that profound so uh
366
00:14:03,766 --> 00:14:06,866
it it was really interesting to be able to use this
367
00:14:06,866 --> 00:14:08,099
sort of mystery
368
00:14:08,766 --> 00:14:12,799
um grammar to to try to
369
00:14:14,133 --> 00:14:15,899
parallel the you know
370
00:14:15,900 --> 00:14:18,800
experience that all too many people face when they
371
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,100
they have to come to terms with
372
00:14:22,333 --> 00:14:23,633
the illness of a loved one
