I heard this quote this morning, and it made me think of this movie
0:02
that art doesn't come without sacrifice. It doesn't come without some sort of personal price
0:07
Do you agree with that sentiment, that art can't really exist without some kind of personal sacrifice
0:13
Well, I don't think you can create art accidentally. I think there has to be some sort of consciousness
0:18
that goes along with it, that precedes it, and that doesn't arrive accidentally either
0:24
You've got to have made the effort, and the effort usually involves conscious suffering
0:30
You've got to be able to suffer to see who you are, you know, and what reality is
0:35
So if you haven't done that, you're not going to make art. I would agree wholeheartedly with that
0:41
You have to be willing to examine the depths of what that pain is that you're carrying
0:47
That involves a certain sacrifice, and I think that's why we do it. For sure
0:51
Because ultimately it's gratifying. Iris, I need to talk with you. It's about the doctor
0:57
I wanted to ask if you could take him. No, I can't. No
1:03
This is what Walter wanted after he died. Why would he say that
1:09
You were his best friend. It took me a while to recover after watching the movie
1:14
Because I went into it, not really knowing what to expect, but expecting a fun Bill Murray movie where Naomi Watts gets into the shenanigans with the big dog
1:23
But this was not what it ended up being. I ended up being a blubbering mess for about two hours
1:30
We did our job. You did. You nailed it. I was going to say we'd apologize, but no
1:34
No, you shouldn't. No, it was very cathartic. I just can't keep having him here
1:38
He's taken over my bed and he's getting in the way of my work
1:42
I don't think he's about the dog. He in mourning He lost his master How would you feel The book like the movie is about these universal themes of friendship and loss and grief and love And it told so
1:56
beautifully in the book and Sigrid's voice is so strong and there's so much
2:01
humor to it as well. We were hooked. And we like a dog movie actually like that
2:06
There's a kind of Hollywood truism that working with dogs and children is
2:11
problems but we kind of enjoy doing both. There's a theme in this film about
2:16
legacy the things we leave behind. If there was one sort of piece of art or a
2:20
movie television show that you were a part of that you would prefer that be
2:27
the thing that you are remembered for what would you say that is? I think what
2:32
we're gonna leave behind is our children and and whatever effect we had on them
2:40
how we, whatever influences we showed to them, either through what we, you know, pointed out
2:47
or the way we lived our own lives. But if you had to put it, you know
2:53
in terms of what jobs we've ever done, I think, I would say, like, Groundhog Day is a movie
2:58
that I believe is sort of what life can be about, that you have to fail every single damn day
3:04
and start again and just have the guts to do it again
3:08
because the day's there it's just a matter what you're going to do with it. It's that opportunity
3:12
that the opportunity keeps coming every not just every day but every moment
3:17
If we have to reduce it to a thing a piece of work I would say probably Mulholland Drive. Yeah that's one that seems to have
3:27
stood the test of time and worth revisiting. People seem to get a lot out of that and I'm proud of it
