00:00Dennis, what continues to resonate with you about Arthur, your character?
00:06The redemption, you know, that's a redemption, you know,
00:13getting something that you feel like you don't deserve.
00:18And, you know, that's, I think, relates to everybody.
00:26That, you know, that was the lesson in that movie for me.
00:33And I think it resonates with audiences, redemption stories,
00:39which these guys tell really well.
00:42Yes. Andy, what was your main goal in telling this second chapter?
00:49You know, for this, the goal in doing this was I wanted to do a movie that completed the original
00:56movie,
00:57and it didn't feel like just doing the same thing again.
01:01And the first movie was such a satisfying journey, but it was really satisfying for Bart as a son.
01:08But this movie is about Bart as a dad.
01:11And how do I give my kids something that wasn't given to me?
01:14And because of the volatile relationship with Arthur, he just feels like he doesn't have the goods to be able
01:20to be a dad.
01:21And so that idea of what happens after the happily ever after,
01:25what happens after you get what you think you want,
01:28and what happens when life goes back to being really hard.
01:32And this is about Bart having the courage to find the gratitude in life to fight for his own son.
01:37And it's a beautiful father-son story, but from the other side, and we get to kind of fully heal
01:43the relationship with Arthur in this movie.
01:47And I can't wait for audiences to see it. It's exciting.
01:50And for you, how would you describe the relationship between Arthur and Bart now in the second movie?
01:57It was, I think, told in memory. Really, it's Bart's memory of what their relationship became, what he always wanted
02:08it to be.
02:12And, you know, that's, and there's a chain there, you know, of fatherhood from, you know, from Arthur to Bart
02:21to his son.
02:23And that's, that's, I think that there's something about fathers and sons.
02:33It just really is, it just makes some great stories.
02:36The men, Romans struggle with that throughout their lives, really.
02:41Andy, how did you balance Faith music and family in this movie?
02:47Well, it's definitely a music movie.
02:49And the music in this movie is every bit as good as the original.
02:53I still geek out that U2 allowed us to use 40 from their, from their Under the Blood Red Sky
03:00recording,
03:01that recorded at Red Rocks, and then we got to re-record it, you know, and perform it there.
03:06And then the song that really, the two songs that are the backbone of the story are the old classic
03:12hymn,
03:13It Is Well With My Soul.
03:14And so It Is Well really services as really the underbelly of the, the questions that we're asking in this,
03:22of where's a good God when it's hard and when they're suffering.
03:26And then the, and then that leads to kind of a modern version of that song, which is this song
03:30Even If,
03:30that this songwriter Tim Timmons writes with this idea of trying to find gratitude in the hard things in life.
03:37And what happens even if, you know, it doesn't work out the way that you want.
03:41And so those songs really speak into it.
03:45And then family, it's, it's all about the family, you know.
03:48And that idea of that link of fatherhood from Arthur to his son and now Bart to his son,
03:55that, you know, is this kind of redefining a whole generation of Millard men.
04:01And it's, it's really relatable as a, as a father of this, like,
04:05how do I have the courage to give my family things that I don't know that I had enough of.
04:09And so I think it's really going to resonate with people.
