00:08Cercavo te
00:20In questo film, Doctor Strange ha un cape molto importante.
00:26Do you think that Thor, Loki and Vision in particular will be pissed off by that?
00:33Oh, they're going to be so jealous.
00:35Well, first of all, it's not a cape, his is technically a cloak,
00:38which makes it, I think, already better, fancier.
00:42But yeah, his cloak is sentient, his cloak has personality and charm
00:47and theirs just seems to hang there.
00:52He's a scientist, a doctor, because we have to be specific.
00:58He will be the third scientist of the Avengers team.
01:03Do you think that, in your opinion, he will be more a friend with Tony Stark or Bruce Banner?
01:10Oh, he would be more of a friend with Bruce Banner.
01:13Yeah, because, you know, Bruce is an altruistic research scientist
01:17and Strange is a medical doctor.
01:21So, you know, they're always about the good of humanity, of their nature.
01:26You've done, in your past, theology studies.
01:30Yeah.
01:30Did that help you with this movie?
01:33Because we have a lot of meditation, ancient religions.
01:37Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of spirituality in the movie, you know,
01:40but I wanted it to be a movie that transcended any kind of religious feeling
01:46and instead really got into what we all sort of basically understand is the way life works.
01:52You know, that there are certain truths that are inescapable about the ego
01:56and surrendering power and mindfulness
01:59and all of these things that are necessary for anyone who wants to grow as a human being.
02:05In the movie he said that being a superhero, being a good man is about fighting death.
02:15The protagonist does so being a doctor, being a magician, a sorcerer.
02:21You are a storyteller, so in a way you cheat death with your stories.
02:26Yeah.
02:26Do you ever think about it?
02:27Yeah, of course I do, you know, and it's particularly true with cinema
02:31because it's going to last forever, you know.
02:34As long as there's a world where technology works, these movies that we make will outlive us.
02:40But I think that storytelling is a sacred endeavor, you know.
02:47I think God is the ultimate storyteller.
02:49I think it's why we're all here.
02:50We're part of a story and each of us has an individual story
02:53and there's something about a good story that tells the truth in a way that nothing else can.
02:58Before you talked about ego, the protagonist has a huge ego.
03:05And then he learns how to put that away.
03:08How difficult is today doing such a thing?
03:12Because we have social networks, Instagram, actors are always at the center of their attention.
03:19How can we learn to put our ego away?
03:23I mean, it takes conscious effort, you know.
03:26You have to make the decision to do that.
03:29It's not going to happen for you.
03:31It's not going to happen accidentally.
03:33You have to recognize the role that it plays in your life and rebel against it.
03:39And nowadays that's the only true rebellion left, you know.
03:43The only true rebellion is to rebel against having everything you want
03:49and making everything the way you want it to be and living for yourself.
03:53I really believe in living for something bigger than myself.
03:58And I found great satisfaction and meaning in my life when I live that way.
04:05In the movie, hands are a very powerful metaphor because hands are what defines us better as human beings.
04:14With those we can do things, build things, feel, communicate.
04:19How does Benedict Cumberbatch hands speak, really speak in the movie?
04:25They are almost like a character.
04:28Yeah, they are a character.
04:29I mean, we feature them so heavily in the beginning of the movie to see the detail of the surgery
04:34and just, you know, what he can do with them.
04:37And the significance of the loss of them is not the hands themselves.
04:42They are a loss of his identity.
04:43They are a loss of his own egocentrism.
04:47Because without these hands that worked a kind of magic as a doctor,
04:52he doesn't have anything about him that's that special.
04:56And it's those very hands that become the source of magic.
04:59It's gesturing.
05:00It's why gesturing is where magic comes from in this movie.
05:04But I love so much the fact that, you know, by the end of the movie he's left alone in
05:10this lonely position
05:11and his hands still shake because they become symbols of his brokenness.
05:16And that a character like a person in real life who is egocentric and self-centered and lives selfishly,
05:26it sometimes takes great trauma and tragedy to break them from that.
05:31And once broken, always broken.
05:34But broken for the good, you know.
05:36And many of my, if not all of my favorite people are broken people.
05:42Thank you.
05:43Thank you so much.
05:43I really enjoyed your movie.
05:44Thank you so much. That was a great interview. I loved it.
05:47Thank you.
05:47Thanks.
