00:00Every time I read, I open a script for Fast and Furious, I wonder, okay, how are they going to
00:04up their game from the last one?
00:06Because I think that's really part of the challenge, because each one keeps superseding the last one in terms of
00:11how the fans respond worldwide.
00:16But this one's done a pretty great job, and I'm bummed that I didn't get to go with a team
00:19to Abu Dhabi, because it seems like they had a really, really good time.
00:25I think something that Vin has done really, really well and worked really hard at is retaining the integrity of
00:32the story and retaining the fact that it is at its core about family, and it's about a bunch of
00:36misfits who have come together and are overcoming the odds, and I think that's part of what appeals to the
00:42audience, because everyone can relate to a different character or relate to the dynamic between all the different characters and
00:48their various different backgrounds, so I think that's part of the appeal.
00:53It's really special. It's really surreal in a way. I mean, I just had a moment, I was driving with
00:58my son on my lap on the golf cart, which I may get in trouble for, I'm not sure, but
01:03I remember years and years and years ago, I think definitely on one, Paul came on set with his daughter
01:10on his shoulders, so it was like sort of, you know, going full circle that way.
01:14It's, um, we all definitely share a very special bond, um, and it's been, you know, that's one of the
01:21perks of being part of this franchise.
01:26One of the things that I worked really hard with, um, on with Justin Lin in Five was this sort
01:31of Mia balancing having children and her family, and also Mia seems to have this very intuitive sense about what's
01:40going on with the men in her life, even though they're not the most communicative.
01:43So she senses early on that Brian is missing something, because I think in Six, we decided to, you know,
01:50leave that life behind us, and I can tell that he's not entirely happy with his decision, which is a
01:56really hard place for Mia to be in.
01:57Um, so it's, it's fun to play that, that conflict, and, and I really respect her for being as stoic
02:03as she is, because I would go straight to my husband and be like, so what's going on? Like, like,
02:07and she knows that she needs to hold back.
02:09So, she's a really interesting character in that sense.
02:15I think, well, it's so fun to, to go back there as an actor, because the neighborhood has changed so
02:20much, and yet, you go into that house, and I see, okay, that's where I shot that scene with Paul.
02:25And, and Rob had that beautiful shot of us outside, um, shooting into the two, into the two windows, and
02:31it was just so cinematic.
02:32And, um, then I remember Leti playing on, like, the video game in one.
02:37So, it's just, it's like, it's like a walk down memory lane when we shoot at the Toretto house.
02:42It's really, it's special to be able to do that.
02:44And it's special that it's actually a location, because often, films shoot, you know, like, on a stage, and then
02:50exteriors are at a location.
02:51So, that's very, there's something very pure about that.
02:53Thank you so much for learning.
