00:08Let's talk about a little bit what drew each of you to this project.
00:14Joaquin drew me to the project.
00:16Amy drew me to the project.
00:18No, I think probably for both of us, I don't know, I've been a fan of Spike's for, since his
00:25music videos.
00:27So the opportunity to work with him was obviously very exciting.
00:30But then on a script that was so unique and full of these big ideas and this wonderful heart and
00:37accessible emotion, it just seemed like, the question was like, why wouldn't you do this?
00:45You couldn't possibly find any reason to not do the film.
00:51Where was Theodore in his life before he meets Samantha and what does she bring to his life?
00:55I think Theodore is somebody that when we meet him is in a forced, self-imposed isolation.
01:05He just doesn't really know who he is anymore.
01:08So much of his identity was wrapped up in his marriage, in his relationship, and it's something that was so
01:14important to him.
01:15And when that dissolves, he has this feeling that he's not connected to the world in any way.
01:22He can't even connect to his friends, and so he feels isolated.
01:27And Samantha, because of her own desire to, her own appetite for learning about the world and about emotion and
01:36about experience,
01:37reignites his passion for the world because he was somebody that was very curious and playful and excited and full
01:46of love.
01:48And so she really helps him to find himself again, find the Theodore that he was.
01:57It's, what do you say in the film, not the, not the, I miss Theodore, not the mopey, miserable Theodore,
02:04but the fun, you know.
02:05And that's really, I think, what Samantha helps him to rediscover.
02:11Explain the relationship between Theodore and Amy.
02:14What do their characters have in common when the film opens?
02:16Heavy sex.
02:19That's not true, actually.
02:22It's a friendship, yeah.
02:24We have in common that we're both at a crossroads, an emotional crossroads, and sort of looking to do things
02:29differently, I would say.
02:30Yeah.
02:31And it is cool, you were talking about this before, about seeing a friendship, and a believable friendship between a
02:37guy and a girl, and how rare that is in films.
02:41It is, yeah.
02:42No innuendo, no overtures, just love.
02:48More than technology, this film's about people's need to connect with others.
02:51How do the characters portray this in the film?
02:54The great thing about Spike is nothing's ever done in, like, a real obvious way, and it's through conversation and
03:00through details,
03:00and you learn through the brilliant dialogue that he writes, um, where these characters are, and, um, so, you know,
03:10it's, it's, what, what's beautiful about these two characters, sorry, is that I feel like they're constantly seeking, and it's
03:16through that seeking that, that they communicate, sort of, their need, their need for connection.
03:23Do you think technology is changing the way people connect these days?
03:27Of course.
