00:02My friends think that just because I live in Hawaii, I live in paradise.
00:05Things that happen in this movie happen in real life
00:07because Alexander Paynes did it in a way that was very real and very human.
00:12The way I describe it is it's about a very dysfunctional family
00:15who through a very tragic scenario, many tragic scenarios,
00:19they have to learn to kind of reconnect and re-communicate.
00:21And by the end they're still dysfunctional but they're functioning dysfunctional.
00:25Does she love it?
00:26Drop it, Dad. You've got way bigger fish to far than confronting some guy.
00:30I would actually describe her as very typical.
00:33She's a 17-year-old going through her angsty period in life
00:35and at a very young age she realized that her mom wouldn't be around for her.
00:40She'd be more of a best friend and her dad was completely separated from the family.
00:44So she put up walls around herself and decided to be her own protector.
00:47And I think a lot of kids do that.
00:49And as she got older she kind of went down the rough road in high school
00:53and played the victim character and thought that the world was out to get her.
00:57And through this movie she's forced to be vulnerable for the first time
01:00and she's forced to break down those walls and communicate with her father
01:03and communicate with her 10-year-old sister and her mother.
01:06And I think that's a big stepping stone for teenagers to finally realize
01:10that there's more to the world than themselves.
01:12And I think this movie definitely kind of examples Alexandra having to go through
01:16the growing up process of being an adolescent while dealing with tragic scenarios.
01:21So it's kind of a double whammy.
01:30She learns to let her dad parent her for the first time.
01:33But she also is a parent to her dad because she has to teach her dad
01:37what to do with her little sister.
01:38She has to teach her dad what to do with a family
01:41because her dad has never been around for a family.
01:43And then she has to kind of come down off her pedestal and let her dad teach her
01:47what it's like to be a citizen of the world.
01:51And so I think it's kind of this beautiful collaboration of learning.
01:53George Clooney is a phenomenal actor because George Clooney is a phenomenal actor.
01:57Not because the editor or the director makes him look good.
01:59Because he is so amazing he would say his words and I wouldn't have to think to cry
02:04or tell myself to cry.
02:05The tears would start flowing because the words were truthful and George's acting was truthful.
02:09And so on that note he was an amazing partner to work with because he gave you so much from
02:14such a real level
02:15and not from a surface actor level.
02:18But other than that, I mean, Alexander's script, it all comes down to the screenplay.
02:23The script was just brilliant.
02:25in the background .
02:25In human being.
02:26Yeah.
02:28Yeah.
02:31Yeah.
02:33Grazie a tutti.
