00:10I think that the super power of these characters is that they can feel each other's pain.
00:20Empathy is their super power.
00:23So how much do we need it?
00:25Being empathetic.
00:30Well, we need it quite a lot, you know, and we don't necessarily have enough of it in the world
00:35as it is.
00:37You know, I think empathy is a crucial characteristic of the human species and allows us to understand other people,
00:46allows us to be able to communicate with other people properly and efficiently and effectively in order to solve problems.
00:52And as sort of human beings, we're all social groups.
00:55And so we need empathy with one another in order to progress anything.
01:00And so, yes, no, you're right.
01:03It's a really central point of this story and of these characters, that they have a connection and they have
01:10empathy with one another.
01:11And they invite you as an audience to also have empathy with them.
01:17And my character, Copley, as well as somebody that I had a lot of empathy for when I was reading
01:21the script.
01:22And that's what made me want to engage, even though, you know, some of his actions are morally and ethically
01:29questionable.
01:31It's still a kind of underlying reason and cause that I had empathy for.
01:36I think I think empathy is something we need a bucket load at the moment.
01:41Yeah, I think that's one of the one of the really successful things about this film is the fact that
01:47it is an action film.
01:48And it's got all the sort of fun, sort of nitty gritty action sequences.
01:52But at the same time, these characters are really searching and they're really asking questions in a very sort of
01:59intriguing, philosophical way.
02:01And they care, you know, they care and they're trying to make sense of it all.
02:05And all of that is a quality that I think would further us all.
02:11Even if you beat Charlize Theron in the movie.
02:16Yeah, a bit different to Merrick's, but, you know, you know, that's a nice person talking.
02:24Yeah.
02:25Speaking about Charlize Theron's character, in the end she says that she needed to remind how is to feel unbreakable
02:34and remarkable.
02:36So in your opinion, how can we feel remarkable and unbreakable every day?
02:41How can we do it?
02:43Well, I think we have to, I think that the sort of key thing is self-care.
02:50You know, I think that we live in a world where there's so much kind of going on and there's
02:54so much kind of toxicity around.
02:56And we often feel under so much pressure to achieve or that our needs won't be met or whatever,
03:04that we don't spend as much time as we could like caring for ourselves, really, and giving ourselves a bit
03:10of a break.
03:10You know, I think that something, one of the things that happens in this period of lockdown and all this
03:16stuff is that you do get to reflect on how much pressure
03:18you might put yourself under on a day-to-day basis and whether you need to do all that or
03:23whether you can be a bit more caring of yourself, you know, and just, you know, less punishing.
03:30I mean, that's a great answer.
03:32I mean, what do I, yeah, I think, I think absolutely in this, in this time of pausing and thinking
03:39about, you know, what, what, what, what do I need to sort of, you know, make myself happier?
03:44I think self-care is, is a, is a crucial part to that because I think, you know, it's fair
03:48to say everyone puts a lot of pressure on themselves to, to, to get where they think they need to
03:53get.
03:54In the movie, one character says that we don't have a say when it ends, but we can control how
04:01we live.
04:02So what is the thing that you want to control in your life now?
04:07If you can answer me, what do you care about today?
04:13Well, I don't know.
04:15I mean, I think that it, there are so many things that I care about that I, but the problem
04:20is most of those things, and this is, you know, that are beyond my control, you know, that it's, and
04:26that understanding that you can't sort of always just reach out and affect other people.
04:32in the way that you want, you can't get them to do whatever it is you want them to do,
04:36you know, that, uh, you have to be kind of accepting of the way, of, of the way, um, certain
04:42things are, obviously, if you can change things, it's important that you try to, but also you've got to kind
04:47of be understand as well, where, where that's not, where that's not possible.
04:52And you've got to be able to, um, in the same way as the sort of same thing, you've got
04:56to be able to forgive yourself for the things that you can't, you know, can't affect.
05:00Um, I think that's also, um, important.
05:04Yeah.
05:04Um, I mean, yeah, um, there's, there's so much stuff that you want to get, you know, you want to,
05:12you want to get right.
05:13You want to tell someone that what they think is wrong and so forth and make positive changes.
05:18Um, but I think you've almost got a, you know, baby steps.
05:23If you sort of, if you resonate with that stuff, then you yourself should, should act that way.
05:29And hopefully there's a ripple effect in some way, but, um, yeah, it's a tricky, tricky question.
05:36Okay.
05:37Thank you so much guys.
05:38Bye.
05:39Thank you.
05:40Bye.
