00:00Noi pensi che sono potenti, ma i monstri in la storia sono triste.
00:05Alla monstri sono molto soltanto e molto triste.
00:08Sì, come si è?
00:22Since I was little my biggest dream was to be a mermaid.
00:28So, I really love the Christian Andersen novel.
00:32I too.
00:33And the world Disney movie.
00:34And all the sirens sing.
00:38Instead, your sirens, your mermaid, listen a lot.
00:43Why does she listen and doesn't sing?
00:46You know, in the first fairy tale the Germans had written, Undine,
00:53it came from France to Germany, this fairy tale.
00:58She's not a singer.
00:59She doesn't speak.
01:01Because she's very beautiful.
01:05She's innocent.
01:06She's half naked.
01:07But she can't sing and she can't speak.
01:10And because the male subjects, with their desire, they love it.
01:13That a woman can't sing and can't speak.
01:16It's just a body.
01:17She's waiting at home for me.
01:19Later, Hans Christian Andersen, he made her to a singer.
01:23But this is something which has not happened in the German fairy tale.
01:29But I thought about singing in the first draft of the script.
01:35Perhaps she could be a singer.
01:37But I think it was too cliché.
01:40And therefore, I said, I want a woman which is not like a singer or a dancer.
01:46Not just body.
01:48I want a woman which is also intellectual.
01:51And therefore, she's not singing.
01:52She's speaking and speaking about the history of Berlin.
01:58In a very, very good way.
02:00In the scene where her boyfriend, Christoph, asked her, can you speak for me?
02:10It's like singing.
02:11Yeah.
02:14Mermaids are creatures.
02:16She looks like a beautiful, normal woman.
02:21But creatures, monsters, in cinema and novels are always seen as different.
02:28As someone who has to be pushed away.
02:32Instead, she has the advantage of looking like a normal woman.
02:39So, I wanted to know, who are the real monsters today, in today's society?
02:46Where are the monsters?
02:47Who are?
02:48Who are monsters?
02:51That's okay.
02:52In war times, and so you find the monsters.
02:54But I think also that the men who take women, young women with them, and say, this is a love
03:05forever.
03:05And then they throw them away.
03:07It's also a little bit of a work of a monster.
03:12What Udine wants is an ordinary life.
03:16So, with someone, she falls in love.
03:22And not, she's always the object.
03:25But in this movie, the first time in her whole biography, she's the subject.
03:30Because she falls in love to a guy.
03:33I really love creatures, monsters.
03:36I too.
03:38And monsters are a powerful and huge metaphor since the Universal movie.
03:45So, what can we learn from monsters, in your opinion?
03:49I think, since we have these monsters from the Disney movies, we think that they are powerful.
03:58But the monsters in history are sad.
04:01Our monsters are very lonely and very sad, like ghosts.
04:05Monsters like the Cyclope are living alone on an island with one eye here.
04:11And also, the monster of Notre Dame.
04:18Glöcknam for Notre Dame.
04:19I don't know the word in English.
04:20Quasimodo.
04:21He's also lonely.
04:23Yeah.
04:25They are lonely.
04:28And I think a little bit of this loneliness is also in Udine.
04:31She's lonely.
04:32She has no friends.
04:33She has no partner, no affair.
04:36A real love affair.
04:39She's always alone.
04:40And at least she has to go back into the lake and wait for the next one with whom she
04:45will be alone.
04:46I really enjoyed the sound editing, sound effects, water, sounds.
04:53How did you work on the sound?
04:56It's something to do with the actors at the first five days of shooting.
05:01They are underwater.
05:03And I asked myself after the first day of shooting, why they are so lucky.
05:08They are lucky because they are in another element, water, diving and so.
05:12But they answered me because they are really, really clever and fantastic people, those both actors.
05:20They said because there is no dialogue.
05:23And this makes them happy.
05:25And because there is no dialogue, you hear more from the bubbles, from the breathing.
05:32And you hear the underwater sound.
05:34And this they hear underwater and they prefer it in comparing to dialogues.
05:44You can dance five days without speaking underwater.
05:48And this is great.
05:49And for me it was great to watch them.
05:52Thank you so much.
05:54Yes, thank you.
