00:00Thanks for reading it that way, too. That's really nice.
00:08Tori?
00:09I want to tell you something really cool.
00:13So, you really love science fiction. This is a sci-fi movie.
00:18Why, in your opinion, this genre describes better our reality
00:24the more we go far away from our world?
00:28Why do we see better our world from the distance?
00:32Great question. Very nice to meet you, Valentina.
00:34I do keep returning to science fiction. I love science fiction.
00:38I feel like science fiction has this wonderful ability
00:43to lose all the baggage associated with life.
00:48You can use it as a lever to zoom in.
00:56It's almost like a magnifying glass or a microscope or a telescope.
00:59You can zoom into a component of the human condition
01:03that otherwise may come across as too subtle in a regular drama.
01:09So, here, I wanted to use science fiction to look at what we choose to value.
01:15What is real? What is unreal?
01:16That question can go back and forth, but what we mean by real is what do we focus our time
01:25on?
01:26What do we value?
01:27What is something that deserves our love and attention and focus?
01:33And, you know, is it numbness or is it dealing with hardship because there's something valuable in the hardship?
01:44And so, you know, I feel like science fiction really is an exciting way to look at these human stories.
01:52Your movie explores the meaning of soulmates.
01:57How can we live when, even if we meet our soulmate, we can be happy with him or her?
02:04I think one of the best parts about life, sadly, is that it's not, it doesn't last forever.
02:11You know, I mean, strangely, that's a good thing because you are forced to value the time that you have
02:18with a person.
02:19Right. And, and, and, and you, you, you know, especially at this time in the world with a lot of
02:25so much suffering, you realize like, wow, what is important?
02:28Well, you know, your fam is important. Your loved ones are important.
02:32It's one of the things that Salma reveals so brilliantly in her performance, which is that these two are soulmates,
02:38but they're soulmates that are working to repair a broken relationship.
02:42Oddly enough, right?
02:42So the brain box at a certain point, without spoiling it, at a certain point, you realize that Isabel created
02:50the brain box as a way to bring appreciation back into her relationship.
02:56She had a man who's taking things for granted.
03:01He, you know, was complaining about this and complaining about that.
03:04And they live in Paris.
03:04They have everything wonderful.
03:05And yet still, what is it about human nature that starts taking things for granted?
03:11And she creates this complex mechanism to generate appreciation.
03:17You have to know the, the bad to appreciate the good or, you know, and, and yet it doesn't last.
03:23It's going to fade.
03:24And so you have to, you have to keep renewing that.
03:27You have to keep reminding yourself to maintain a relationship.
03:30You need to keep freshening it up through, through this reminder, I guess.
03:35Okay.
03:36Thank you so much.
03:37Bye.
03:38Thank you, Valentina.
03:38Thanks for, thanks for reading it that way too.
03:40That's really, that's really nice.
03:43Bye.
