Trascrizione
00:00I try to work out of intuition and not out of a full rational way
00:19First of all I want to thank you why green color
00:24Our flag like yours is green, white and red
00:29And I didn't want to use red because it would seem like blood all over
00:33So I went for green which is also used for hope often
00:39So I thought you know it's an interesting way to use green
00:46Speaking about colors, the rich guys are all fair skinned and light blonde there
00:53Instead their servants are black, there's still so much racism
01:00How can we stop seeing each other for our skin color?
01:08I hope it can change one day
01:11Of course Black Lives Matter took that discussion to the streets
01:17And unfortunately these things when we try to change things just by talking about them
01:26And you know to be clever about them
01:31The change never arrives
01:35So that's why violence turns out to be the only apparent solution
01:42Which of course only makes things work
01:44I don't know if you know Gattopardo is an Italian book
01:48This country made a movie
01:51With...
01:52Si, si
01:52At the end of that book they say that we need to change everything
01:57So everything will ever change
01:59Yeah, I remember
02:00Yeah, do you agree with this sentence in your movie?
02:04It's insane
02:05I, you know, I'd like to think there's hope
02:08Because otherwise why keep going?
02:11And if I had children I would tell them, you know
02:14I would tell the kids there is hope, you know
02:18But I don't think I'm gonna live
02:20We're not gonna live to see that change
02:22To see a better world
02:27I don't know why we never learn
02:30You were saying that violence is not the solution
02:35But how can we start the change?
02:38Even if we never did
02:39No, I have no idea
02:40The only thing I could do was to make a movie
02:44That talks about this in a strong way
02:47And opens a discussion
02:49And that's that
02:50I remember when I made Lucia, my other movie
02:53People were asking me
02:54How can we stop bullying?
02:56I don't know
02:56I just made the movie
02:58Because I'm interested in, you know
03:03I'd wish we could build a better society
03:05But how?
03:06Well, I'm just a filmmaker, I don't know
03:08I have a curiosity
03:09The first scenes of the movie
03:12What are?
03:13Because I thought it was a flash forward
03:15But it's not the main character
03:19What's that?
03:19It's many things at the same time
03:22The only thing I can tell you is
03:24I try to work out of intuition
03:26And not out of a full rational way
03:29And I wanted to trigger emotions
03:32And I wanted to set the mood
03:34And I wanted to make something different
03:36Than I've done in my other movies
03:38But mainly
03:41I didn't want to make a regular story
03:44And then everything goes crazy
03:45So from the beginning
03:47You sit in the theater
03:48And you have a hint
03:50Of where things are going
03:52But more on an emotional level
03:54Than a rational one
03:57My aunt's character
03:58She's the kindest character in the movie
04:02But kindness
04:05Is dangerous
04:06Let's say that
04:07Do you think that it's dangerous?
04:10No, I think what's dangerous
04:12Is that she's naive
04:13She has the will
04:14To make things better
04:17But she hasn't got a full understanding
04:21And also
04:23I think she wants to show
04:24How good she is
04:27I think there's
04:28No, I think it is
04:30And who cares
04:31If you're willing to improve things
04:34Even if it's to show
04:35How good you are
04:36It's better than the opposite
04:37But she's very naive
04:38And that's dangerous too
04:41Okay, thank you so much
04:42Sure, thank you
