00:00Hi, nice to meet you, Valentini Italy movie player.
00:03I'm so glad to see you because this now is my new favorite Christmas movie.
00:07It's amazing.
00:15These three people are three people who have been left behind,
00:26but in some ways they really find the courage to open up to other people.
00:33So I'm asking you, since you play them,
00:36how can we find the courage to really open up with others?
00:41That's hard.
00:42It takes a lot of courage, that's for sure.
00:44And safety.
00:45Yeah, it's a bold thing to have to do.
00:49You put yourself on the line.
00:50But you know, I think I've definitely had experiences.
00:55New York, being on the subway,
00:57where somebody's going through something so bad
01:01or it's just so heavy on their brain,
01:04strangers have come up to me and they'll be like,
01:06blah, blah, blah, and I'll be like, whoa.
01:08That's interesting.
01:08It's almost easier with a stranger, actually.
01:11It's almost easier to give yourself over to a stranger like that
01:14than someone you know in a funny way.
01:16Yeah.
01:16Which happens in this movie because they're kind of strangers to each other.
01:19It's hard to do, but the more we can practice it, I think, the better.
01:25So take the subway, yes.
01:29And your character, Paul, your character says
01:31that history isn't just the study of the past,
01:34but it's an explanation of the present.
01:37So to you both, in your opinion,
01:39what this movie says about today's America?
01:43is the same.
01:46The explanation of why it's just screwed up now.
01:49Yeah.
01:50Yeah.
01:51It's exactly the same.
01:52It pretty much hasn't changed.
01:53History repeats itself.
01:55But we're supposed to learn from it.
01:56I know.
01:57That's the whole point of history.
01:59And in some ways we do, but in a lot of ways...
02:02If there's any movement forward, it's just tiny.
02:05It's incremental movement forward.
02:07It's not any...
02:07It hasn't moved forward much.
02:10I love the ending.
02:11The ending is amazing.
02:13I want to ask to you both,
02:14how important is having someone
02:16in a certain point of our life
02:19that says, you can do it.
02:22You can do this.
02:23How important is it, in your opinion?
02:25I mean...
02:26It's everything.
02:27Everything, yeah.
02:28I think you need just one, though.
02:30I don't think it has to happen, you know...
02:32All the time.
02:33All throughout your life, constantly,
02:34somebody reassuring you.
02:35Yeah.
02:36But to have one...
02:39because I had one early in my life,
02:41but I still hold on to, as an adult,
02:45what they said then.
02:47It's carried me through.
02:49But, yeah.
02:49I think that would be rather sad
02:51if someone never had...
02:53Never had that kind of encouragement.
02:54It'd be brutal.
02:55Was it a teacher?
02:56Who was it?
02:57Yeah, it was a teacher.
02:59Teachers.
03:00Yeah, teachers are huge.
03:01How important is that, in the end,
03:04they only shake hands and not hug,
03:08in your opinion?
03:10Very important.
03:10I mean, first of all,
03:13just in the playing of it,
03:15I think the restraint of emotion
03:16is more powerful
03:18than letting all the emotion go out.
03:20but also, I think,
03:21the time period
03:22and who that man is
03:23and who the kid is
03:25and men and things like that.
03:27And I think
03:28as much as he's changed,
03:30he still hasn't changed enough
03:31to be able to do that.
03:33So there's still, you know...
03:34I mean, it's real.
03:36That's how...
03:37People don't transform suddenly
03:38and suddenly he can hug the guy.
03:40It's like,
03:41he still can't quite get to that place.
03:43He still has a lot of ground to cover
03:46before he can do that.
03:47and it's sad.
03:50It's sad that they can't do that.
03:52But at least
03:53they see each other
03:55in a different way
03:56and in an important way
03:57and hopefully leave a mark
03:58on each other.
03:59All these people
03:59hopefully leave a mark on each other.
04:01To me, it shows just
04:02how much they have grown,
04:03if that makes sense.
04:05Well, yeah, I mean,
04:05they can do that at least.
04:07Yeah, for sure.
04:08Which is huge.
04:09Huge.
04:09I love the line,
04:11do not cross the Rubicon.
04:14How important it is sometimes in life
04:16to cross the Rubicon.
04:18Sometimes we have to.
04:20That's a great point
04:21because they do cross the Rubicon.
04:23They cross the Rubicon
04:24the entire movie.
04:24That's really interesting.
04:26I never thought of it.
04:27It's a really good point
04:28and that's a really...
04:29That's great
04:30because this man
04:31is too afraid
04:31to cross a Rubicon
04:33but he does with these people.
04:35Does she...
04:35We force you to.
04:36Does she cross a Rubicon?
04:37She crosses the Rubicon
04:38by going to Boston.
04:39Aha.
04:40To go see her sister.
04:41Ah, yes.
04:42They all cross the Rubicon
04:43by going to Boston.
04:44That's true.
04:46The Charles River
04:47of the Rubicon.
04:49Thank you.
04:50So let's check the subway
04:52and cross the Rubicon.
04:53It's really important.
04:54Right now.
04:55Yeah.
04:56So I really hope
04:59that you receive
05:00at least an Oscar nomination
05:01but I really hope
05:03you win
05:05because you are both amazing.
05:06This movie is amazing.
05:08We'll win it.
05:08Yeah.
05:09Really?
05:10Can we say that?
05:11I'm going to win it.
05:12No, no, no.
05:14Put your money here.
05:16Put all of your money here.
05:17He's going to win.
05:18I'm going to lose it.
05:19You're going to see me
05:20just laid out on the floor.
05:22Just...
05:24I'm getting on all of you.
05:26Yeah, yeah.
05:27I feel it.
05:29Thank you so much.
