00:02Um, yeah!
00:16First of all, vampires have always been used as a metaphor
00:21to explain troubles in our community.
00:24Am I wrong or I think that this Nosferatu embodies mental health?
00:30Do you agree?
00:32Yes, I think that's definitely an aspect of this story.
00:35I mean, I think, you know, we meet Ellen at a time where
00:40there's not a lot of room for women to struggle with mental health
00:45or to really struggle with anything.
00:46You know, at the time it was like women were supposed to be
00:49kind of these few things that were set out for them
00:52and there was not a lot of room for them to be complicated
00:55and for the people around them to, like, create space for that.
01:00And so I think absolutely there's a huge aspect to this,
01:03which is that Ellen is, you know, in other words,
01:09like, struggling with the darkness within herself,
01:11and that's why she calls out to Nosferatu to Count Orlok in the beginning,
01:16is that there is this darkness living within herself
01:18and I think she doesn't know how to kind of reconcile with that within herself.
01:24And I think that as much as this is a story about kind of combating the evil that you come
01:28across in the world,
01:30it's also about, you know, coming to terms with the darkness that you can have inside yourself.
01:36Speaking about darkness, there's a line in the movie that says,
01:40we must know evil to destroy it, we must find it in ourselves.
01:45But, Nicholas, how can we not turn to the dark side when you find the evil inside you?
01:53It's not so easy.
01:54I think as soon as you understand something, then it's easier to control it in a way,
02:00or accept it, or whatever it might be, however you have to deal with it.
02:03But I think there's something about if you don't understand it internally,
02:06then it's easier to be seduced by whatever evil it might be,
02:09because you get swept away with it.
02:11Whereas if you look inside and understand it, then you kind of can see it for what it is,
02:15and then not get swayed by the external evil.
02:21It kind of makes sense.
02:22But yeah, that's a great way to put it.
02:23Lily Rose, you said that you studied Japanese dance to play the seizures that Ellen has.
02:31Do you believe that Sadako, the demon from the ring, and Ellen could be friends?
02:41Yeah, sure, yeah. Best girlfriends.
02:44I mean, I think, yeah, I think that there's a part of Ellen that could definitely go there.
02:52I mean, I think if she didn't kind of, I think that, you know, a lot of this is like
02:55also Ellen trying to process like the darkness within herself.
02:59And like Nick was saying, once you get to know something, you know, you can less easily be swayed or
03:06kind of tricked into it or something.
03:08And so I think that this movie is kind of a process of Ellen trying to understand this about herself
03:13and get to a place where she can accept it and where, you know, she can maybe actually do something
03:17good with it.
03:19Yeah.
03:20And Nicholas, it's the first time that we see Nosferatu or Dracula with moustache.
03:26I want to know what did you think when you saw the moustache?
03:32When I saw Bill's complete look, there was something that felt so real and rooted in history and felt like
03:40a real person.
03:41It didn't feel like Rob and Bill were trying to create a scary monster.
03:46I felt like they were trying to create something that existed, someone who existed and has become this.
03:51And that's what's more scary about the character, but also kind of appealing for, I suppose, in a way for
03:58Ellen and the other characters in the movie.
04:00At a point it's not just this hideous creature that's been created.
04:03There's something quite a nobleman who's become this.
04:06And so there was something about the costume, the makeup, everything that Bill brought to life that was it was
04:13a real dichotomy and mix of things emotionally as well as being terrifying.
04:18And Prof von Franz is a man of science, but he understands that we can't rely only on technology.
04:27Do you believe he's right? We nowadays rely too much on technology.
04:32Of course we do.
04:33Yeah.
04:34Yeah, definitely.
04:35And I think our world moves so fast and technology moves so fast and things are always new and there's
04:46always bigger and better and newer and all of that.
04:48And I think that in all of that we can kind of lose things from the past that were really
04:53important and that are really important and that can really help us.
04:56You know, whether that's like, you know, reading a book instead of like going on your phone or if it's
05:01like a homeopathic, you know, medicine kind of thing rather than just like time and space and boredom.
05:07Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
05:09Like there's a habit of just being like, we used to have so much more time to think.
05:11Yeah. And now our brains are kind of always input as opposed to just still.
05:16Absolutely.
05:17Thank you so much. You're both amazing in the movie.
05:19Thank you.
05:20Bye.
05:21Have a good one.
05:49Bye.
05:50Bye.
