00:00I mean, I'm singing a lot of Chappell Rowan right now.
00:08Your son did not arrive at his destination.
00:12You're responsible for his safety.
00:13In this movie you sing a lot, you have a beautiful voice.
00:17These songs are almost like, they embody hope.
00:22Do you really believe that in desperate times, music, art is what can save us?
00:28Yeah, I mean, I think it's just human nature to create art of all different forms in order to make
00:36sense out of the world.
00:37And as you say, to find hope in sort of hopeless situations.
00:42I think the beautiful thing about incorporating that into a film set during the Second World War is that art
00:49is one of the few things, especially music, I think that is so accessible to everyone.
00:54It doesn't cost anything to create music and communities can come together to do that together.
01:03So, yeah, so I think it's inherently hopeful and it will always be the sort of this necessity that I
01:11think we have as a human race, definitely.
01:13There's a beautiful scene in the subway, if it says that there are no walls there, because some people want,
01:23even if outside there's war, they want to rise up walls in the subway.
01:31Why, in your opinion, even in desperate times like war, we want to build walls?
01:38And why we are still doing it in 2024?
01:42I think that it always stems from fear and people, and it's not justifying it at all.
01:52But the lack of understanding or the want to understand means that you are making everyone else other.
02:02And again, incredibly kind and loving.
02:06But if fear takes over, the opposite starts to come out.
02:11So, yeah, so I think that's why we needed that moment in the film, for sure.
02:18And it's tackling race in such a sort of sophisticated way, I think, that it was really important to have
02:26at least one moment like that.
02:28That wasn't just between children, but showed how this is something that can come out in anyone.
02:34And speaking about love, Ife's name means love in Nigerian, how important it is, in your opinion, to show love
02:43to others, not only little children like the boy, the main character, but to everybody.
02:50How important it is to show love and empathy to others?
02:54It's incredibly important.
02:56And, yeah, it's the most important thing to be open and vulnerable and caring.
03:02And, yeah, absolutely.
03:03It's interesting that Ife is a character that basically shows another way to the young boy.
03:11They say it's an adventure for children only in the movie.
03:15Do you believe that movies like this one can really show another way to young people?
03:22Um, yeah, I guess so.
03:24I mean, I guess that's what every movie does is that it's, if it's done well, is that it's trying
03:29to show you a slightly different perspective that's come from another person, but that's still you can connect to and
03:37relate to.
03:39Yeah.
03:39What is a song that when you sing it gives you hope?
03:43Hmm.
03:44What's a song when I sing it, it gives me hope.
03:51I mean, I'm singing a lot of Chapel Rowan right now.
03:53I don't know how big she's been in Italy yet.
03:55I'm sure she's making her way over there.
03:58Um, I don't know.
04:00I mean, I, I, I'll sing all sorts.
04:02I, I've, I grew up singing a lot of like Stevie Nicks and stuff.
04:07Um, I don't know if Stevie's stuff is hopeful necessarily.
04:11There's a lot of like traditional Irish music that's very hopeful because again, um, historically speaking, we were such a,
04:20like Italy, such a poor, uh, place.
04:24And I think that this human spirit, just like the Italians became so rich and colorful and beautiful.
04:32And so, um, there's a lot of music from back in the day that is very hopeful that's come from
04:40Ireland for sure.
04:41Thank you so much.
04:41Thank you.
04:42You're amazing in the movie as always.
04:43Thank you.
04:44Thanks.
04:45Bye.
05:02Bye.
