SPOILER ALERT!

Transcript
00:00I was so moved by the ending of this movie and the carriage burial.
00:04I was curious what it was like to film that moment and how it felt for you to say goodbye
00:08to Tommy in that way.
00:10It's an interesting exercise because I produced the film as well.
00:14I must have watched it about 500 times, so it kind of takes the curse off it a little bit.
00:21It wasn't like when you see a film that you're an actor for hire and you turn up and you
00:26watch it the first time.
00:27It has a big impact on you, but when you're looking at it over and over again, you look at
00:32it in a very clinical kind of a way.
00:34But I was seeing it through these guys, their performances around Dorado and everything,
00:40and that was very, very moving because they're all fucking incredible actors.
00:46But you kind of see it reflected through their eyes, I suppose, and that voiceover that Steve wrote, which was
00:53really beautiful.
00:57But I hadn't really thought about it.
01:00It was their performances, the visuals, and then that Lancome song, which is just a heartbreaker in Ray D. Pete's
01:08voice.
01:09Absolutely.
01:10So everything, all the elements were there, but I was just trying to look at it very much from a
01:15storytelling point of view.
