00:00The first movie is very much about, like, the use of fear to manipulate different cultures.
00:05This one's about stolen land and gentrification.
00:07I mean, how are you two reacting to that kind of material when you're reading the script?
00:12I mean, I find it very emotional.
00:14It's amazing, too, because I feel like I always have to step out of it,
00:17like I did with the first one, and go, this was written years ago.
00:20Like, this is not about current events.
00:22It's not about the present.
00:23This is about the human condition, because the truth is history repeats itself
00:26over and over and over and over and over again.
00:28And so we can all see ourselves as different characters at different points in history.
00:33But that's what's so powerful about it.
00:36Not because it's capturing something that's happening now.
00:38It's because it is universal, timeless, human condition-based.
