00:00This movie is so beautiful, and my favorite line from it, and this comes from me having the off
00:05existential crisis, is the world needs a hermit in the woods as much as it needs a preacher on
00:11the pulpit, which I think is really just a beautiful message about purpose and the idea
00:14that we're all here for a reason. And I'm curious just for both of you, how you kind of internally
00:20process that idea and what your individual purpose is. Starting with a big one, yeah.
00:26Yeah, trying to figure that out. I think that's part of what's so magnetic about Grania is
00:35that, you know, it is what is the purpose. That's what none of us really know. We're just
00:40trying to figure it out. And day by day, the film is a kind of exploration of, well, what
00:46is it that really matters in the end? What is it that you're going to remember? And probably
00:51it is fleeting moments of happiness that really constitute a life.
00:56And I think, you know, the idea that nothing is more important than anything else. I think
01:01in that same scene, the idea that everything's connected and the dead tree is important as
01:06a living one. But, you know, the hermit in the woods is an ordinary life that we celebrate
01:12in this movie. And at the end of the day, that is dignified, that is heroic and that is special
01:19as much as scientists and astronauts and all these other, you know, but everyone has their
01:26place in the ecosystem of the world.
01:28And that makes it a unique movie because, I mean, movies are generally about those kind
01:31of like outstanding people. But to have a truly human story, I think, is incredibly valuable.
01:36And most of us, I think, view ourselves as part of the ordinary mass.
01:42And that we're all part of something, you know, no one person is more important than
01:48another. And the same with nature. In order to survive, there has to be a reciprocal relationship
01:55and respect.
