Aaahh so cool!

Fantastic interview.

Thank you!

Great interview. I was a bit distracted during the film and didn't get a chance to properly sit with it afterwards but this helped re-orient myself and see what it was doing more clearly.

Uhm, if you think that the gesture is [holds up hands as if to welcome someone], then you missed the point. It’s a reference to Jesus’s pose on the cross. It’s about enduring the world in order to help it.

I haven't been able to get out to the theater and catch this yet, and you and I are only tertiary internet movie buds, but I feel like you getting to interview him about this is a big win for me.
