I had a sort of profound moment when I was at the Toronto Film Festival
and it was the first time I'd seen the movie with an audience.
And it was amazing because all in a moment, people were like raucous
and just loved the slapstick and laughed, howling with laughter.
And then in just an instant, something really, whether it be a loss
or something shocking that would happen and the audience was just,
you could hear a pin drop and like an audible gasp.
And it was amazing to feel like there was this shared experience
and people felt the gravity of the story.
Today you boys will be involved in such activities as war games.
Ambush technique.
I don't think I can do this.
Ross, of course you can.
I first heard about this project actually from Chris Hemsworth
who had just finished working with Taika on Thor Ragnarok
and he just, it wasn't even I think even a suggestion that I would be a part of it.
He just said there's this incredible script of Taika's, you have to read it.
And then it came again to me through my agent who said
there's this incredible script of Taika's, you have to read it.
And I read it and I just was blown away by how beautifully written it was,
how touching it was, poignant and different.
It was just so different.
I had never read anything like it before.
And I think a lot of people that have seen it say
they've never seen anything like it before.
Scarlet is just incredible.
I love her so much and I've never seen her do anything like this performance
and I just think she's incredible.
The kids are amazing.
Roman, who plays Jojo, blew me away
and he's such an emotionally engaged kid.
He's very smart and very sensitive
and that's really what you want from children
if you're going to use them as actors.
They took me in.
She's kind.
She treats me like a person.
You two seem to be getting on well.
She doesn't seem like a bad person.
I'm the enemy.
I mean, it's hard because this movie is obviously very funny
but very serious subject matter.
So, I mean, it was hard because at times we're playing around,
we're improvising, you know,
but the subject matter is so heavy.
But I think the resulting film is just very powerful
and very entertaining and I really hope people come to see it
and appreciate the message behind it.
