Although flow He was nominated for the Academy Award, in international feature and animated films, not almost famous enough to like Beni Safe. Since the Latvia-made animal movie that works together to survive in a natural disaster, the director and actor strongly believes that everyone-really-needs to experience it for themselves.
Safe love for flow No specific technical exploits or innovations are born from the director Gints Zilbalodis; He only thinks that she is one of the best films he watched ever thanks to her direct story and wonderful pictures. But he also participated when ZILBALodis is presented with Critics Circit Award For the best moving movie, real joy for vision flow He was doing this with his 9 -year -old children, and Mauri, who loved her as much as their father did.
In a recent conversation with the shareholder at Vulture Dan Reillly, Safdie explains what makes him flow Very special, why did he want to try his children from their own conditions, and how he tries to prevent children from seeing very mature films as he did, and the moments of the bond that have great artwork.
When I saw the trailer for flowI went , Oh my God, this seems incredible. My next idea was, How do I make my children want to see this?
Although he was directly targeted for children, I didn’t want any idea that it was a movie that I wanted to see, or that was artistic. There is always a rooted bias that will have a child. I know I got it with my father. Oh, great. This is one of for him films. This is what he wants. I trade to see something boring. I didn’t want this to be the case. I wanted flow To be something they wanted to see.
I brought them to show the trailer and they were creating, like, “When does this come out!?” We saw it last November. They have never been going to Angelika, so they were on the basement, the metro stage, the screen is small and far – incredible. They went and told him as they do Badtington. When you see something with your children, this is useful for you, then you realize that both of them had the same feelings? This is the greatest.
My wife and I will talk about the films to be shown to children. Sometimes, it is: “I love to go to the ocean. I don’t want him to be afraid of that. Let’s skip Jaw“There are things I try to remember, to relieve myself a little; I saw Kramer against Kramer When I was 7 or 8 – maybe older, but definitely very small. Another I saw very early Bright. This scares hell from me. And they must be a lot The elderly to watch my films. They will ask why and I will say, “They are dealing with things you don’t need to think about now.”
There is an inherent nature as a parent, and you want to see the things that were important to you as a child, and hope that your children have the same feelings that you have. When it does not work, it’s sad. I thought, E, perhaps in another year. You have to choose and choose: What do you want to see and feel? If it is very safe, this is not fun. You need a little of these sharp edges there. I have no agenda with their tastes, but I think there is importance to see things that think a little differently.
with flowI did not want to force these deeper topics. The climate change is present but for a child, I do not know how much they understand. When they grow up, we hope they have scientific classes and learn about these things. But again, I forget that the news has all these crazy things on TV at 7:30. You are like, Oh my God, I am tense from showing a movie for them?
I am sure that the message of overcoming the differences comes through, though, only by feeling the children after that. The thing that you realized is that you will not get this information from it when you talk about it. Mainly, you will ask yourself somewhat, Did they spend a fun time? But you can feel that there is something more than just entertainment there. The way they were wandering, and how they carried themselves – they see things a little different now. There was no sense of sadness at all when we left the stage. The only question I asked, “So what do you think in the end?” Because I do not even understand what is happening when the bird raises. For them, it was just a real issue: “He did not float, remained.” And I was like, “Do you know what? That’s it. You are right. It has remained.” You just feel this way if you understand that everyone is working together, regardless of who they are. This is so deeply built that the movie will not work if he does not have it. You care about the cat, take care of animals, want to succeed, and want to see how they will do it. You really care.
What was really special flow It was the fact that my children took it without any artwork. They were in it all the time and I was excited because something like this was possible. It tells a story and does it well with great characters. It is just a great appearance, in the true sense of the word-beautiful and really unique. I did not stop thinking about it while stuck with them. It is useful to try it with your children, and discuss the adventures they saw on the screen with ways to improve your private life. These are ready -made meals: it was a great adventure, we can talk about it, and we spent a fun time, and everyone should watch this movie.
