00:00It seems a natural thing, doesn't it? Someone who's intensely lonely and doesn't know how to communicate with other people.
00:05He has taught himself how to speak, but still people kind of run in fear from him.
00:08That he would turn to the cinema, right? Which, you know, is a common experience.
00:14We don't feel so alone. We're able to experience feelings without having the discomfort of talking about them with other
00:21people.
00:21There's also something great about sitting with other people, staring at the same thing.
00:25People have much better conversations driving in cars together than facing each other over dinner tables, etc.
00:31When you can look in the same way, you talk about deeper things.
00:35So for him, it's that he comes to be best friends in his mind, you know, with Ronnie Reed, played
00:40by Jake Gyllenhaal.
00:41It's sort of a Fred Astaire kind of a character.
00:44And because he's had such an abysmal father in Frankenstein who just completely abandoned him, he's just my most pathetic
00:49individual ever.
00:50He's learning how to be a man from Ronnie Reed.
00:54And so when we first meet him, meeting the bride and meeting Euphronius, he's imitating them.
01:00And then he realizes, oh, they're cut from a whole different cloth.
01:04These women are authentic and they're brilliant.
01:07And he needs to bring more to the table.
