and it's time. to dig deeper to get the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. turn the welcome to worlds apart in the struggle between good and evil for the

human soul is that all this applause in the history of the sun chilled to the bible and almost all the books that came after it how does one make this story which has been told millions of times seem a novel and piercing well to discuss that i'm now joined by italian film director paul origin of as a well it's great to talk to you thank you very much for your time now we are according to center view in st petersburg the part of the city that's most associated with. the great russian writer this is where he least this is where many of his novels i wonder if that place feels any special i think the. most important thing about this year skin is. this in the book you months or even. and. with my morris is the months or i think this is the common point many of your films deal with.

same themes that are central to dostoyevsky's writings the meaning of good and evil moral choice freewill conscious and subconscious do you just sad to raise those eternal themes in in a new context or do you actually try to add something new to the conversation. or try to say something new. in the expresso way in my movies or try to make out a fridge about some t.v. you know in my last two movies perfect stranger in the. grease or kind of. between the idea of the movie and the reflection is a perfect stranger. that we usually. don't know the personal ground. and the police sometimes we

don't know ourselves so this is the truth about this to move this. you mention the place already and i think in that movie in particular you deal with the same dilemma that dostoyevsky are raised in crime and punishment how much evil i can allow myself for the sake of good that i seek and i think you raise an additional question of what is good and what is evil because for just ask it was very clear what is good and evil but for you it's much more ambiguous much more interchangeable how can you make a moral choice when your definition of good and evil is not even certain. years because for me the definition it's not. good and is the plan from the situation i start. from the idea that it's a good. except the way we are in some situation. to

do to be better. and. this is the reason of the present of this more to understand how our moral point of view could change year in. account of situation and how important is the five that we have been. to understand the use one of the screenplay serious just for. i agree with some phrases about. that for me it's really important to decide which kind of direction to form and this freezes. from and know exactly who we are from where. there is nothing more. than see in the three days of the fight the between god and we are and this

is the reason why. i use a lot of the very very strictly close up you have a very interesting character of a nun there who stopped hearing god and she's given an assignment to become pregnant president in order to hear god again which proves to be a real blessing for her but that's because she has an external force that man with a diary telling her what to do giving her the directions but in real life we do not have the voice telling us what to do or doing. how i think that you're alive we have a voice because the man that worries for me is where you are for me that man that a person. different. if you. i believe you

could be gold or could be there. could be your coalition or just a mirror but at the weight a boy is inside in that movie there is also a story line about an elderly lady who is trying to save her husband from the advent of alzheimer's disease and at certain points she understands that in sacrificing for the loved one she cannot allow herself to sacrifice herself and that's i think the very central question to to a lot of how much you can give to the loved one and how much you have to keep for yourself do you have a rule of thumb or personal rule of thumb in your life. i think the. lady. from the. main core of the movie of the movie because she's. there is something. inside

of us. who. don't have to discover who are really lucky and this is the central meaning of this koran. and she also says a certain point that people who didn't have to contend with their darker sides of the like you want is that this isn't true because can you be as authentic genuine self without seeing evil in the without seeing your dark side yes yes it's really true i think it's real i think every one of us inside. of dockside really bout not everyone in our world lives to freeze with. if we don't have to face all for i think we have a very very lucky because maybe our lives go in our way to we don't have to face off with this side but can you become

a real genuine you without doing that because. as i was preparing i came across a quote from carl jung us with psychiatry is having a comeback these days and one of his famous quotes was dubbed in filth shall be found that you can only improve yourself by looking in the darkest corners of your soul can you become your better self without addressing your dark ourselves. i think going down your backside you can improve your. but it's also a very sure because i think that you can improve if you go down then you are able to come in how sometimes when you go too much deeper the risk is that. all of characters your. sure is

a struggling vidar a darker side but you never show a person who fully crossed into the evil side and we see a lot and lots of people like that these days people who go on shooting sprees people who kill torture and no want to gain something for themselves or their loved ones but just for the sake of causing pain and suffering do you believe in absolute darkness in the in the human soul or do you still think that no matter what there's still some alive flaps. all over. goodness inside since. i don't know in which. we. really believe this. that we sure. it's. our condition our life it's not always the band from our. show. it's the it's

a very general general and i'm sure impossible question to answer but how would you maximize the amount of goodness in the world i think it's possible like wish. really and you put that the question is what paolo we have to take a very short break now but we'll be back in just a few moments stay tuned. i'm a c. on the line circumstances that's a load for these emergencies of this very very eventful violence that i think that we may get the sons and even grandsons of guys at some point in the future it's

primarily a political issue in iraq that has taken on the minutes we. put on the traditions. what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. more somehow i want to be. the two going to be prosperous like them before three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters in the halls. for six. dollars. dollars. dollars on the dollar adalah is what i wasn't doing. when we got garrett over here we carried the music with us.

we are here with a drag here. by good luck going to get rid of those who are not go away who will not die quietly. real the hard to do what we do is the true. welcome back to worlds apart but the tally and film director our jennifer has that knowledge just before the break we talked about this theme or how much or betray yourself or your loved ones and that theme is very prominent in your are there

perfect strangers and one of the most memorable lines for me is that people need to learn how to break up shouldn't they try to learn how to stay together first. the. will to use the good. in different. sometimes we don't go so deep and we were mean enough superficially love and that that. could be perfect for anyone because we are scare to go. but the depth level you can make an effort to break up or you can make an effort to stay together on there jane . why do you think people should go towards separating rather than trying to become real with one another. because it's easier to get through many

of your male characters in that movie complain a lot about boredom that life is boring for them. is boredom for extreme you're doing yes. there is one character and i think you're characters in particular who believe that married life is boring is that something that you can blame on the other person or is that something that you have to work on yourself you'll know it's. it's not for. life it's boring to. live could be boring. without something new. this is what i i see around me. some couples. than on fifty. need something new. to make more

in life and to gobble up in perfect stranger to go over our needs is the leader. segment yes an exciting thing for the outside but it's really little things and i think a lot of coble prefer to stay together. sometimes for more of some time for the child sometimes for common opinion. and they remain together for a lot of. motivation don't split up poor and find outside the little pool. going on in perfect strangers he also externalized conscious element but instead of a man with a diary like in the place you have a mobile phone that is kind of externalizing all the war is all the concerns all

the secrets do you think that technology change the way people build their relationships really change your exposure only in this moment because we are cross generation. because in unison with us though we did in mumbai form and if you should. change. the way in which we have. exposure to young jewish because young jewish. have any kind of through relationship with their from you know your from yes right . in the first is now. freeze to freeze but it is with the are from one that is our fall so. change of stuff first so exposure lee your relationship an explosion in sentiment

a relationship because we don't yet see. something light for example shy now to become aware because we are. we don't have to face our part in the first book i agree with you here the technology makes it easier to get to know somebody very fast and you get intimate much closer but you still have to make the same moral choices i mean whether to cheat and not to cheat whether to make a certain move or not to make a certain all the main questions are still there. years. with first though because. you can't really. with a lot of their son the same. sue. why can't more nation in the same town with them person know where and this the humen is different if you have face to face or if you are. a foreigner

between you and the other person as you're talking about it. idea came to my mind that the form is a little bit like alcohol it takes away your inhibitions so when you have a personal communication there are many inhibitors that keep your back yes absolutely you have a month old so. it's different there and so in time ok now i have you front of me if you make me a question i have to give you a man sir immediately i can think by two million in with your phone you can put the other person then by. you can think about. you can. you. know immediately communication not spontaneous communication well i think you can both have very very spontaneous communication but also you can delay it. on some

level it gives you more control. yes you move through all the different kind of spontaneous now there's a very interesting moment in perfect strangers when has been does put in the situation when he has to either come out as has a sexual cheater or as gay and i was struggling with him a little bit because even if he was unfaithful to his wife with the man he would still be a cheater wouldn't be yes he have to be to make a choice to be unfaithful. to be feeling like it's value even if he feels like isn't he also a cheater yeah yeah yes but. for me what this report in the car. is. a story about a gate from a different point of view. the most important the moment of the character

and when you see i have been for two hours and it's enough. to speak about be with long the birds there the leaves for to our situation now from what i know a round fifteen remakes of perfect strangers have been made around the world including one recently in russia and i heard you say in one of the interviews that you don't really like the dhea of remaking of your films why do you allow it. because i can't stop the. biggest production company. make-a and day hour around the world because. it's smart money questions. what i say that i don't like so much but for me it's not

a problem if you ask me just after. the year like. so sue it's normal because a movie is like a child for me and went there is someone that changes your child it's like change the hey you're on the high. you don't like it but it's normal and. our success in life perfect stranger a lot of kountry would like to make of me. not for change the story be good because usually this is almost the same because they like to put some log. for example about two weeks ago. remake of prayer for strangers worse really is and about the about eight million six dollars first weekend and now after two weekends is twenty five million dollars

maybe with the italian one with subtitles it's of course you were to make this kind of the big box office so i understand commercial. point of view make a lot of a make it's also very striking that this plot will be so easily translated into other cultures because fifty very different cultures from korean to tell him to russian found something in it that they relate so easily what is it about that club that anything is so accessible to all around the world because the idea and the and and the we knew. the idea is international it's not local. anyone can understand these deep trust for mission.

where fifteen remake a. perfect stranger has been ruled in seventy five. maybe this is idea that could be understood everywhere you have in all of your films you have a very intense focus on the story and the psychology of it is to many a static tricks or special effects. for the traditional storytelling. you know you don't know. things you know who the special three linger. movie. for me is. like movie or. the emotions my you get from the scene. some emotion with.

ok my movies are. all your films involve a bit of a very realistic magic they have both improbable and very believable set up i think they make people feel a little bit like children without letting them forget that they're adults so this is a very interesting kind of condition that people relate to. do you agree with that or is that just my interpretation. quite agree it's interesting through their position about. working on your. first english language film the first day of my life which has been described as a new york sad suicide try. how is it progressing so far. in the first day of my lives from my move some although. i decide to. quit and the list already seen i'm up there every way because you need any friends

they are from allies who are simply an incredible success for a book because we have six who are present so i understand that maybe that kind of story could be poured down in this moment because he's really hope for the story it's about for person that. try to start again from the bottom. and maybe in this moment in which a word the same fire. we need story of hope for a story story or for a start and the first day of my life that. it's. i heard you say in the one engineer that unlike previous selves that dealt with the demons people have to confront these stories more about redemption you know finding

something in you that allows you to leave for earth finding your own angels on a personal level what do you find more difficult to keep your demons under control or to talk with your personal angels. for me. to feel it's the world with my android sabbah. my personal. so it's difficult to go with myself. and finally if i may i know that for most of your film career you've been in control of both writing and directing but in the united states film industry is very compartmentalize everybody is responsible for his own are her own little area did you have to give up any of the controls in order to pursue this is profitable in this case no because the model live is a movie we've from a european saw and saw all of the production for my friends the english movie is

european production of me production is minutes a few minutes then use a couple of action on the box i will work in this like you need really. everything's casting script and reaction and editing music out of them anyway i have some requests from united states from hollywood from movies in. to shoot in american way so. i think it's different. but anyway we're in there because yes you do your work you do like the way someone does think about the script and someone. but over the court. and sue you have to have a discreet about the very. very much looking forward to the

next film and thank you very much for sharing your thank you i encourage our viewers to keep this conversation going our social media pages out of the. same place same time here and also part of. join me every thursday on the alex simon shore and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics this list i'm showbusiness i'll see you then.
