  1. 0:00I was more impressed when she started
  2. 0:02speaking alien.
  3. 0:03>> Oh, yeah.
  4. 0:03>> Dude,
  5. 0:03>> [laughter]
  6. 0:04>> and I met that alien. She dropped some
  7. 0:05alien on you. Some
  8. 0:07>> Exactly.
  9. 0:07>> Yes. That's very good.
  10. 0:09>> Wow. Maybe he Do you understand that?
  11. 0:12>> I mean, he looks so
  12. 0:15>> It sounds like it's real. Do you
  13. 0:17understand when I
  14. 0:17>> Was that your lunch order?
  15. 0:19>> [laughter]
  16. 0:29>> Delighted to have both of you on Star
  17. 0:30Talk. Thank you.
  18. 0:32>> Thank you.
  19. 0:32>> Thank you, Coleman. My gosh.
  20. 0:34>> And just I had some fast questions. We
  21. 0:36have just limited time together. So,
  22. 0:39Emily, apparently, [clears throat]
  23. 0:41this is not your first alien rodeo.
  24. 0:43>> I know.
  25. 0:44>> What's up with that?
  26. 0:45>> I don't know. And what's funny is as a
  27. 0:47kid, I really didn't like anything to do
  28. 0:50with space. I didn't watch Star Wars.
  29. 0:53I didn't like the James Bond movie where
  30. 0:55he's in space. I know.
  31. 0:56>> of those is in space. Yes. Yes.
  32. 0:58>> I wanted to see James Bond rolling
  33. 1:00around in Turks and Caicos on the beach.
  34. 1:02I
  35. 1:02>> [laughter]
  36. 1:03>> did not want to see him in a silver
  37. 1:04onesie. I know.
  38. 1:06But but yes, I seem to be very attracted
  39. 1:08to alien movies.
  40. 1:10>> Wow, okay. So, that's that's almost on
  41. 1:12brand now for you.
  42. 1:14>> brand. I'm going to make it a thing.
  43. 1:15>> Yeah. And I'm just curious, in this one,
  44. 1:19you were kind of inhabited by the alien.
  45. 1:21How What's the way to describe that?
  46. 1:23>> say imbued. Imbued by these These kind
  47. 1:28of non-human super powers, but not in a
  48. 1:30sort of Marvel character sense, but
  49. 1:33she's ultimately imbued with a great
  50. 1:36capacity for empathy.
  51. 1:38>> Yes. And to
  52. 1:40either find or install empathy in
  53. 1:43others.
  54. 1:44>> Yes.
  55. 1:45>> make eye contact with.
  56. 1:47>> Yes.
  57. 1:47>> That's a superpower right there.
  58. 1:49>> I think if we could all do that in life,
  59. 1:51I think we would all be a lot happier
  60. 1:53and more peaceful.
  61. 1:54>> But there'd be the evil set of those
  62. 1:56people who would abuse that power, of
  63. 1:58course.
  64. 1:59>> That's true. She chooses not to. She's
  65. 2:01She's truly imbued with this with this
  66. 2:03power to kind of give people a sense of
  67. 2:05belonging, to make people feel seen,
  68. 2:07feel understood, even if they have
  69. 2:09behaved badly, had the worst day. I
  70. 2:11think she has this ability to see the
  71. 2:13shadow of everybody's lives and have
  72. 2:15enormous understanding for it.
  73. 2:17>> And if the movie had another title, it
  74. 2:19would be Emily Blunt's face.
  75. 2:22>> [laughter]
  76. 2:22>> Yes, because
  77. 2:24>> Is it just face?
  78. 2:25>> Well, every turn, there's your face
  79. 2:28reacting to a thing.
  80. 2:29>> Yeah.
  81. 2:30>> And the audience's emotions flow through
  82. 2:33your face. Not so much what you say, cuz
  83. 2:37that's an actor who speaks lines, but of
  84. 2:39course an actor is also emoting
  85. 2:41>> Mhm.
  86. 2:41>> through facial expression. We felt it
  87. 2:43and I just want to congratulate you
  88. 2:44>> Thank you.
  89. 2:44>> on that because we we followed you the
  90. 2:47whole way through.
  91. 2:48>> Thank you. Well, she's thrust into an
  92. 2:50incoherent situation and experience and
  93. 2:52so I think if she can be you
  94. 2:55as she tries to walk you through it and
  95. 2:57navigate through something so unknown.
  96. 2:59>> Yeah.
  97. 2:59>> And I think I think it's in a way the
  98. 3:01beauty of Steven's characters. He's he
  99. 3:03he likes outsiders. He likes people who
  100. 3:07um might be misunderstood or
  101. 3:08misunderstand themselves. He kind of
  102. 3:10likes to put these people through the
  103. 3:11ringer.
  104. 3:12>> And have us explore that that
  105. 3:14profile alongside you at the same time.
  106. 3:16>> they're very relatable. They're very
  107. 3:18idiosyncratic characters that he creates
  108. 3:21in this high concept [clears throat]
  109. 3:22world. So I think it's what I love most
  110. 3:24about these films and about the kinds of
  111. 3:26scenes that we all got to play is
  112. 3:27there's such humanity in there.
  113. 3:30>> You okay?
  114. 3:32Hey, Maggie, you okay?
  115. 3:33You okay? You all right?
  116. 3:46Where
  117. 3:47did you learn
  118. 3:54Yeah.
  119. 4:02>> Go
  120. 4:03>> With your permission, you spoke fluent
  121. 4:06Your character spoke fluent
  122. 4:08>> [laughter]
  123. 4:09>> Yeah.
  124. 4:09>> Korean, Russian. That was as fluent as
  125. 4:12I've ever heard on the streets of
  126. 4:14>> [clears throat]
  127. 4:14>> Koreatown here. So, did they help you
  128. 4:17out on that?
  129. 4:17>> I had a wonderful Korean teacher and I
  130. 4:20had a wonderful Russian teacher and I
  131. 4:23said to Steven is I I I need to start
  132. 4:25like eight weeks out.
  133. 4:27>> Yeah.
  134. 4:28You're an actor. You That's what you do.
  135. 4:30>> So, that was that was it. It was it was
  136. 4:32that and then and and and and they were
  137. 4:35wonderful with me and it should sound
  138. 4:37like it is coming out of her like
  139. 4:39waterish way.
  140. 4:40>> But but but okay, but listen, Steven
  141. 4:41also set her up in the most
  142. 4:42extraordinary way. She It's a winner. I
  143. 4:45I I want to watch that scene again and
  144. 4:46again of you entering and coming in you
  145. 4:48have all these other things you're
  146. 4:49navigating and then you drop into
  147. 4:51Korean. I'm like
  148. 4:52>> [laughter]
  149. 4:53>> I feel like I'm like oh, I would need
  150. 4:54the camera to go right when I start that
  151. 4:55Korean so I can watch it in my head, but
  152. 4:57I was like that's when I was like hats
  153. 5:00off.
  154. 5:01>> Thank you, baby.
  155. 5:01>> [clears throat]
  156. 5:02>> Yeah, it's really really outstanding.
  157. 5:04>> Okay, however however, I was more
  158. 5:07impressed when she started speaking
  159. 5:09alien.
  160. 5:16Oh, yeah.
  161. 5:17>> [laughter]
  162. 5:18>> She's got some alien on you. Some
  163. 5:20Exactly.
  164. 5:21>> Yes. That's very good.
  165. 5:23>> Wow. Maybe he Do you understand that?
  166. 5:25>> I mean he looks so
  167. 5:28>> It sounds like it's real. Do you
  168. 5:30understand it all?
  169. 5:31>> Was that your lunch order?
  170. 5:32>> [laughter]
  171. 5:36>> So, Colman, dude. Colman Domingo, that's
  172. 5:38the best name ever.
  173. 5:39>> Oh, thank you. Thank you.
  174. 5:40>> We all want that name.
  175. 5:41>> Isn't it wild that it's actually my real
  176. 5:43name?
  177. 5:43>> Re- Really?
  178. 5:44>> It's not made up at all.
  179. 5:44>> It's not on. Let me see your birth
  180. 5:45certificate right now.
  181. 5:46>> I'll send it to you.
  182. 5:47>> It's Coleman Jason Domingo.
  183. 5:49>> Gorgeous.
  184. 5:49>> Let me just say your character, and they
  185. 5:52must have known this before you got cast
  186. 5:55because looking at you speak, you had
  187. 6:00authority, but you had sensitivity. You
  188. 6:02had I I want to follow this man because
  189. 6:06I believe him. Something about you. Is
  190. 6:09it your face, your tone, how you spoke
  191. 6:12your lines? And and so it occurred to me
  192. 6:15no one else could have banded together
  193. 6:17that group of people
  194. 6:19to even people who you've never met,
  195. 6:21your character is
  196. 6:22is never met to trust you.
  197. 6:25That level of trust. I saw some of that
  198. 6:27in in Euphoria, of course. I think it's
  199. 6:29in you across roles.
  200. 6:31>> That soulfulness.
  201. 6:32>> Yeah, thank you.
  202. 6:33>> Soulfulness. Deep soulfulness.
  203. 6:35>> Talk to me about your soulfulness.
  204. 6:36>> [laughter]
  205. 6:37>> Talk to you about my soulfulness. I
  206. 6:38think Steven has a great great He's a
  207. 6:41great observer not only
  208. 6:43his acting company that he wants to put
  209. 6:44together, but he knows what you can
  210. 6:46bring to the character as well. I know
  211. 6:48that there's
  212. 6:49the elements that flow through Emily
  213. 6:51that she imbues her character with. You
  214. 6:53know what I mean? And I think same with
  215. 6:55me. I think that
  216. 6:56even in just just discussions with
  217. 6:58Steven,
  218. 6:59I think I I would just listen to Steven,
  219. 7:01who is an incredible leader, incredible
  220. 7:03humanitarian,
  221. 7:05incredibly witty and graceful and joyful
  222. 7:08and positive. You want to follow him
  223. 7:10wherever on this planet. And I literally
  224. 7:13would take from that from our
  225. 7:14conversations. I'm like I think I think
  226. 7:15I know exactly how to play it cuz I see
  227. 7:17it.
  228. 7:18I see what you're offering, Steven, as a
  229. 7:20leader. You know what I mean? Truly.
  230. 7:21>> It It was working. So, let me back into
  231. 7:23that character.
  232. 7:25There was that group of
  233. 7:27mutineers, let's call them, the people
  234. 7:29from the company who decided to
  235. 7:31participate in the disclosure.
  236. 7:32>> Yeah.
  237. 7:33>> Can you speculate
  238. 7:35why you didn't get more people than that
  239. 7:38from the company? Why would some people
  240. 7:40have stayed behind?
  241. 7:40>> and some some
  242. 7:41>> Yeah, why why? Can you speculate on
  243. 7:43that?
  244. 7:43>> I think it's just a split in like a
  245. 7:44people who believe what's right and
  246. 7:46what's wrong. And I think that he he it
  247. 7:48needed to be very private. It needed to
  248. 7:49be people who are very actionable and
  249. 7:51who can really
  250. 7:53who were very useful.
  251. 7:54>> But I bet the people who did not
  252. 7:56participate are thinking to themselves,
  253. 7:58"I'm doing what's right."
  254. 8:00>> Absolutely.
  255. 8:00>> Right. So right. I mean that's
  256. 8:01>> well, that's a split between I think my
  257. 8:03character and Colin Firth's character.
  258. 8:05It's like they were very much united on
  259. 8:07this mission and what they did.
  260. 8:08>> both leading something.
  261. 8:10>> Absolutely.
  262. 8:10>> Right.
  263. 8:11>> one I think took more of a
  264. 8:13philosophical view and really
  265. 8:15a different point of view and really as
  266. 8:17he got to know the, you know, the
  267. 8:19non-humans.
  268. 8:20>> Yeah.
  269. 8:20>> And he thought like this is something
  270. 8:22that we all that needs to change our
  271. 8:24world, you know?
  272. 8:25>> Uh-huh.
  273. 8:26>> And so he went full throttle.
  274. 8:28>> Yeah. So I just want to say that your
  275. 8:30performances
  276. 8:32they did what they're supposed to do.
  277. 8:33They made me feel
  278. 8:35everything you guys were going through
  279. 8:36and
  280. 8:37>> Thank you.
  281. 8:37>> it put me in the in in it. I mean I was
  282. 8:40there.
  283. 8:40>> Good.
  284. 8:41>> And so just put that out there. Now, I
  285. 8:44got to ask you just a stupid question
  286. 8:45just cuz it's a fun stupid question.
  287. 8:47>> I like that.
  288. 8:47>> Um Emily, who's your favorite alien
  289. 8:50ever?
  290. 8:52>> It's got to be ET.
  291. 8:54>> ET?
  292. 8:55>> Of course.
  293. 8:56>> Steven Spielberg is not in the room
  294. 8:57here. You know
  295. 8:58>> matter.
  296. 8:59He knows how much I love ET.
  297. 9:01>> I love ET, too.
  298. 9:02>> I just showed it to my children and they
  299. 9:04scream cried at the end.
  300. 9:07>> Really?
  301. 9:07>> Oh.
  302. 9:08>> Okay, I I have a secret about ET. It was
  303. 9:10divulged to me in my office by Steven
  304. 9:12Spielberg.
  305. 9:13>> What?
  306. 9:13>> Okay?
  307. 9:14>> Tell us.
  308. 9:14>> He
  309. 9:15said ET was conceived as an animate
  310. 9:18plant.
  311. 9:19>> Really?
  312. 9:20>> Yes.
  313. 9:20>> Really?
  314. 9:20>> That's why ET has that magic finger that
  315. 9:23can repair plants. That was not an
  316. 9:25accidental talent that ET carried
  317. 9:28because I had a conversation with him in
  318. 9:29my office about all the ways of being
  319. 9:31alive in the universe. And we imagined
  320. 9:34animate plants. It's not a first time
  321. 9:37anyone has thought about that. The Ents
  322. 9:39in Lord of the Rings, plus the the angry
  323. 9:42apple trees in in The Wizard of Oz,
  324. 9:45these are animate. And and Groot
  325. 9:47>> Right.
  326. 9:47>> Yeah. Yeah, these are animate plants.
  327. 9:49So, it's not a completely weird thing.
  328. 9:52And so, I just want to share that with
  329. 9:53you.
  330. 9:54If If Do you want to be ET or do you
  331. 9:55want to be a plant?
  332. 9:56>> Yeah, I'm happy to be a plant.
  333. 9:58>> [laughter]
  334. 9:59>> Colin, who are you going to be?
  335. 10:01>> ET.
  336. 10:02>> No, Colin. I don't want both of you
  337. 10:03sitting here. You both want to be ET.
  338. 10:05>> Honestly, I literally I thought the
  339. 10:06first thing I thought of was ET. And
  340. 10:08maybe it's because ET's part of our
  341. 10:09generation and feel like he was maybe
  342. 10:11>> You don't want to be Predator? You don't
  343. 10:12want to be
  344. 10:13>> No.
  345. 10:14No.
  346. 10:15No.
  347. 10:15>> Yoda?
  348. 10:17>> Mhm. Yoda? Not really.
  349. 10:19>> Yoda you will be.
  350. 10:20>> [laughter]
  351. 10:22>> No, I feel like it would feel like I
  352. 10:24don't know. I feel like What's an
  353. 10:26interesting alien. I feel like the other
  354. 10:28aliens are usually like really like
  355. 10:30they're scary and vicious and And maybe
  356. 10:32that maybe that's something about ET is
  357. 10:33just so sweet and cuddly.
  358. 10:35>> So, the evil alien is outside your You
  359. 10:37don't want to go there.
  360. 10:38>> down with the evil alien. Yeah, I want
  361. 10:40to believe that he's this alien's going
  362. 10:41to try to do more good than harm.
  363. 10:43>> And you realize, I think, that the evil
  364. 10:45alien trope is we projecting onto them
  365. 10:50our most diabolical intentions.
  366. 10:53>> Well, and also our fears of the unknown
  367. 10:56and how quickly they would come to
  368. 10:57destroy us.
  369. 10:58>> of that.
  370. 10:58>> No, but why No, yeah. Yes. However, the
  371. 11:01history of human civilization where one
  372. 11:04part of civilization had more technology
  373. 11:06than the other and they encounter, it
  374. 11:08never went well for the the civilization
  375. 11:11that was not advanced. They were killed,
  376. 11:14enslaved. So,
  377. 11:15>> And that's what you see. You see that in
  378. 11:17Edge of Tomorrow, War of the Worlds, A
  379. 11:19Quiet Place. They come in and they
  380. 11:21destroy.
  381. 11:22>> Yes. So, I'm delighted, I'm warmed that
  382. 11:26neither of you want to be an evil alien.
  383. 11:28>> I don't want to be an evil
  384. 11:28>> No, I don't want to be an evil alien.
  385. 11:30Not at all. No. No.
  386. 11:31>> No, that's great. So, Emily, if you had
  387. 11:33to choose one way to live the rest of
  388. 11:35your life, would it be as an imbued
  389. 11:38alien human, or would it be as Mary
  390. 11:40Poppins?
  391. 11:41>> Ooh.
  392. 11:46>> I didn't think that was a hard question.
  393. 11:47>> I think it's quite a hard question.
  394. 11:49>> In a way, Mary Poppins is kind of an
  395. 11:51alien herself.
  396. 11:52>> alien.
  397. 11:53>> is, actually.
  398. 11:53>> She can hop hops in. She can slide up
  399. 11:56the a banister.
  400. 11:57>> Yeah. She's got elite superhero powers.
  401. 12:00>> Yeah.
  402. 12:01>> I think being Margaret is a great gift,
  403. 12:03but if you're constantly, if you really
  404. 12:05have no mind of your own anymore, if it
  405. 12:07belongs to everyone that you're standing
  406. 12:09in front of, I think that would be
  407. 12:11exhausting, but yet I do believe she's
  408. 12:13going to be able to harness
  409. 12:15>> That's a good answer.
  410. 12:15>> I think both of them bring a lot of good
  411. 12:17to the world. It's just that Mary
  412. 12:18Poppins does it in a bit of a bitchier
  413. 12:20way.
  414. 12:21>> [laughter]
  415. 12:24>> She does.
  416. 12:25>> She really does.
  417. 12:27She She really [laughter] is. She really
  418. 12:28is. She's like, she ain't got no time
  419. 12:29for [ __ ]
  420. 12:30>> She ain't got time for [ __ ]
  421. 12:32>> You're both actors. What kind of alien
  422. 12:34would you like to act?
  423. 12:37>> [laughter]
  424. 12:40>> You know what?
  425. 12:43I'm going to go with this. I feel like a
  426. 12:44sexy alien.
  427. 12:45>> Oh, really?
  428. 12:46>> Yes, an alien.
  429. 12:47>> A really hot one.
  430. 12:48>> hot alien.
  431. 12:49>> alien.
  432. 12:49>> A hot alien. Like, I feel like aliens
  433. 12:52are never projected to be like, you
  434. 12:53know, like sensual and
  435. 12:55sexy.
  436. 12:56>> bald. You can give me an alien.
  437. 12:57>> they was bald? What if they had a head
  438. 12:58of hair?
  439. 12:58>> [laughter]
  440. 12:59>> What if they were
  441. 13:00What if they twerked a little bit?
  442. 13:02I don't know.
  443. 13:02I feel like a beautiful
  444. 13:03>> Don't don't make their heads so big.
  445. 13:05>> They're not so big. They're imagining
  446. 13:07>> big heads.
  447. 13:08>> Massive brains on them.
  448. 13:10>> head. A tiny head.
  449. 13:10>> So, I calculated, just want to know,
  450. 13:12>> [laughter]
  451. 13:12>> that their eyeballs are so big that if
  452. 13:15they're full spherical eyeballs in their
  453. 13:17head, if that head also contains their
  454. 13:19brains, there's less room for their
  455. 13:21brains.
  456. 13:21>> Oh.
  457. 13:22>> Right? So, aliens might
  458. 13:23>> mean that they're not smart?
  459. 13:24>> Yeah. Aliens might be stupider than
  460. 13:26we've ever considered. They have the
  461. 13:28same brain eyeball ratio.
  462. 13:31>> are in their eyes?
  463. 13:32>> Well, okay, that's a different theory.
  464. 13:33Let's be careful here.
  465. 13:34>> The brains could be completely somewhere
  466. 13:35else.
  467. 13:36>> Just somewhere in their big toe.
  468. 13:37>> Exactly. It's true.
  469. 13:38>> But I'm going to say something else.
  470. 13:40>> [laughter]
  471. 13:42>> This is our next movie part here.
  472. 13:43>> Yeah, exactly.
  473. 13:44>> So, and I also did the same calculation
  474. 13:46for Elsa from Frozen.
  475. 13:48>> She's got huge eyeballs.
  476. 13:50>> All the Disney girls have big eyeballs.
  477. 13:52>> What about their brains? No, there's no
  478. 13:54room
  479. 13:55>> [laughter]
  480. 13:57>> I'm sorry. I I shouldn't layer that on
  481. 13:59your head.
  482. 14:00>> [laughter]
  483. 14:00>> That's my That's my own issues I'm
  484. 14:02dealing with.
  485. 14:02>> to say Elsa.
  486. 14:03>> Now no one's going to look at anyone
  487. 14:04with big eyes again.
  488. 14:05>> Big eyes and light. They can't be very
  489. 14:06bright.
  490. 14:07>> [laughter]
  491. 14:09>> Bright eyes, yeah. Oh, wow.
  492. 14:11>> So, um, any future projects do you guys
  493. 14:13working What's what's next for you?
  494. 14:15>> What's next?
  495. 14:16Oh, I just finished a movie called An
  496. 14:18Innocent Girl for Netflix.
  497. 14:20It's just a sexy '90s thriller with me,
  498. 14:22Kerry Washington, and James Marsden.
  499. 14:23>> You as an alien?
  500. 14:24>> I am an alien.
  501. 14:25>> alien.
  502. 14:25>> [laughter]
  503. 14:25>> With a very with big eyes, exactly. So,
  504. 14:27I'm not too bright.
  505. 14:28>> Just a sexy '90s
  506. 14:29>> Just a sexy alien. A hot alien.
  507. 14:31[laughter]
  508. 14:32>> I I am actually about to do the third
  509. 14:34installment of A Quiet Place.
  510. 14:36>> Oh my god.
  511. 14:36>> So, John is shooting it right now.
  512. 14:38>> You're all in.
  513. 14:39>> All in.
  514. 14:40>> All in.
  515. 14:41>> aliens.
  516. 14:41>> And I'm old enough to remember Star Trek
  517. 14:43original run.
  518. 14:44>> Oh, yeah.
  519. 14:44>> And Captain Kirk did be a blue alien or
  520. 14:48a green alien, but she was hot.
  521. 14:51>> Was she?
  522. 14:51>> Oh, yeah. Definitely female.
  523. 14:53>> Yeah.
  524. 14:54>> Unquestionably feminine alien.
  525. 14:57And
  526. 14:58>> [laughter]
  527. 14:58>> he would kiss them and they would say,
  528. 15:00>> That's right.
  529. 15:01>> "What is kiss?" And he's like, "Oh, it's
  530. 15:03an Earth emotion."
  531. 15:04>> He's like he's like, "Let me show you."
  532. 15:05>> [laughter]
  533. 15:06>> Captain Kirk.
  534. 15:07>> Captain Kirk was getting it, though. But
  535. 15:09Captain Kirk was getting it.
  536. 15:10>> think she wanted it?
  537. 15:11>> I don't think she wanted it. I don't
  538. 15:13think there was consent. There was no
  539. 15:14consent at all back then.
  540. 15:15>> He was [laughter] getting galactic
  541. 15:16booty.
  542. 15:17>> '60s.
  543. 15:17>> All the time.
  544. 15:19>> All the time.
  545. 15:19>> Yeah, right. [laughter]
  546. 15:20>> And here's a fast fact that you didn't
  547. 15:22ask, but I'm going to tell you.
  548. 15:23>> What?
  549. 15:23>> Okay? There's one episode where he and
  550. 15:26Lieutenant Uhura
  551. 15:28>> Uhura.
  552. 15:28>> kiss. They kiss.
  553. 15:29>> on the lips.
  554. 15:29>> I I remember that.
  555. 15:30>> The first black-white kiss ever
  556. 15:32>> Really?
  557. 15:33>> on television.
  558. 15:34>> Yep.
  559. 15:34>> Really?
  560. 15:34>> Got hate mail
  561. 15:35>> It sure did.
  562. 15:36>> from the American South. Meanwhile, he's
  563. 15:38getting intergalactic booty with aliens
  564. 15:40of all skin [laughter] colors.
  565. 15:41>> And not one note.
  566. 15:42>> And not one note.
  567. 15:44>> Not cool.
  568. 15:44>> But Uhura, who for seasons we only saw
  569. 15:46the back of her head, [laughter]
  570. 15:47couldn't get one kiss.
  571. 15:51Cuz she's manning
  572. 15:52>> [laughter]
  573. 15:52>> the instruments.
  574. 15:54>> So, given disclosure day, are you guys
  575. 15:56more
  576. 15:58receiving of aliens coming out of the
  577. 16:00Pentagon? Are you
  578. 16:02>> I mean, I would like
  579. 16:03>> a little more convinced or less
  580. 16:04convinced?
  581. 16:04>> to know.
  582. 16:05>> I would like to know. I think I think
  583. 16:07that for us to be awestruck
  584. 16:10is a good thing. I think for humans to
  585. 16:12be made to feel appropriately humbled
  586. 16:15>> Mhm.
  587. 16:15>> would be a great thing.
  588. 16:17>> That's deep, actually.
  589. 16:18>> That's true.
  590. 16:18>> You need to be humbled every now and
  591. 16:19then, otherwise you take yourself too
  592. 16:21seriously.
  593. 16:21>> awe is an elusive emotion. I think if we
  594. 16:24could feel some of that there's the in
  595. 16:26that existential thing of being able to
  596. 16:27witness that it would be amazing for
  597. 16:29mankind.
  598. 16:30>> Ooh.
  599. 16:31>> I I think that's the most one of the
  600. 16:32most beautiful moments in our film is
  601. 16:33when you see people collectively all
  602. 16:35experiencing the same thing.
  603. 16:37>> That was the day the Earth stood still
  604. 16:38cuz everybody's looking at their
  605. 16:39smartphone.
  606. 16:40>> But but that's but that's that's like
  607. 16:41when any event happens in the world
  608. 16:44where like it suddenly unites us all. We
  609. 16:46know it's about it's about something
  610. 16:48okay, forget about what you've your
  611. 16:49politics and what you believe in all
  612. 16:51that and say, "Oh, you have to believe
  613. 16:52in something else. You have to believe
  614. 16:53in each other." And how are we going to
  615. 16:54do this thing together?
  616. 16:56>> Yeah.
  617. 16:56>> You know? So, I think that's what the
  618. 16:58awe that I think that we're hoping for.
  619. 17:00And if it means that we need to invite
  620. 17:02in the idea that there's more out there
  621. 17:04in the universe, how beautiful.
  622. 17:06>> I can't follow that with anything.
  623. 17:09>> a mic drop.
  624. 17:10>> [laughter]
  625. 17:10>> That was what we call a mic drop in our
  626. 17:11business.
  627. 17:13>> Pull that off there. There we go.
  628. 17:15Neil. [laughter]
