:56:05
And what the film would capture
if it was filming us right now...
:56:08
would be, like,
God as this table,
:56:10
and God is you and God is me and God
looking the way we look right now...
:56:12
and saying and thinking
what were thinking right now...
:56:14
- because were all
God manifest in that sense.
- Mm-hmm.
:56:18
So film is like a record of God
or the face of God...
:56:20
or of the ever-changing
face of God.
:56:23
You have a mosquito.
You want me to get it for you?
:56:25
- You got it. Yeah.
- I got it?
:56:28
And the whole Hollywood thing
has taken film...
:56:31
and tried to make it
this storytelling medium...
:56:33
where you take
these books or stories...
:56:35
and then you,
like, you know--
:56:37
you get the script and then try
to find somebody who fits the thing.
:56:39
But it's ridiculous.
:56:41
It shouldn't
be based on the script.
:56:43
It should be based
on the person, the thing.
:56:45
And, um--
And in that sense,
:56:47
they're almost right
to have this whole star system...
:56:49
- because then it's about that
person instead of the story.
- Right.
:56:54
Truffaut always said
the best films aren't made--
:56:58
The best scripts don't
make the best films...
:57:00
because they have that kind
of literary, narrative thing
that youre sort of a slave to.
:57:05
The best films are the ones
that aren't tied to that slavishly.
:57:09
So, um--
So-- I don't know--
:57:11
The whole narrative thing
seems to me like--
:57:13
Obviously, there's narrativity
to cinema 'cause it's in time,
:57:15
just the way there's
narrativity to music.
:57:17
You don't first think of the story
of the song, then make the song.
:57:20
It has to come
out of the moment.
:57:23
That's what film has.
It's just that moment, which is holy.
:57:26
You know, like this
moment, it's holy.
:57:29
But we walk around
like it's not holy.
:57:31
We walk around like there's
some holy moments and there
are all the other moments...
:57:33
- that are not holy,
but this moment is holy.
- Right. Right.
:57:36
And film
can let us see that.
:57:38
We can frame it so that we see,
like, "Ah, this moment. Holy."
:57:41
Like "holy, holy, holy"
moment by moment.
:57:44
But who can live that way?
Who can go, "Wow, holy"?
:57:47
Because if I were to look at you
and let you be holy--
:57:49
I don't know. I would,
like, stop talking.
:57:52
Well, you'd be in the moment.
The moment is holy, right?
:57:56
Yeah, but I'd be open.
:57:58
I'd look in your eyes
and I'd cry...
