And I used to dream
of a way to approach it,

:26:06
to make it belong to who I was,
to who I became.

:26:10
- Marty,
:26:14
this book is the key
to your character.

:26:17
It's the actual journal
of Clarence Ussher,

:26:21
published in Boston
and New York in 1917.

:26:23
Every scene in this film
:26:25
is based on this document.
:26:27
Think of it.
It is the true story

:26:29
of a man who sees
an entire community wiped out

:26:32
and is sickened by it.
:26:33
So... so you can't play it...
- l've read this book.

:26:39
As well as every available
piece of archival material

:26:43
that so much as hints
at the region or these people

:26:46
or the Armenian genocide.
:26:50
I'm currently rereading
the Bible with Ussher in mind,

:26:52
so beyond that,
it's pretty much...

:26:56
up to my imagination.
:26:58
And now l'm here
to make a film with Edward...

:27:03
Saroyan.
:27:06
Okay?
:27:12
- This painting was very,
very popular even 100 years ago,

:27:16
when it was painted.
And it's very popular now.

:27:18
People love this painting.
And I think it's because...

:27:21
because it's such a warm, safe
picture of two little kids.

:27:26
We get the feeling that these
two kids in front of the fire,

:27:29
warming themselves
after their bath...

:27:34
- How'd it go?
:27:35
- Think it went great.
- Did you get it?

:27:37
Did he like you?
- I think so.

:27:39
[Ring!]
:27:41
Hello.
:27:43
Yeah. Oh my God!
:27:45
Oh my God!
- Good news?

:27:48
- He just got a big part.
In a movie.

:27:50
- Let me call you right back.
:27:51
'Cause l'm in a gallery
and I can't really talk.

:27:53
- Do you play a good guy
or a bad guy?

:27:58
- I play a very, very,
very bad man.
