ourselves

“What we do to the Earth we do to ourselves, and what we do to life on Earth, human or otherwise, we do to ourselves.”

Audiard explains, “There were two levels of reality. There’s Jessi in her bedroom, and then, very suddenly, we go elsewhere. The name that we had for this sequence among ourselves was Dark Ideas, i.e., Jessi’s Dark Ideas. You have this girl talking, and suddenly she goes into her subconscious, and her subconscious is wild and furious.”

“Every day, we’re reminding ourselves that we’ve got a responsibility to a huge audience, globally,” Hickey said.

“Because everything comes from something, whether it be a bad experience or a trauma or something that has led you to want to go down the wrong path. It’s nice that we as audience members get to have that conversation with ourselves when watching characters like these as a reminder that you are one decision away from doing a bad thing.”

"It was a collective buy-in to back ourselves and people might think we are crazy, but that shows the culture that has been created."
