Absolutely so good.
And that's commented on in the book.
Like something that, you know, we were trying to explain to Sean that I don't think is like quite clear in the movie is the way in which these flashbacks are coming to him in real time as you're watching it.
That he is remembering what happened in real time.
So the flashback that reveals that it was not his choice to go on the Hail Mary is something that he is remembering
learning for the first time in that moment.
So like earlier when they're talking about bravery or all this other stuff like that, like he has to assume he signed up for this mission.
And to find out via excavation of his own memories, which is, you know, again, I don't think the movie quite nails that sort of idea.
When we see him sort of hunched over himself, that's him processing like, oh God, oh no, this is who I am.
I'm someone who is too afraid to do the thing that was asked of me.
And it's so impactful.
The Sign of the Times karaoke, not just because I love a musical moment, but just sort of their shared conversation without language, like similar to Rocky and Rylan, like this just sort of like conversation of looks that they have.
Apparently, it was Gosling's idea that she sing because the actress herself likes to sing, and she said she would only do it if she could sing Sign of the Times.
I have no notes for anyone.
She picked the Harry song, great.
