But the distinction between the two was pretty clear when he first started talking to me.
It's like he was kind of a rumpled genius who did not look at himself as cool, which made him, to me, legendary.
Exactly.
And I got to tell you a tiny story, because when I wrote that scene—
When Lester in Almost Famous says, you know, we are uncool, you know, and I met you, you're not cool.
So I had this kind of scene written in my head of like victory.
You know, Lester would say, you know, we are uncool.
You know, that's who we are.
And when it came time to film the scene, this is the brilliance of Philip Seymour Hoffman, who Lester, I think, would have loved more.
playing him philip seymour hoppin said like what what if we do this scene like we are the only two people awake in the world me and the character william miller and i'm i'm gonna tell him quietly who we are we are uncool
And it was that time as a director where you go, thank God I have this person playing this part who takes your words that you wrote in a quiet room and sends them into a whole other world of meaning.
And that's one of the other reasons why I used the title The Uncool, because it reminds me of the lineage of Lester and what he told me.
And it ended up in the hands of Philip Seymour Hoffman, who landed it in a way...
that Lester truly meant as a gift to me, not as a warrior cry.
Thank you.
Really enjoyed this.
