When I watched Free Willy...

For me, the reason why it resonated with me because it was about this kind of cool kid who kind of broke the rules in a way.

And it was about this friendship between sort of animals and it was magical in lots of ways.

And it made me feel that the world was like such an exciting place.

What did it with E.T.

Did that happen?

Did you find out?

Wow, really?

Yeah.

But did you know growing up you were an outsider?

Children, we're quite naive, right?

So our existence around us is just kind of like what we think it is.

It's kind of good consciousness to understand certain things.

Understanding that you're popular or cool is one thing.

Understanding that maybe you're not fitting is all.

It's quite a bit of self-awareness to realize that as a young kid.

Yeah, it's, you know, it's when we eat the apple, right?

It's like Adam eating the apple, but you suddenly gain the experience.

Exactly, exactly, exactly, exactly.

There's a great poem which I've spoken before, which is Blake.
