Jason Bateman

you know, that director might be drowning in the unforeseen complications of any day.

And you might get frustrated with like, oh my God, this is, you know, it's frustrating for you to have been on so many sets that work so well to then be,

sort of extending your patience and your experience to help out a young director.

I find that just so generous of you.

And is it taxing?

Yeah.

Well, then you must really, you must love, well, you tell me, do you love directing?

I'll bet you do.

In theory.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I find eight out of ten directors work like that.

Don't you find that?

A lot of directors would just sort of punt all the camera stuff to the DP and the operator, and then they go and they work with the actors, which is a great way to do it as well.

There's so many different ways to do it.

Whatever you're doing, you're doing it just right.

But your ability to ground violence is awesome.

That's great.

I just love watching you deal with the –

fargo's top three films i've ever seen in my life i've seen it more than any other film um so and just just your way just not only just the the the violence that you're that you deal with in that film but even just your your line of work in that film too you know that that there's a there's a grounded sense of here's a guy who's you know dealing with you know uh
