O'Shea Jackson Jr.

Every time I watch a movie now, I just think about how it was shot, how long that probably took, this probably sucked.

Like, I was watching Godzilla vs. Kong, and that's a movie you're supposed to just kick back, turn your brain off, man.

And there's a scene where Godzilla flips a ship that Kong is still chained up to, and somebody has to dive into the water, hit the button.

And all I could think about was, do you know how annoying diving into that water was 13 times?

So that type of stuff is a ruin for me.

Now I'm like, oh man, what a nightmare.

Every time, or I'm impressed in a different way.

Well, at USC, what I was really taking in is

The art of storytelling.

The difference between a popcorn movie and what they consider cinema.

What things draw what emotions from people.

The best video games have a story behind them, along with gameplay, because gameplay is important.

But they have a story behind them that sticks with you forever.

When I was in, I was about 12, sixth grade, I played a game called Kingdom Hearts.

And Kingdom Hearts is a mixture of a franchise, Final Fantasy, and mixed with Disney.

And so on the surface, it's just, you know, it looks like a fun kids game.

But you log in all these hours, like over 80 hours or whatever the game is.

you have this attachment to this character and what they're going through and you want the best for them.

And when it doesn't work out, it crushes you.

Or when you're left on a cliffhanger, I'm on that cliffhanger forever.
