I'm just trying to get you. All right. Well, let me let me let me respond to that. I think you might have you might have an opening statement in on and or because it is essentially there's a lot of politics and and fascism is identified. And but I just it's funny.

What Makes Art ‘Left Wing’?

Yeah, and they had a show print and we're out promoting Andor and they tied it in with that. I hadn't seen it in 18 years. I went in a packed theater just two nights ago and saw it again. So it's fresh in my mind. I really don't—I'm going to really push back against left-wing on that picture.

Interesting Times with Ross Douthat
What Makes Art ‘Left Wing’?

I don't understand at all what is left or right about poisoning people with a pesticide and lying about it. I don't think anybody on the right wants to be—if I was—let's keep my politics out of it, but I can't see myself ever in any iteration of myself identifying with the corporation that has— been fighting a class action shoot for poisoning people.

Right, but that's what... But wait, Tilda Swinton's character is so... She's such a lost person. She has to practice being herself. She's completely... If there's a political element about the movie, I think, at all, it's Tilda Swinton... trying to falsely approximate what she thinks may be male corporate behaviors.

You might be able to make an argument about that, but like, who wants to defend pesticides? I don't think it's left or right at all. I think it's about people... I mean, I think I'm a moralist, if you want to know the truth. I mean, in the number one definition, not the number two definition. But I think I really, in the end, I think there's a moral code that I have.

And I think that gets expressed a lot. But it's impossible for me to see Clayton as an ideological thing.

I mean, well, that's a... I mean, if you look at my complete CV, it's pretty chaotic, and you could tell that I... As to go back to what we said before, I don't really want to do anything that I've done before. I really wanted to make Duplicity. I really had a guess making it. I went from there to Legacy.

What Makes Art ‘Left Wing’?

I really tried to give... I'd been on the Bourne franchise for many years, and that's its own shambolic success, and I wanted to give them a... a Marvel universe in a way. We really had a way of doing that. There was just too much bad blood and too much confusion that it didn't work.
