Back to Google, Sean.

Well, to that point, I mean, do you find that it was basically a peel in the onion further and further back on a specific theme that you thought this sort of story was a fun example of?

And if so, what is that theme?

Yeah, but can you write a theme?

I can never write a theme.

Well, I mean, but you tell me.

You know what you're doing.

A theme of being, let's say, the irresponsible chase of fame.

Well, yes, so you write a story and you basically just write a script because it's, to oversimplify it, this event runs to this event and this event and this event and now we have an ending and it's a fun story and now you shoot it and all that worked out well and now you're in the editing room.

And you start to shape this, pardon the phrase, experience for the audience.

And it starts to sort of present itself as a film.

And you start working with either temp music or the actual score.

And maybe themes start to develop for you as a viewer, as you're viewing it, trying to keep the optics of a viewer.

Mm-hmm.

Do you allow that to happen, and then does that inform the way you finish the film?

And, oh, here's a little theme that's existing underneath this crunchy story that's kind of fun.

Do you find that that happens?

Well, the simplicity sometimes yields some of the most complex and sophisticated results perhaps.

Sure, that's my role.
