I had a full meter see the picture . In the theater mass were cheering and screaming and they also desire to fight the two main characters . They are inhabit with this weirdy up in the house despite multiple warnings . So has there been anyone in your life that masses have discourage you about over and over and you just could n’t see what they ’re utter about until it was too late ?
Deon Taylor : Every day of my life . You know what , the movie was purposely done that way , you cognize . I conceive the movie has a ecumenical subject matter . There ’s a mickle more under the tone of what the film really is . You know what I think ? And the reality is , here ’s a guy who is prove to hail between a marriage and here they are , they have to really stand up and cypher out at the last bit like , Yo , this fop get us fighting each other . You sleep with what I intend ? And come together and become strong . And that ’s the , that was the reason for the ring at the destruction , joining , you know what I mean ? It was a moment there , but no humankind , it was build for this . It was ramp up for the audience to go to the theatre , seat back , cool down out . Like all decently , impress me . You recognise what I mean ?
And for you to in 20 min and be like , okay , await , happened ? And then dive and go and go and go . And pretty shortly you ’re invested . And you ’re proper , you ’re fence . You know what I mean ? And once you do that , that means you worry . Once you talk to the theatre screen or speak to your friend that ’s in the movie , like , Yo , dude trippin man , they would never , you ’re in , you know what I think ? Because if you do n’t do that , that means you do n’t handle . That mean you not even trippin . But this is great homo . And I just know it . I ’ve been saying this all day , man . I love it for the culture . Like we , you know , with the exclusion of most of late Jordan Peele coming in with Us and Get Out . We never got this , military man . We did n’t have this , we did n’t have the lane for a Michael Ealy , a Megan Good . And a Dennis Quaid . I ’ve never seen this pic in my life , you know , and when you get chance to deform the culture . And push a subject matter for Scripture . It ’s not even about race , it ’s just about locoweed masses . And a grass concept . But we get to see ourselves on CRT screen .
Yeah . Look , you know , you ’re talking about breaking up marriages , right ? We ’ve envision movies before where you ’ve got a crazy ass blank woman strain to transgress up a blank man ’s matrimony , Fatal Attraction . You go gaga ass white woman seek to break up a black man ’s marriage . We have n’t ensure a brainsick ass clean man trying to bust up . Why do you think it ’s consume so long ?
Deon Taylor : Crazy ass masses everywhere . No , I just think there ’s a linguistic rule where there are 10 movies that are invariably remade over and over again . Right ? You ca n’t reinvent the wheel . But what you could do is flip it and you could , I used to be like , you could put rim on it . And this concept I had never seen . Like , yeah , you ’ve seen idea like that and you ’ve seen Fatal Attraction . Classic . Where you ’re like , Yo , this is buggy . She ’s screwball . And I think this is on the degree in terms of like what Dennis Quaid does . Like I think we ’ve never catch this guy like that ever . And even if you check Fatal Attraction and if you ’ve ever seen the behind the scenes of Fatal Attraction , Glenn Close was not hypothesize to be cast in that film . I just think we did something peculiar , humankind . I do n’t have intercourse . And now we ’ve got a man , we ’ve catch a bloodless woman . We nonplus a dark couple being broke up . Yeah . We pose to bump out what ’s the next unbalanced tush matter to do . Maybe it ’s a crazy screwing wienerwurst . unbalanced ass rottweiler .
