>>> SO, I'VE BEEN THINKING, I'VE GOT THIS IDEA.
>> I'M LISTENING. >> WHY DON'T WE GO INTO TOWN,
HAVE LUNCH, JUST TAKE OUR TIME, ENJOY OURSELVES.
>> IN PUBLIC. >> YEAH.
>> WHEN DO YOU WANT TO DO IT? >> SUNDAY.
ABOUT NOON. >> SOUNDS FINE TO ME.
MAYBE I'LL WEAR SOMETHING BRIGHT AND FLASHY.
>> THAT WAS A SCENE FROM THE NEW NETFLIX FILM "OUR SOULS AT
NIGHT" OUT THIS FRIDAY. WITH US NOW IS ONE OF THE FILM'S
STARS. WHAT DO WE PUT?
WHAT ARE ALL THE ADJECTIVES? LEGENDARY, BRILLIANT --
>> NONE OF THE ABOVE. >> GALACTICALLY.
>> ROBERT REDFORD, THANKS FOR BEING HERE.
>> NICE TO BE HERE. >> AS YOU GET OLDER, YOU REALIZE
THERE'S SOME PEOPLE I HAVEN'T TALKED TO IN 20, 30 YEARS, THEY
WALK INTO A ROOM, IT'S LIKE A DAY HASN'T PASSED.
I SAW THAT MICHAEL HANEY INTERVIEW WITH YOU IN ESQUIRE,
YOU TALKED ABOUT YOU AND JANE FONDA, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS,
THE UPS, THE DOWNS, THE TURBULENCE, YOU GUYS GET BACK
TOGETHER AGAIN AND ACT. IT'S TRUE FRIENDSHIP.
IT'S LIKE A DAY HASN'T PASSED. >> YEAH.
I THINK THAT'S TRUE. THERE'S JUST A RHYTHM THERE
THAT'S SOLID T DOESN'T NEED A LOT OF TALK OR EXPLANATION.
THAT'S SOMETHING I APPRECIATE. >> YOU KNOW, JUST IN THAT CLIP
THAT WE JUST SHOWED, WHAT IS REALLY INTERESTING TO ME AND
PERHAPS OTHERS IS THE DEMINUITION OF THE STUDIO HERE
YOU HAVE A STORY ABOUT TWO HUMAN BEINGS, THE MOVIE, THE STORY
ITSELF, THE STORY LINE, THAT'S A MOVIE.
DO YOU MISS WHAT'S HAPPENED IN HOLLYWOOD?
THEY DON'T MAKE MOVIES LIKE THAT.
>> BY THE WAY, I LOVE BARNACLES -- THEY'RE MAKING
ROBOT MOVIES NOW. >> I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS GOING TO
GO INTELLECTUAL. >> SO WHAT?
>> THE STUDIO SYSTEM, YOU KNOW. YOU USED TO MAKE MOVIES WITH
BEGINS, MIDDLE, END. NOW IT'S ALL THESE --
>> I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. FOR ME, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
IS STORY. AND I TRY TO BREAK IT DOWN INTO
THREE STEPS. WHAT'S THE STORY?
WHO ARE THE CHARACTERS THAT EMBODY THE STORY, AND WHERE IS
THE EMOTION. IN THOSE THREE STEPS.
I THINK BECAUSE OF THE NEW TECHNOLOGY AND THE ADVANCES THAT
NEW TECHNOLOGY BROUGHT TO FILM, SPECIAL EFFECTS BECOMES MORE AND
MORE IMPORTANT. SOMETIMES THERE'S A TENDENCY TO
LOSE STORY. FOR ME, THAT MAKES IT EVEN MORE
IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE STORY. >> WHAT IS IT ABOUT THIS STORY?
THIS SCRIPT THAT ATTRACTED YOU TO THE FILM?
>> I THINK THE THING THAT ATTRACTED ME WAS THAT FINDING
LOVE LATER ON IN LIFE, WHEN YOU DIDN'T THINK THAT WAS POSSIBLE
ANYMORE. YOU FELT YOUR LIFE WAS PRETTY
MUCH OVER. ALL YOU WERE LEFT DO IS SIT
THERE AND THINK ABOUT THE PAST. THAT'S ALL THERE WAS TO DO.
TO FIND OUT THAT LOVE WASN'T GONE COMPLETELY, THAT YOU COULD
FIND IT AGAIN. WHEN YOU DO, IT HAS A DEPTH THAT
EARLIER LOVE DIDN'T HAVE. >> A DEPTH AND AN APPRECIATION.
>> YEAH. LIKE A DEPTH.
YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH THINGS, YOU BRING THAT TO THE FORE.
THAT'S WHAT APPEALED TO ME IT WAS A STORY ABOUT LOVE COMING
LATER NONE LIFE, WHEN I DIDN'T THINK THERE WERE MANY STORIES.
ALSO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE DO A FILM THAT WOULD SATISFY
OLDER AUDIENCES. THAT'S A LITTLE SELF-SERVING
BECAUSE I'M OLDER. >> LIKE BARNACLE.
>> NOBODY IS THAT OLD. >> IN YOUR MOVIES, THE
CANDIDATE, ALL THE PRESIDENTS MEN, IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE,
YOU'VE BEEN OUTSPOKEN A BIT IN POLITICS AS WELL.
I WONDER SITTING HERE AND LOOKING AT THE FACT THAT THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ELECTED AS ITS PRESIDENT A FIGURE OF
POPULAR CULTURE, THE IDEA OF A MERGER OF POLITICS AND CULTURE
LIKE WE'RE SEEING NOW WHAT IS THAT LIKE FOR YOU TO EXPERIENCE?
>> WELL, I WOULD PREFER NOT TO GO TO THAT PLACE RIGHT NOW.
I'M MORE INTERESTED IN OTHER THINGS.
WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE HIGHEST LEVEL, THE PEOPLE WILL FIGURE
THAT OUT. I DON'T WANT TO GO THERE.
THAT GETS INTO TERRITORY THAT'S ALREADY BEEN WELL COVERED.
WHAT'S INTERESTING TO ME IS WHAT IS BEING LOST IN THE PROCESS.
WHAT'S BEING LOST IN TERMS OF THE AMERICAN IDEAL, WHAT'S BEING
LOST IN PROCESS. I HOPE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE START
TO PAY REAL ATTENTION. I THINK THE FACT THAT WE HAVE
SOMEONE IN PLACE NOW, IS THERE BECAUSE WE WEREN'T PAYING
ATTENTION. AND EVERYBODY ASSUMED THAT
HILLARY WOULD WIN ON A LANDSLIDE, SO PEOPLE DIDN'T COME
OUT. OTHER PEOPLE EITHER DIDN'T CARE.
SO THEREFORE WE HAVE WHAT WE HAVE.
IN A SENSE WHAT WE HAVE, WE SHOULDN'T BE COMPLAINING ABOUT
IT. IT'S OUR FAULT BASICALLY.
I JUST ASSUME NOT GO THERE. I FIGURE WHAT CAN WE DO WITH
WHAT WE GOT LEFT THERE? AND HOW CAN THE PUBLIC BECOMING
MORE AND MORE INVOLVED. >> A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE LOOKING
BACK TO "ALL THE PRESIDENTS MEN" AND THAT TIME AS AN EXAMPLE OF
THE SYSTEM WORKING. YOU SAID THE AMERICAN PEOPLE
WOULD FIGURE IT OUT EVENTUALLY. EVEN WE'RE HEARING WHALE INTO
WATERGATE ONLY 30% OF AMERICANS THOUGHT IT WAS BIG DEAL.
DO YOU HAVE CONFIDENCE THAT IS -- THAT IT MAY END UP LIKE
WATERGATE? WE WERE SHOWING CLIPS OF "ALL
THE PRESIDENTS MEN" AND THAT EVERYBODY WILL DO THEIR JOB
EVENTUALLY. >> I'LL TELL YOU WHAT IMPRESSED
ME ABOUT THAT TIME AS I LOOK AT IT NOW.
THERE WAS A TIME. THERE WAS A TIME WHEN TWO SIDES
WORKED TOGETHER TO GET TO THE TRUTH.
WHEN I SAW -- I MADE A DOCUMENTARY THAT YOU'RE INVOLVED
WITH -- YOU'RE IN. WHERE YOU SEE THE REPUBLICANS
AND DEMOCRATS TOGETHER ON A PANEL INTERVIEWING JOHN DEAN.
WHAT STRUCK ME ABOUT IT, WHEN I LOOKED AT IT, I SAID WAIT A
MINUTE TWO SIDES WORKING TOGETHER TO GET TO THE TRUTH.
NOW WE HAVE THIS POLARIZED SITUATION, WHICH SEEMS SO
DESTRUCTIVE. I'M THINKING THERE WAS A TIME.
MAYBE WE SHOULD MAKE A DOCUMENTARY SHOWING THERE WAS A
TIME WHEN TWO SIDES WORKING TOGETHER MADE A DIFFERENCE.
>> THAT WOULD BE GOOD. >> THAT'S WHAT WE NEED AGAIN.
ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> THANK YOU. >> WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE.
DESPITE THE FACT YOU KNEW BARNACLE WOULD BE HERE.
>> WE DO THE BEST WE CAN UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
>> EXACTLY. THE FILM IS "OUR SOULS AT NIGHT"
IT'S OUT ON NETFLIX THIS FRIDAY. IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN IT, I'M
GOING TO PLUG AGAIN "ALL IS LOST."
JUST AN EXTRAORDINARY FILM.
