On the first day of filming that film, he made two remarkable comments.
One was to me and Emma Thompson after we'd just done a little walk and talk scene and
I thought we'd been frankly marvellous.
And we went up to Ang, who was sitting at the monitor afterwards, he was looking absolutely
miserable.
Like that.
And we said - 'what did you think, Ang?
What did you think?'
And he said "mmmmm very...boring'.
And it was very crushing.
And then he said to Kate Winslet as she was leaving the set at the end of the first day..."Don't
worry, don't worry, you'll get better."
But he also had, he had good notes.
He said to me one day, after I'd done about four or five takes, he said "OK.
Now do one like bad actor."
And I said, 'well I think I've actually done that one'.
