2:02:00
It just slowly evolved.
2:02:02
We were doing take after take.
I said to Stanley, "What do you want?"
2:02:07
He said, "I want the magic.
I want the magic. "
2:02:10
But then as the scene progressed,
take after take doing it. . .
2:02:15
. . .you'd feel the scene reach a level
everyone felt was interesting. . .
2:02:19
. . .then we'd keep working on it
and it would feel bad.
2:02:24
It was stale. It just didn't...
It wasn't working
2:02:27
And then suddenly we could feel it
break into a place. . .
2:02:32
. . .that none of us
had really thought of before.
2:02:36
The process of the film
was a discovery.
2:02:38
It was never about the result.
It was never about:
2:02:42
"Well, we have a week to shoot
this scene. So quick, let's do it.
2:02:47
We may not fully explore it,
but we'll get something good. "
2:02:51
Stanley wanted
to explore every avenue. . .
2:02:54
. . .and then make his decisions
based on that.
2:02:58
And Stanley was not restricted
by time, he refused to be.
2:03:02
That is a great luxury that only
somebody like he could afford. . .
2:03:06
. . .because of what he'd achieved
through his career to be able to say:
2:03:10
"Do you want to know what's gold
with filmmaking? Time is gold. "
2:03:14
Not having to walk away
from a scene. . .
2:03:17
. . .before you feel like
you really perfected it.
2:03:22
I wanted to make fun of you. . .
2:03:26
. . .to laugh in your face.
2:03:32
And so I laughed as loud as I could.
2:03:50
That must have been
when you woke me up.
