“You have to be kind of angry about something to write a script...
and if the thing that you're angry about is not something that you identify in yourself, I'm always wary of that.”
-Rian Johnson
This is the very first episode!
My guest is THE Rian Johnson - he is a writer, director, filmmaker extraordinaire.
I was in his very first movie, Brick. He then went on to make The Brothers Bloom, Looper, and Star Wars: The Last Jedi. He’s an extraordinary thinker, conversationalist, artist, and human being.
For this episode, we took a deep dive into a question from Alexandra Kolmanofsky from Louisville, Kentucky.
She asked, “How do you get inspired by other people’s creations and create something unique that is completely your own without taking too much from the inspiration?”
Rian offered some incredible insight on what distinguishes inspiration from imitation, what are the limitations and advantages of dealing with genre, and if any piece of art can ever be considered “original.”
We also seriously pondered whether cereal is, in fact, soup (or not).
