You know, really, Terry, all this...
Great questions.
You know when they get resolved?
Right when the lights flutter and you are no longer a director or a general or a pope.
Right when you become just you and the lights are flickering out, that's when you realize what you did or didn't do in your life.
And that's the most momentous thing anyone can experience.
And you can go with great agitation or great peace.
Because ultimately that's the plea of the creature, too.
The plea of the creature is why.
Why did this thing happen to me?
And the answer is,
It comes at the end.
The final image of the film is what tells you what we can do.
I mean, acceptance is so profound.
You know, we are building a culture in which we have the idea of what things should be.
And when they don't happen, you can feel frustrated, rebel against them.
But at the end of the day, they are what they are.
Marty Scorsese...
tackled the same sort of question in The Irishman.
