The CEO made a choice to be a greedy, you know? All those characters made choices, and then you have the gardener, who is the only character who didn't make a choice. Lily's character made a choice to make her bed with the devil. Jason's character made a choice to rob this house. The three main characters all got to make choices in life. The thing I would add is it's also a film about choices. Am I reading that the right way?Ĭompletely. He seems to be there because he's an innocent, and this whole story is about haves and have-nots and the innocent people who get trampled. Let's talk about the fourth character in this story, The Gardener. But it was much more just slapstick for the sake of slapstick. It was more just funny, and it still had that trio component. There was one other we considered, which was from Weekend at Bernie's, which was funny and kinda interesting-but not quite as connective as The Three Amigos clip in terms of what was happening in the story. If you hadn’t gotten clearance on The Three Amigos clip, was there another you might have used? But he's a humorous character, especially in the way in which Jesse portrayed him. I don't think he has a sense of humor about himself. He’s more resentful because he feels like they are laughing at him. Jason even has a line in the film where he goes, “What other shit do you guys have here that you don't use?” That became the sort of perfect clip for us because it's funny, and it motivates Jesse's character to say to his wife in the next scene: “Do whatever it takes,” which sends the film into a new direction. He's drinking the water in front of these two people who are seemingly equal to him, but they have nothing. That's what that particular clip means: someone who has everything. We started to discuss, okay, how does this happen? Does one punch the other one? Is it big and bruising, or is it like just kind of messy? Jason and Jesse just started to play and run around a tree. Then once these two guys meet, it becomes quite comical. I think when Jason's first running in, we're almost shooting it like it's an action scene, you know? It's one of the only times that the camera is really moving and running with the characters. Despite the dark twists of the overall film, were you aiming for something comical in the early scenes? When Jesse and Lily try to escape him, there’s a foot chase through the orchard that becomes kind of …funny. This guy is an unseasoned robber, and surprised that this couple comes home. And then you realize that he's actually robbing the place. In the first couple minutes, you just think this guy lives at this house. Jason pitched an idea about a guy kind of of taking in this property.
