OK SO LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN IT IS LIKE DOING YOUR LAUNDRY WHERE YOU SORT EVERYTHING BY COLOR BUT THEN JUST THROW IT ALL IN TOGETHER ANYWAY BECAUSE WHO CARES RIGHT? SO ALFONSO CUARON IS AT THIS BUSAN FILM FESTIVAL WITH HIS SON JONAS AND THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT THE MOVIE GRAVITY WHICH THEY WROTE TOGETHER. HE SAYS HE USED TO CARE ABOUT MOVIES MORE THAN ANYTHING BUT NOW HE CARES MORE ABOUT LIFE AS AN EXPERIENCE WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE HE IS AN OSCAR WINNER. THEY WERE REFLECTING ON THE REBIRTH THEMES IN GRAVITY AND HOW THEY TRIED TO MAKE EVERY SINGLE ACTION MATTER. AND JONAS IS THERE TOO SHOWING HIS OWN MOVIE CAMPEON GABACHO WHICH IS A WHOLE OTHER THING. IT IS JUST WILD TO HEAR DIRECTORS TALKING ABOUT LIFE LIKE THAT OK BUT ARE YOU SEEING WHAT I AM SEEING?

THIS IS THE KIND OF THING THAT KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT THINKING ABOUT HOW FAMOUS PEOPLE JUST CHANGE THEIR MINDS LIKE THEY ARE CHANGING SOCKS. SO ALFONSO CUARON IS AT THE BUSAN FILM FESTIVAL REVISITING GRAVITY WITH HIS SON JONAS AND HE DROPS THIS LINE ABOUT HOW HE USED TO LOVE FILM ABOVE ALL ELSE BUT NOW LIFE IS THE MAIN EVENT. THEY WERE GEEKING OUT ABOUT THE TECHNICAL EXPERIMENTATION AND THE LIMITED DIALOGUE IN THE MOVIE WHICH BROUGHT ALFONSO THAT BEST DIRECTOR OSCAR. JONAS IS ALSO PREMIERING HIS FILM CAMPEON GABACHO THERE TOO SO THE WHOLE FAMILY IS WORKING HARD. HE SAYS HE WANTS TO FOCUS ON SURVIVAL AND THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE NOW WHICH IS DEEP FOR A GUY WHO FILMED PEOPLE FLOATING IN SPACE OK I AM GETTING ANOTHER ROUND, THINK ABOUT IT.
