![]() But when you look back after, you know, a number of years where you said yes, and you’ve done as many jobs as you can, and you haven’t really been too fussy. A career is something that’s behind you and it’s too late to do anything about it. You know, I always say, never say no, because it’s what’s your career. So I think I’m very careful to kind of, you know, give anyone advice about jobs apart from that. I mean, the idea of actually working and just working at something you just love doing is something my father never knew, he never experienced that. And David Oyelowo, well, he directed it, but also like his dad, and I like how it all weaves together and is still like this child story. And I really like how your character plays into that. Like it’s about a mother and like her last couple of months, but it’s about this child trying to come to terms with it. And that’s why I think what is really interesting about this movie is that like, it’s very sad. This fits in that perfect little bubble of those emotionally charged movies that kids are leading. ![]() THE MARY SUE: I think as we continue on it’s those that appeal to those movies from the eighties, it’s very much there with like shows like Stranger Things and stuff like that. ![]() Not just for people who want to make them, but also for audiences who want to see them. I know he was a fan of those films, but I think what it is is there’s a genuine love for those movies. And I think, I think Dave, you know, I would say someone, I’m not sure if it’s an, homage to those movies. It’s, you know, there is, there’s something to be said for that, you know, something to be said for those movies. Um, you know, the father has some tension, you know, the mother worried about what’s going to happen to her two men when she goes, you know, it’s full of very, very appealing things for youngsters, but also very grownup things, you know, the whole notion of loss and grief, all of that, so you’ve got in a sense, something for everyone, you know, I was being facetious about cross-generational appeal, but it’s a serious point. His father’s looking for him because there’s tension in the family already. You’ve got, you know, he goes off, cause he’s obsessed with that. It reminded me very much of those kind of big family movies that you used to have back in the eighties, you know, like, Stand By Me, Goonies, E.T., all those movies it’s got, it’s got that kind of quality where you’ve got this sort of … I’ve come across this new phrase cross-generational appeal it’s got CGA and, you know, because you’ve got this great story about this young kid desperately trying to get onto this quest to find some of the answers to save his mother. And thirdly, most importantly, if the movie is terrible, nobody blames you.”Īnd I think that’s a wonderful story because this film, I would have walked across cut glass to do this movie because David’s a friend, but also I just love the script. Second, they treat you like the crown jewels. Because very often these kind of small kind of, you know, cameo parts, which really I love doing them, I must say because there’s this … a quick sidebar, there’s a wonderful thing the late Bob Hoskins’ once said was “The great thing about playing cameos is by the time you arrive on the movie, everyone’s so sick of everyone else, they’re delighted to meet you. And so when you’re approaching a smaller role like this that does pack a lot of the weight to the movie, how do you approach that as an actor?ĪLFRED MOLINA: Well, I approached it in a very much the same way as any other kind of role. THE MARY SUE: I really like this movie because I think it’s a really interesting look at grief from a child’s perspective in a lot of ways and with your character, it’s interesting because he’s talking to a child about an urban legend and doesn’t really think much of it at the time, but I really liked his journey in the movie and how he kind of comes back and realizes like I didn’t, I was just talking to a kid about a legend.
