for managed retreat. It may make economic sense but can you ever | :00:21. | :00:29. | |
justify it on a human level. Piers Morgan investigated under police | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
caution by officers investigating phone hacking, it emerges. You have | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
a meeting in five minutes, you want to try getting out of bed, get up. | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
You are too funny. Love is in the air as boy meets software. The film | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
maker Spike Jonze will be talking exclusively to Newsnight about his | :00:48. | :00:59. | |
new film, HER. Tonight, another storm piles into a country already | :01:00. | :01:03. | |
dealing with the worst flooding in a generation. As heavy rainfall and | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
gale force winds keep in from the Atlantic, it won't be pretty. More | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
than 1,000 homes have been evacuated and there is no obvious relief | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
coming round the corner. The orange on the map represents the flooded | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
areas nine days a this is where it is today. At Romney Lock in | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
Berkshire, this is where the river level is usually found, right now it | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
is all the way up here. The Thames is at its highest level in zero | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
years. Five -- 60 years. 5,800 properties have been flooded since | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
December, last night over 100,000 were without power. Storm after | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
storm crashing in throughout February, with 80mms of rain dumped | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
on the UK already this month, four-times the norm. The scale of | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
the floods crisis is prompting hard questions. Imagine discovering that | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
in just over a decade your village, your whole community would be | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
abandoned, left to the mercy of rising seas. The people of | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
Fairbourne on the coast of west Wales, have just found out this may | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
be what is in store. They are one of 50 coastal communities earmarked for | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
what is known as "managed retreat", basically the acceptance that the | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
cost of maintaining sea defences can't be justified. It makes | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
economic sense, but is it good enough. We have been to the town and | :02:22. | :02:31. | |
sent this report. Another corner of the country battered by storms this | :02:32. | :02:40. | |
week. Is it In west Wales trees have blocked | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
roads, power cut off and train lines shut down. For the last century we | :02:46. | :02:53. | |
have tried to protect coastal communities with this, with sea | :02:54. | :02:57. | |
wall, Shingle banks and break waters. But if we are going to live | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
in a world of more powerful storms and rising sea level, we might have | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
to accept that can't continue forever. Here there were | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
controversial new plans to protect and save some coastal villages while | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
others like this one could be left to the elements. There was a lovely | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
little place, it is very quiet, a traditional bucket and spade holiday | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
dtination, it is a slow-paced commune to ex-everybody knows each | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
other, it is an old fashioned kind of place. It was built just over #00 | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
years ago as a holiday village for industrial workers. These days most | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
of the thousand or so residents have retired here for a quiet life. Thank | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
you. Remember that we have the least average wage in the whole of the | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
British Isles round here, families are surviving on ?15,000-?18,000 a | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
year, they don't have the money or the choice money gives you to move | :03:54. | :03:56. | |
somewhere else. But this could be the first community in the UK to be | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
lost to climate change. A report commissioned by the local authority | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
found the rise in sea levels predicted over the next century will | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
mean the cost of maintaining coastal protection is too high. Under the | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
plans now being put forward, a new line of defence we set up here along | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
this railway line at the back of the village, that area over there will | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
then be at risk of serious flooding. So up to 400 families and local | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
businesses will be told to relocate or moved away. On the small parade | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
of shops in the heart of the village, they are working to extend | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
the local Indian restaurant. Is bakically people -- basically people | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
are panicking and worried. This is a retirement home. People buy houses | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
here, it could be their pension fund. People just are panicking. | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
There is a lot of people worried, very worried. But difficult | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
decisions made here are not made in isolation. As sea levels rise we | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
will have to decide whether to spend more on flood defences as a country? | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
In planning terms there are three main options. The first attack as | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
they have in the Netherlands, reclaim land and continue living | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
just above the water lean, it doesn't come cheap. Or hold the | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
line. Build yourself a higher sea wall, your coast is intact and your | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
feet are Drysdale, but is it sustainable. Then there is the | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
Fairbourne option, known as managed retreat, it is cheaper but the | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
question of who is forced south emotionally charged. The storms are | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
generated, more intense and more unpredictable. There will be a | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
greater impact of storms because the higher sea levels will bring the | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
storm waves closer to the shoreline. It will be a decision based on the | :05:46. | :05:50. | |
cost of defending. And simple as that. We can defend but at cost. | :05:51. | :05:59. | |
Uprooting an entire community won't happen without a fight. We are | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
experiencing extreme weather patterns at the moment, people in | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
England suffering terribly. You see on the news houses falling off | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
cliffs into the sea. It is not just Fairbourne and the Welsh coast. So, | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
yes, we have to think long-term, but the way they have gone about it, | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
they have got the shoreline management plan and then said, oh, | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
and we will do a managed retreat, it is almost like they have put the | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
cart before the horse. They have to realise the enormous consequences on | :06:28. | :06:32. | |
people's lives. The reaction in Fairbourne to these plans has ranged | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
from disbelief to fury, the council has said it is not possible to | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
defend every part of the Welsh coast and ignoring the problem is not an | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
option. These are difficult choices then which other parts of the UK may | :06:46. | :06:53. | |
soon have to face. So what's the answer for Fairbourne and other | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
places like it, can we afford to be anything like other than hard headed | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
faced with how water is rising long-term. We have our guest from | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
the Flood Forum, and the advise of forethe American Government on | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
Hurricane Katrina and other disSASers. The weather doesn't seem | :07:11. | :07:19. | |
to be an inevitable thing that we have to be prepared to let things go | :07:20. | :07:31. | |
we have to be prepared to let things go. What cost a life? To remove | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
people from where they are living their lives, seeing people in the | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
Post Office and pubs, to dispersion them in other communities, that can | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
cause isolation and ultimately depression. We need to think hard | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
about that. Actually perhaps the idea is to work with communities. | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
There are solutions that don't mean removing whole communities like that | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
aren't there, as we have seen? Absolutely. Technically it is | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
possible to defend anything. And looking at the Netherlands where I | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
come from, that is an example where as a society the decision has been | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
made to protect the country into the long-term. But that's a place that | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
the whole country relies on flood defences so, that makes it worth | :08:09. | :08:11. | |
investing for the country in providing that protection. And we | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
could be like that? We could be like that, but there are some fundamental | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
differences between the netherlands and the UK. The fact that two-thirds | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
of the country in Holland and the four largest cities are there means | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
it is vital for the nation. Here it is about a sixth. The reality simply | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
is that means it is not the only vital highest priority like it is in | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
the Netherlands. Any pound that you spend you can't spend on education | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
or health care. It is already happening in some parts, which are | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
uninhabited, at what point do you say we will lose a few homes if it | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
means not spending the millions or eventually the billions that would | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
need to be put in to rescue it? It is a very hard decision. As we saw | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
in that report communities are aware that you know that they need to look | :09:00. | :09:05. | |
long-term. I think what we need to do as that lady was explaining, | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
these things have just happened, the decisions are made, but not with the | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
community. I think that's where... No community would ever say yes to | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
that, it has to be something from further outside, right? It adds to | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
the problem if they are not discussed. If we don't draw | :09:23. | :09:25. | |
communities into the discussion and work with communities, and find out | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
how they are feeling and how they see the future, and work together in | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
partnership to come to a compromise or the way forward, then, you know, | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
it is not good. In a sense as soon as that thought has had, as soon as | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
somebody sees the bit of paper, that is the end of life and investment | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
and commerce for that community, right? It is a very complicated | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
problem. It is a very difficult message to get across. The point is | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
that the only alternative is to pretend that we will be able to keep | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
defending them, while the reality, that would mean a totally different | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
political choice in terms of the investment that the country makes. | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
It is basically a political choice, that is what you are saying? There | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
is a big part of that, yeah, absolutely. Personally I don't think | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
in the UK context it is realistic to expect the whole country will be | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
protected. I do think there are likely to be places like that. Must | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
know, you know, in your head that there is no going to be that kind of | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
investment coming, and it is wrong to pretend to these communities that | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
they can carry on surviving like that? I don't think we need to | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
pretend, we need to work with them, but also... What does that mean, | :10:37. | :10:41. | |
work with them? We need to bring them in as partnership, so they are | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
brought in right from the start and they understand right from the | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
start. So the management involves them. And what the decisions | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
involving them also I think you will find the netherlands, correct me if | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
I'm wrong, actually invest in flood risk management to a higher degree | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
than we do in England. That is what you are saying, it is not going to | :11:02. | :11:04. | |
change. I wonder if the one on the best coast of Wales goes and we | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
talked about the town tonight. What happens to the next one and next | :11:09. | :11:22. | |
one. When will it stop? It will stop at one stage. There is not that much | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
risk in the foreseeable future. An important element is on the one hand | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
it is worth for the UK to start investing more and protecting more | :11:31. | :11:38. | |
households. And if investment does increase many of these households | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
will be protected. The head of the Environment Agency said on our | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
programme on Monday night that he thought any community should be | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
protected. He seemed to completely rule out this managed retreat? It | :11:50. | :11:57. | |
is, you would have to then also pay the bill for T so that political | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
choice then has to be made. I'm not sure if the country is ready for | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
that. Do you think there is the political will to recognise the | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
direction of travel, to have that long-term vision about paying the | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
bill? I think that certainly as far as the national flood forum is | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
concerned we are working with communities in and out, people's | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
whole existence is within that community, and yes, I do think that | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
we should be investing a lot more. We are seeing all these floods | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
happening now. They are on the inIan he is, so -- increase, so we need | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
the investment. Thank you very much both of you. Thank you for coming. | :12:33. | :12:37. | |
Piers Morgan confirmed today that he had been questioned by police | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
investigating the phone hacking scandal. The former Mirror editor, | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
now hosting a CNN talk show in the US, was interviewed under caution | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
back in December. He has always denied involvement in phone hacking | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
and told the Leveson Inquiry that he wasn't aware of phone hacking whilst | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
working at the Mirror. Now it is Piers Morgan's life stories, with... | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
. Piers Morgan motoring. motoring. 'S best-looking heart-throbs Britain | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
has produced, a rich, variedied unpredictable life. A TV heart-throb | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
and doesn't give interviews. Although he doesn't, but one this | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
morning, last December, to the police, under caution, about phone | :13:18. | :13:22. | |
hacking. The man who broke that story was Guardian writer, Roy | :13:23. | :13:32. | |
Greenslade. He's entertaining, thick sinned and totally -- thick skinned | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
and totally obsessed with himself. He has pushed the boundaries of | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
journalism. He was censured by the pressure Complaints Comission on a | :13:44. | :13:46. | |
number of officials and sacked from the Mirror for publishing hoax | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
pictures. Any suggestion that Piers Morgan knew anything about phone | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
hacking has been created by... . Er... . Piers Morgan motoring. In it | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
006 he wrote in the Daily Mail saying he had listened to a tape | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
recording of a message left by Paul McCartney left on the mailbox of his | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
then wife Heather Mills. He described phone hacking as can't an | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
investigative practice that everyone knows was going on at almost every | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
paper in Fleet Street for years". To stab it all there was the story told | :14:20. | :14:25. | |
by Jeremy Paxman, yes, Newsnight's very own, that in 2002 he had been | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
to a lunch in the Mirror Group, where Piers Morgan had explained to | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
him in detail precisely how to hack mobile phones. At the lever son | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
inquiry Morgan tried to play down his state of knowledge about all | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
things hacking. An effort that Lord Leveson described as "utterly | :14:47. | :14:52. | |
unpersuasive". Leveson went on to say he had seen no evidence that | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
Morgan had authorised hacking or anyone from the Mirror had. That was | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
enthis. Since then civil hacking actions against them have been given | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
the go ahead to proceed to court. A number of journalist have been | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
arrested with regards to hacking. A current witness in the trial said he | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
learned how to hack at the Sunday Mirror, the police have let it be | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
known that the Mirror Group was under investigation for potential | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
corporate criminal liability. Given all of that, and Morgan's previous, | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
so to speak, once the police started looking seriously at the Mirror in | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
connection with phone hacking, it was a virtual inevitability that | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
Morgan would be interviewed by investigating officers. In fact, it | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
would have been much more surprising if he hadn't been. On his Twitter | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
account Morgan says of himself, and I quote, "one day, you are the cock | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
of the walk, the next you are a feather duster". Is he cock or | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
cleaner? What about his new year as the new Larry King on America's CNN | :15:56. | :16:03. | |
news network? Morgan's buzz hasn't translated to particularly strong | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
ratings. His position is some what tenuous, as is almost everyone else | :16:07. | :16:14. | |
in the prime time line-up. The question that this will reach out | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
and damage him is something they are monitoring at CNN. I wouldn't think | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
the latest disclosure that he was questioned by police is in itself | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
dispositive. For now Piers Morgan is making the news. Leaving that to one | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
side for a second Steve, we have got a fairly big week next week in the | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
hacking trial, Rebekah Brooks will take the stand? She l for the first | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
time a key defendant takes the stand. The whole thing is taking | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
longer than we thought, it is a month-and-a-half beyond schedule. | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
Rebekah Brooks is said to be on the stand for two weeks leading on to | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
other conditions like Andy Coulson and others. She will be asked, it | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
will be h first opportunity to answer the prosecution case that she | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
knew about the hacking of Milly do youer's -- Dowler's phone. And | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
critically that she was involved in a conspiracy to pervert the course | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
of justice. She is expected to take the stand and be there for as much | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
as two weeks. You say it is behind schedule, is there any end in sight? | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
Mid-May at the earliest. Why do we think it has taken so long? It is a | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
very, very detailed case. For anyone following the level of detail is | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
bafflingly complex. With every connection between every fact, | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
volumes and volumes of them. Painstaking and established. It has | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
taken a long time. On the story we are reporting earlier the Mirror has | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
denied all charges. Piers Morgan and the Mirror scoop group deny any | :18:00. | :18:09. | |
wrongdoing. How can we ignore Valentine's particularlien the | :18:10. | :18:14. | |

it is because she isn't one thing. It is the every day story of man | :18:46. | :18:48. | |

smart connected devices. Hello David, I'm Jude, think of me as your | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
virtual producer. Hello, what I want to know is when will this be a | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
reality, when can I get my open virtual personal assistant? Well | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
David to help you answer that question I will arrange some smart | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
humans for you to talk to. First Professor Steve Young at Cambridge | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
University. Head of engineering. I'm here now, what do I need to know He | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
can start by telling you why tech companies are so keen to provide | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
personal assistants. I will give awe clue, Kerr change! -- kerching. You | :19:54. | :20:02. | |
might say you like shirts or can you order me three. The agent starts | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
transactions on your behalf. Who owns the agent, who is getting the | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
commission from the sale? Well, of course, Apple wants the commission, | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
or going goggle wants the commission. And it is interesting | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
that Amazon are now working very heavily in this space. There already | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
are some virtual assistants that are quite impressive but fairly limited | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
around right now. Google has something called Google Now, Sampson | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
has S-voice and Apple has Siri, which is supposedly for "beautiful | :20:37. | :20:44. | |
woman who leads us to victory". This is Siri. How are Chelsea doing? OK, | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
they appear to be in the first place in the Premier League right now. | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
Good. However if you ask them something they don't know, they | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
resort to a web search. Don't try gettingam rouse. I love you? That's | :21:00. | :21:09. | |
sweet but it is not meant to be. The company behind the Samsung system is | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
called New Canned Communications, they are behind the Apple system | :21:15. | :21:18. | |
too, but they won't admit that publicly. Their principle solutions | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
architect, John West believes we will get closer to the ominousent | :21:23. | :21:33. | |
sources too -- ominousent sources come soon. You are listening to your | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
playlist and you might say throw it on to the sound system, then your | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
Sonas, or whatever bursts into life with the playlist you were listening | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
on to your mobile device. There is the transition of saying "how are | :21:50. | :21:55. | |
your United doing? ? S can "to me it is Hereford as opposed to Manchester | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
United. To be able to give me the information relevant to me. Is | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
there a danger that these virtual personal assistants will get a | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
little annoying. You might remember the Microsoft paper click. Even a | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
decade after it was retired it still creates a bit of a shudder. At the | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
risk of being annoying David, you might like to know that Microsoft | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
are investing a huge amount of effort into creating a new virtual | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
assistant, the managing director of Microsoft research has his own | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
virtual assistant. Two people stopped by to see you, I said you | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
would be back in 15 minutes. He said once of the hardest part is the | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
conversation's natural, sounding, rules. Natural sounding Rauls. | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
Conversation is more or -- Rules. Conversation is like a complex | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
Tango, a dance between two people in the could go any of space basis the | :22:53. | :23:00. | |
muscular skeltal state. But meeting more than one person involves not | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
just a simple turn taking, like you might see in today's assistants or | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
on the cellphone, but it is a very complicated fluid operation where | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
people are breaking in. What about the cost, to work this new begin | :23:15. | :23:18. | |
racial of personal assistants will require us to hand over more or less | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
every detail about our lives to one of the big ten companies, once they | :23:23. | :23:26. | |
have got us we are pretty much locked in. It will be a big deal to | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
sack your agent and start using someone else. Like getting divorced? | :23:32. | :23:49. | |
Yes. We are a few years away from an assistant as glamorous andam rouse | :23:50. | :23:57. | |
as Scarlet. That is very rude. You are artificial artificial | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
intelligence. Still, there is no need to get personal. Despite Jonze | :24:01. | :24:08. | |
who is the maverick director who started out as a skateboarder in | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
videos, and breaking out into films like Adaptation and others. Thank | :24:16. | :24:20. | |
you very much, talk us through of the idea in HER of falling in love | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
with your soft wear? Have you seen the movie? I have, but I'm not | :24:26. | :24:33. | |
allowed to tell people the end! Yes, I'm just curious what your reaction | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
to the movie, or what you felt when you were watching it. The lead-in | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
was all about falling in love with software, which actually the movie | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
isn't about, it is more of a love story and relationship story. But I | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
was wondering what you felt when you were watching it. I was curious as | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
to whether the plan has found his ideal woman who works for him as his | :24:57. | :25:07. | |
PA. As the movie goes on, she certainly starts out as his | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
assistant. As she becomes a person is when the relationship becomes | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
real, when she has her own wants and needs and her own desires separate | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
from what he wants. That is where obviously the conflict in any | :25:28. | :25:30. | |
relationship is. How to have your own needs and fulfil your partner's | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
needs as much as you can. Did you watch it more from that point of | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
view or emotionally at all? Was the computer, the software side | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
important for you. This is an idea that has been rumbling for ten years | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
or so with you. The I wondered if you worried technology would | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
overtake you? No, the movie is really not about technology or | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
software. And that is why I'm trying to understand how you felt it when | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
you watched the movie, because the movie, most peop find it an | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
emotional movie, but the way you are decribing it sounds more of a, to me | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
it is not a movie about the technology in society, it is not a | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
commentary on that. That is the setting that we live in right now. | :26:17. | :26:26. | |
Which is, he know -- you know. At the moment there is a particular set | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
of circumstances that prevend us or we use to avoid intimacy. Really the | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
movie is about finding intimacy with somebody else outside yourself. Both | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
for him, for Joachim and Scarlet's character, it is just a voice for | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
them, it is them trying to connect. It is the challenge trying to | :26:49. | :26:56. | |
connect and longing to connect when you know, and then the need for | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
intimacy and the things inside ourselves that prevent us from | :27:01. | :27:08. | |
incompetency. -- intimacy. Were you not moved by the movie. The audience | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
want to hear you not me? I want to hear from you. Emily. Emily don't | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
avoid this question. Do you think. Were you moved by it at all I was | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
moved by it. Yeah. Would you see it asset in the future? It is set in | :27:23. | :27:32. | |
the slight future but more of a heightened version of our world, | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
where everything is sort of comfortable or convenient and nice, | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
but there is still this loaning or loneliness and need f connection and | :27:41. | :27:49. | |
tell me what moved you? One thing I thought was curious is the | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
technology is not very obvious and not in your faces and need for | :27:55. | :28:07. | |
connection and tell me what moved you? One thing I thought was curious | :28:08. | :28:10. | |
is the technology is not very obvious and not in your face, it | :28:11. | :28:12. | |
recede noose the background and the characters are there. Is it | :28:13. | :28:15. | |
deliberate? Yes, it is the setting for the love story. You filmed it in | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
the scientifically advanced part of the world in chine that. We filmed, | :28:20. | :28:25. | |
the movie is set in Los Angeles, we used it could larged together with | :28:26. | :28:32. | |
areas of Shanghai to create a future Los Angeles. It is not necessarily | :28:33. | :28:37. | |
scientific, it is an area or city that has a lot of new construction | :28:38. | :28:43. | |
and it works as a new low-developed Los Angeles. ?TRANSMIT Elizabeth | :28:44. | :28:59. | |
