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.

latest film has the age-old story of boy meets computer! ? The latest

:18:15.:18:20.

offering from Spike Jonze, of Adaptation, we will ask him what

:18:21.:18:23.

happens when you fall in love with your operating system. His film is

:18:24.:18:27.

set in some elusive point in the future, as our technology editor

:18:28.:18:31.

reports, the days of getting cosy with your software may not be that

:18:32.:18:38.

far way. What do you love most about Sam? She's so many things. I can say

:18:39.:18:45.

it is because she isn't one thing. It is the every day story of man

:18:46.:18:48.

falling in love with his computer operating system. Backchimp Phoenix

:18:49.:19:05.

plays a man whose life comes together by building his life

:19:06.:19:10.

through an operating system. All companies are working on providing

:19:11.:19:14.

us with a technical system, the modern genie, not out of a lamp but

:19:15.:19:18.

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.

there a danger that these virtual personal assistants will get a

little annoying. You might remember the Microsoft paper click. Even a

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

would be back in 15 minutes. He said once of the hardest part is the

conversation's natural, sounding, rules. Natural sounding Rauls.

Conversation is more or -- Rules. Conversation is like a complex

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
