Sometimes friends have a special song that means something to them and only them for a dog and robot in the animated film robot dreams
It's an earth winen fire song september do you remember
When dy the song first appears as the robot and dog are walking through central park in new york city dancing together
While on roller sktes they become a star attraction in a huge crowd gathers around them
The film is based on a graphic novel of the same named by syreviron
The follows a story of a lonely dog
Who buys a builded yourself robot to keep him company
The film robot dreams premired at con film festival last year
And has just come out in featers this weekend
Its director bobllow bear hair joins us now welcome to the program
Hi ah my pleasure to be talking with you about my baby
Robel dreams
Oh Yes It's
It's a beautiful movie
Ah now the graphic marvel didn't come with a soundtrack
So so
Why did you choose that earth win and fire song to define the friendship of the dog and the robot
Yes
When i wrote the script
I wanted to have roler dancing in central park
And i needed a fanky disco upbeat song from then you know late seventies
Early eighties and straight to my head came september
And it was a very obvious
Because the stories starts in september
And the film ends in september of the following year
So we realize what if you becomes thetheum
And
And how did you discover the book
Robot dreams
And why did you decide to make a movie about it
I found it
Because i collect wordless graphic novels and
And children's books
And immediately felling love with the book
But i just put it on the shelf of my graphic novels
Because up to now ii making life action films and in two thousand eighteen
I took it out of the shelf
And this time when i read it
When i got to the end of the book
I was so deeply move
I was in tears in those eight years
From the first time i read the book to the two thousand eighteen
My best friend stop in my best friend
I lost my mother
I thought about relations that i had in the past
And i said
Wow
If the book has made this impact on me
If i make a film out of it
I'm really sure
That the audience are 're going to make their own sustitutions and think about their loved ones
That they are not with them anymore
So you collect graphic novels and children's books without dialogue
And i know you did a silent film before attribute to the silent movie air
And then this one robot dreams doesn't have dialogue
Either do you have something against dialogue
Or is it something that you're getting out of not having the dialogue
That's
That's right the basealis storytelling that's what pure cinema is
It is for me and in a way
I feel like a cinematic terrorist
You know i like to tell other filmake ers dialogue be tekay
But we cannot forget what make cinema a unique way of telling a story ies by by using images
And
And that's what i enjoy the most till stories
We thought even one word of dialogue
And does the case of robot dream as well
And you know usually with film interviews for our show
We play a clipper two of dialogue
Because this is a dialogue free film can we watch seen together
And we're narraate for
For disteners like as we're 're going pick one near the the beginning
It's a scene and central park
And the dog and robot watch a group of school keds
I mean well young animals in the movie walking down a path holding hands
But what happens next we see dog
Robot wooking on the central park
Dog is like looking at everything
At the
At the trees
At the birds
And suddenly sees a group of his school kids with their teachers
There and he sees that two a little folks on their bear
They are holding hands and at that moment
He looks at the dog and looks at his hand
And then grabps the hand right and dog screams
Because robot is very pushing
Because has and very hard and dog heheurts
But dog knows that robot didn't mean to hurt him
And
And this is okay
If robot wants to hold the hand
I'm going to hold the hand
And then they
They leave the screen like is a charlie teplin movie
And they are walking away
Is one of my favorite little scenes in the film
Um
Well you know now that you describe it that way
I feel like it gits to a deeper meaning in a in the movie
And seems to be a about intent
Like how someone can hurt you
But it's not intentional
Well ii like your interpetion now and i think life is like that you know i think sometimes people hurt us
And they really didn't know they we didn't mean
And i think forgivenvenss ss one one this forforgivenalities and selective memory how we we remember the good things
And we forget the bad things
Ii think is very important to to look forward yeah
And carres the memories
That people that touch us in our lives
This film really make me think a lot about relations
And people that i met in the past
That they're not with me anymore
Who do you think was lonely the the robot or the dog in this movie
Well ii think how the film stars is once upon the time in new york city
There was a lonely dog in the
In a railroad apartment
In the is lage playing ying alone video game
How sad could it wave
And then he just hits up atv dinner
The microwave
And then he channel serves and then he hes up some neighbors 可以下a couple having fun
You know i was a lonely dog in new york
I live in new york for a long time
So i can
I think many people can relate we had moments in our life
That we
We feel that a little bit miserable
Because we didn't have anybody to share and robot
I think the robot personality is just like of course he can be sometimes lonely
But there's something about robot
That he's such a positive thinking character
And also one of the miszing things about robots
That he uses dreams to overcome his loneless to dream it really helps to feel not lonely in his case
This is a film about two best friends
But there is also aa deep message about loss and moving on and longing and letting go
And as an adult i have a hard time with that let tting go stuff
I'm like no ii not given them away
But
But it need a film
Others i no go
你放不完
Yeah
No i love how how you reacted to the film
You know no
Yes
That's the way
That's the kind of i made it for you
I shall
Because there's the kind of audience
That i like
Like active audience
Do you think this is for kids or adults many
Or that even a question that you thought about
You know there's a prejudice is about animation
You know they think that many you know the the audience
Even the film critics
They think there's for kids
And of course they're animation for kids
But there are animation for this film as a director
