hi hi everyone it's so nice to see you today um you know I think the way that we approached music in this film was very special and extremely nuanced uh I I wouldn't necessarily say that this is actually a musical in a lot of ways it's uh very different the way that music is used is to really give the characters a way to express what they need to say because the scene and just the dialogue is not enough so uh like Walken said we did a lot of this live uh and in a lot of ways The Pianist that was on set with us was sort of like an actor off off camera u in the scene with us and uh we worked really hard also on the way that we sang and for me it was a lot about uh kind of unlearning technique and uh forgetting how to breathe and allowing uh the song to completely come out of the character and you know like said you know he always felt like Arthur had music inside of him and I I think I just for me I really wanted to help execute Todd's vision for what this could be with music
