    Man i like where her head is at. When John was trying not to cry its just a reminder of how big this guys heart is and his passion, its so beautiful to see people reacting physically to joy, we dont see enough of this in that way. If i was him id be fully balling with the joy of my life. Kids, his career, his wife, just being able to love myself would be enough for a happy cry. What a beautiful man and as usual Rosamand Pike is a veritable badass, completely present and curious and brilliant and honest. This combo certainly made for a special conversation. Because Krasinski so jovial and passionate its nice to have that contrast in characters a quite moment for them to go deeper.

    To be honest, I clicked on this video mostly because I find John Krasinski incredibly attractive! But, as I watched him interview Pike and then talk about his experience with directing these two child actors in A Quiet Place (which is a fantastic film, by the way), I felt something, for lack of a better word, odd. It was like the physical attraction almost went away and something else emerged. He comes across as so caring, loving, and intelligent in such a genuine way that I finally realized a part of me actually wished that growing up I had a father like him. As a gay man with psychoanalytic training who is slightly older than Krasinski I am stunned by the fact that he (assuming this is similar to what he is like in real life) triggered such an unusual fantasy in my "subconscious" mind. I hope he is fully aware of his charisma and uses it very judiciously, because I doubt very many people can say no to a person who can light up all the critical attachment networks in the human brain so easily.

      I completely get that. Maybe its just that particular desired connection outweighs your needs for the other maybe because you already have those connections. Its very simple really our parents are our first loves (if your lucky) and they set the bar of our expectations of what men or women are. When you can recognise immediately that this is a person who has the qualities you connect wit now and would want to experience as a child you are brought back to the ideas of what you may have craved in hindsight from your parent. At least thats how i feel. I thought you might be Dax Shepard for a second but alas. He is beautiful i was completely smitten after the office like he truly broke my heart so effortlessly it felt, gahh the butterflies. He has a playfulness that really works because of his earnestness. Id like to see less action Krasinski and more working man krasinski in his characters that is, because he has this natural heroism that is richer i think when its not the character whose already set up that way.

      You should listen to her narrate the book on Audible. What an actor!

    I love this interview pairing, but a warning. If you haven't seen A Quiet Place and are going to....dont watch this interview. All kind of spoilers!!!

      @@matejvotocek490 because it's based on a true story, it depends on if you have heard of her. If you want the story to unfold through the movie, then I would suggest you do not watch the episode either.

    It's rare to see a woman showing her real face, not the one she'd chosen to paint on a particular day. I like her beautiful mind and her name which fits her personality, well the part we can see here.
    Thank you.♥️🤗

    I just finished hearing her narrate a book on Audible, Pride & Prejudice, in which she had recently also had a part in the movie. She was fantastic and I will look for other books in which she narrates. Her speaking voice is honey, soothing, and sexy.

    So, with John and also with Adam Driver who trained to be a marine and then was injured and couldn’t go into combat... I see a sort of almost survivor’s guilt for not fighting in our generation’s wars, or maybe not. But, I just wanted to say that telling these stories is almost more of a service to us to help us to understand what has been happening and to bring such respect to the troops. Just, thank you.

    As a Jordanian watching the film, I was happy that Jordan provided the access to Syrian and Iraqi refugees to act in the film. That being said... The elements of a "documentary" film really fell short. Because we are used to seeing so many real stories from people coming from war zones, this one felt forced and a diversion from Marie's story. The film features "locals" but feels exclusively tailored and targeting Western audiences.
