Amanpour and Company

>> ONE THING THAT I HOPE THE MOVIE DOES IS I HOPE THAT IT REACHES THE MOTHERS, THE WIVES AND GRANDMOTHERS MARRIED TO THE PEOPLE WHO SIT ON THE 100 CORPORATION -- BOARDS OF THE 100 CORPORATIONS THAT ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST OF THE CARBON EMISSIONS AND TO SAY TO THEM, YOUR HUSBAND IS DRIVING A CAR, ALL THE KIDS ARE IN THE BACK, AND HE IS DRIVING IT STRAIGHT FOR A CLIFF. YOU ARE IN THE FRONT SEAT. YOU HAVE TO GRAB THE WHEEL. THESE BOARDS ARE MOSTLY MEN. THEY ARE NOT THINKING ABOUT THEIR GRANDCHILDREN. IF THE MOVIE CAN GET TO THEM, I HOPE IT DOES. >> I WONDER WHETHER YOU WERE SURPRISED, ADAM, THE SORT OF POLARIZING REACTION TO IT. SUCCESSFUL IT'S ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESS FILMS NETFLIX HAS HAD. IT GOT WEIRD REVIEWS FROM THE CRITICS. WHAT WAS YOUR INITIAL REACTION TO THAT? >> YEAH. YOU KNOW, I THINK IT'S ALL VERY HEALTHY. THE RESPONSE FROM THE PUBLIC AT LARGE, FROM THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE THAT SAW IT, WAS OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE. BUT I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT WE'RE LIVING IN VERY DIFFICULT, CONFUSING TIMES RIGHT NOW. WE'RE IN A HINGE POINT IN HUMAN HISTORY WHERE WE ARE AS AN EMPIRICAL FACT DESTROYING THE LIVABLE CLIMATE AT AN INCREASING RATE AND IT'S HAPPENING FASTER THAN WE THOUGHT IT WOULD. THE IDEA OF DOING A MOVIE THAT'S ABOUT HOW WE HAVE GASLIT EACH OTHER FOR PROFIT UNDER THE GUISE AS MERYL SAID OF EVERYTHING IS FINE, LOOK AT THESE ADVERTISEMENTS, EVERYTHING IS NORMAL. THE IDEA WE WOULD DO A MOVIE THAT'S AN ABSURD COMEDY BUT ALSO A DRAMA AND THAT WOULD DRAW OUT SPLIT RESPONSES, IT DIDN'T SURPRISE ME AT ALL. IN FACT, I THINK IT'S HEALTHY TO FEEL THAT KIND OF RESPONSE. >> I DO, TOO.
