Since 1959, the United States has put more 334 billion tons (303 billion metric tons) of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, about 21.5% of the global total.
MURPHY: It’s a seemingly simple story, but it’s actually incredibly complex the way it talks about society and complicity and shame and guilt and secrecy and fear and all those things. I felt like it had a lot to offer audiences.MURPHY: It’s a male protagonist written by a woman, but it’s a story about women. That was quite interesting and unconventional. And the story really begins when the film ends. The real drama happens afterwards. And I think that’s just so unconventional and quite radical. The reason Bill is the man that he is, is because of what happened to him as a child and this act of charity that his mother experienced. And then these awful acts of cruelty that these other girls are experiencing — that’s what’s bringing him to this place in his life.
Claire had actually said in a podcast, someone said “oh it’s such an heroic act” and she said “no, he’s not a hero, he’s just someone who’s having a nervous breakdown.” I thought that was really smart. And that’s kind of how I tried to play it.It all comes back, as it tends to with men, in middle age. They begin to really sense their mortality and they have kids of their own. That’s when it all seems to come crashing down on them. And it’s so beautifully observed by Claire and Enda (Walsh).MURPHY: I’m a kind of a serial re-collaborator. I just love working with people again. And I really firmly believe you got the best work from trust and from friendship. Enda I’ve worked with in a theater like four or five times and, and he’s just generally brilliant. I knew that he loved Claire’s book and that he would understand that world. And Eileen, it’s very hard to act 20 years of history, but when you have 28 years of history, you get it for free. She’s just a phenomenally powerful actor. She can kind of do anything.
MURPHY: My producing partner was working with Matt on the U2 documentary about Sarajevo, and I was working with Matt on “Oppenheimer.” It was a pincer movement. I remember it was like a night shoot in the desert somewhere, and we were waiting for the rain to pass or the lights to be fixed. And he was telling me about. I said well, I happen to have this script, and I gave it to him. He’s got such great taste. He’s such a great filmmaker and actor, just a legend and just a lovely human being. He just really understands these sorts of stories. And immediately he said, yeah, we’re on.
MURPHY: I’m not aware of it, really, because it feels so brand new and so fresh. You know, it’s very hard to kind of speak about it because it was a hugely humbling and almost passive experience, because you don’t really have any control over other people voting on the work that you did. But if it allows us to tell the sorts of stories that I’d like to tell, which have a point of view, which have something to say, then I’ll take it.
