For us,
it was important for people

00:01.966 --> 00:04.566 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
to understand that this film
was about a contradiction.

00:05.166 --> 00:08.166 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
A contradiction between

00:08.166 --> 00:10.566 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
how do we want
to relate to animals

00:10.566 --> 00:12.566 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
and how do we relate to animals.

00:12.566 --> 00:16.500 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
The fact that medicine today
sacrifices animals

00:16.500 --> 00:17.933 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
to save humans.

00:17.933 --> 00:18.500 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
On one hand,

00:19.000 --> 00:21.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
we have a laboratory
that is like a science fiction

00:21.833 --> 00:25.466 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
scenario, with scientists

00:25.666 --> 00:30.000 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
dressed as astronauts
working with lethal viruses.

00:30.000 --> 00:31.400 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And on the other side
of the window,

00:31.400 --> 00:34.600 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
but literally on the other
side of the window, you have a

00:34.600 --> 00:39.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
shepherd with his herd
doing a job that it is believed

00:39.500 --> 00:42.300 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
that started 10,000 years ago.

00:42.300 --> 00:45.466 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
We also understood that our film
was something that

00:45.466 --> 00:47.066 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
didn't
have to take a point of view,

00:47.066 --> 00:51.133 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
because we, I mean, me
as the director, but also the

00:51.133 --> 00:54.300 align:left position:10% line:83% size:80%
co-writers, had a contradictory
feeling about this.

00:54.633 --> 00:57.566 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
We don't want animals to be
sacrificed, but we understand

00:57.566 --> 01:00.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
that science needs this
to advance medicine.

01:01.500 --> 01:05.033 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
So it's not an easy answer
to say, “Okay, I am against.

01:05.033 --> 01:06.000 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
I am for it.”

01:06.000 --> 01:07.133 align:left position:42.5% line:89% size:47.5%
We as

01:08.233 --> 01:11.533 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
urban people want to have a,

01:11.533 --> 01:13.166 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
we are building
an idea of nature

01:13.166 --> 01:14.633 align:left position:12.5% line:89% size:77.5%
as a place with no conflict.

01:14.633 --> 01:17.700 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
We want nature to be beautiful

01:18.033 --> 01:21.133 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
and to be peaceful.

01:21.800 --> 01:23.500 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
And nature is not this.

01:23.500 --> 01:28.300 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
And I think it's something
that we have to deal with

01:28.300 --> 01:31.700 align:left position:12.5% line:83% size:77.5%
because the more we idealize
nature,

01:31.700 --> 01:35.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
the more we widen
the gap between us and nature.
