“To try to expunge the bad in order to think that an idealised version of us is possible is one of the cruellest exercises that we can do,” “And yet, we go back at it again and again in civilisation”

“This is all realism, in the sense that it is a stylish movie, it is elegant, it is beautiful,”

Guillermo del Toro says
:
“I’ve always contrasted the monsters from an origin point of view, that is [that they were] supernatural, being more beautiful, and humans being more monstrous,” “I had enormous kinship, and empathy, and pity for Stan. It’s not that I like what he does, but I understand he is a very tragic central character. I see him as a man that creates his destiny. That’s a beautiful thing to follow. One of the things that I try to do a little contrary to the normal noir is that I didn’t want to judge him, I wanted to understand him”

(
about Cate Blanchett
)
:
“For me, the salient thing is intelligence, an intelligence that is contained. And I think Cate is one of the most intelligent human beings I’ve ever met and brings that to every part,”
watoday Sunday, January 16, 2022 9:01:00 AM EAT
Guillermo del Toro adds
:
“The same is true for Bradley,” “I think the gravity and darkness that he brings to Stan, he had never done. And the way he behaves, moves, assumes the period, the intelligence, to make him real. So, those two, I called them jokingly, when I was going to get Cate Blanchett, I called Bradley and I said, hey, King Kong, I’m about to meet with your Godzilla. And I said, together you will destroy blocks and blocks of the city”

Guillermo del Toro says
:
“The way Bradley, Kim [Morgan, the film’s co-writer, and del Toro’s wife] and I discussed it, we always talked about our reckoning,”
watoday Sunday, January 16, 2022 9:01:00 AM EAT
Guillermo del Toro adds
:
“It’s not a whim to be edgy, it’s not a whim to be dark, it is a movie that resonates with the anxieties of today, truth, lies, belief, perception, closed systems of reconfirmation of bias, hucksterism that rises and rises in a populist way. What are you going to end in but the truth?” “You show a man the truth of his life, not changing, he just gets worse. And then in the last two minutes, all the masks fall off, and you have an incredible moment”

about Elmer Gantry

:
“That’s what I called the Elmer Gantry portion of the novel and I think it has been done to perfection a few times already,”

“What I had not seen is a guy being a predator of people who are seeking specific solace,”
watoday Sunday, January 16, 2022 9:01:00 AM EAT
Guillermo del Toro recalls
:
“Very early on, some psychics show up to talk to my mother, and they said, we know where your husband is, we can take you there if you believe in us,” “And I remember saying, please get away, leave the house. But I saw my mother hold on to that hope. So, I’ve seen this effect firsthand. And for me, it’s not a discourse”
watoday Sunday, January 16, 2022 9:01:00 AM EAT
Guillermo del Toro says
:
“Which I tried, and I realised for the first time in my life that Dad had smaller wrists than me,” “I don’t know how or why this is important as a moment, but it’s there in this movie,”
watoday Sunday, January 16, 2022 9:01:00 AM EAT
Guillermo del Toro explains
:
“It’s not a surprise where Stanton ends up,” “But it’s how he ends up there. You don’t watch the history of Jesus and root for him not to get crucified. You don’t watch Oedipus and bet that he’s not going to bed his mother. The inexorable fate will happen because character is immutable. That’s the power and the difficulty of a movie like this”
