1
00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:07,620
[Patrick Wilson] I, I think one of the things that, you know, 
we, we that all sunk in with us, is, is, like Ed

2
00:00:07,620 --> 00:00:14,440
was saying, when you start the film in Hawaii, um,
we start shooting it there. And, you know, not unlike the

3
00:00:14,449 --> 00:00:21,259
military, actors come from all over parts
of the U.S., the world. We’ve all got various

4
00:00:21,259 --> 00:00:26,749
family members in some form of service. And
we all feel this kinship, and we all sort of

5
00:00:26,749 --> 00:00:33,320
focus in to playing these soldiers… soldiers
and sailors, and we dug in as much as we could.

6
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:40,350
And then you have that added element, of the bullet
holes in the hanger, and when you’re riding

7
00:00:40,350 --> 00:00:46,340
to set, and you are passing by a building, and you see bullet holes in the side of a building, and

8
00:00:46,340 --> 00:00:49,120
you go, “h, what’s that from?” And then somebody says nonchalantly,

9
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:52,780
“ell, that’s from December, 7th, 1941”. It all

10
00:00:52,820 --> 00:01:00,770
the sudden becomes very real to us. It’s it’s this is
the way that we serve our country, right? We’re

11
00:01:00,770 --> 00:01:05,580
not soldiers and sailors, and so this is our,
this is the way we honor it, is to give as much life and

12
00:01:05,580 --> 00:01:11,800
much reverence as we can to these guys. Um, and that became very real very quickly because you realize

13
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:19,020
Pearl Harbor is the only American battlefield, right, of World War II. And, so, it starts to sink

14
00:01:19,020 --> 00:01:26,280
in very quickly, the lives lost and the sacrifice.
And so that’s one thing that we, as we make this, you know,

15
00:01:26,290 --> 00:01:32,870
we have a great life and a great living doing, playing
in movies, and it becomes very real very quickly

16
00:01:32,870 --> 00:01:39,950
for us to play these… to give...just give some sense
of soul to these men and women that sacrifice

17
00:01:39,950 --> 00:01:42,370
so much. So that’s certainly something as we sit

18
00:01:42,370 --> 00:01:49,510
in the Pentagon, for us, it’s a pretty big, big deal because we know what a wonderful opportunity

19
00:01:49,510 --> 00:01:52,979
that we’ve had to add to Naval history,
really.

20
00:01:52,979 --> 00:01:56,869
[Ed Skrein]
I agree so much, and I’ve never had a, a shooting

21
00:01:56,869 --> 00:02:03,740
experience like it, ya know. The kind of, although,
we had fun, you know, and the comradery was

22
00:02:03,740 --> 00:02:10,540
wonderful on set. There was this kind of seriousness
and kind of responsibility, and respect, and duty

23
00:02:10,540 --> 00:02:17,700
to the shoot, which is then carried on into the
press tour. And I’ve never known a

24
00:02:17,700 --> 00:02:22,160
press tour like this. I've never experienced anything like this.

25
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:27,440
You know, there’s
times that we’ve been close to tears in interviews, you know,

26
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:32,940
talking about our, our, our family’s members. And, you know, the, the effects of the war, um, 

27
00:02:32,940 --> 00:02:38,140
and the effects that the second World War had on all of us. You know, I was born in the 80’s,

28
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:43,580
but even two generations past the war, the, the, you know,

29
00:02:43,580 --> 00:02:46,620
you can still feel it, the trauma
is multi-generational.

30
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,920
Um, and, you know, this means so much

31
00:02:50,940 --> 00:02:58,680
to so many people, it, it, it’s you know, the sense of response...responsibility only increases. You know, the first screening

32
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:04,200
of this that we had was on Ford Island. It was
poignant, romantic and fitting that we went

33
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:09,800
back there to screen it for the servicemen and
women over there. We had the admiral of the

34
00:03:09,809 --> 00:03:17,610
Pacific Fleet introduce the movie, and we, um, had
The, the Navy Band play before the screening.

35
00:03:17,610 --> 00:03:26,240
It was one of the most, um, poignant experiences I’ve
ever had. I was close to tears when they clapped

36
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:35,159
at the end. You know, this was something different
from the kind of normal frivolity of our, somewhat

37
00:03:35,159 --> 00:03:43,189
frivolity, of our job. Um, and, and whilst, you know, it is incredibly
entertaining, and that’s kind of the pride

38
00:03:43,189 --> 00:03:48,150
for me is that we have these two sides of
the coin. We’ve managed to blur something

39
00:03:48,150 --> 00:03:55,379
very important to me, art and creativity,
and we’ve blended that with, with, with important cultural

40
00:03:55,379 --> 00:04:02,030
and global history. Yes, this is an American
story. Yes, this is very important, um, for America,

41
00:04:02,030 --> 00:04:08,260
but this is global history. You know, this is relevant
to all of us. It was one of the many turning

42
00:04:08,260 --> 00:04:16,910
points and, and sliding doors moments of the Second
World War. So, um. you know, this, this, this whole experience,

43
00:04:16,910 --> 00:04:22,710
it continues to be incredible. You know, this morning
we were in Arlington at the grave of

44
00:04:22,710 --> 00:04:31,620
Dick Best, my character, and, um, so, uh, yes, the emotional
rollercoaster continues.

45
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:36,580
[Luke Kleintank] Yeah, I mean, I know you had family that served. You had family that served.

46
00:04:36,660 --> 00:04:42,800
I had family that was in this battle, so, you know, we're paying respects to them,

47
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:48,040
but also these are men that gave us our freedoms. And without them, I may not have the freedoms

48
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:53,500
that I have today. So, yeah, it’s, uh, it’s weighted, it should be weighed, it’s real. It's something

49
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:59,060
That, um, it’s, it’s, this is for them, you know. This is for us, this I for us as a nation.

50
00:04:59,060 --> 00:05:02,520
So, I think, uh, it’s super important.
