Darren Aronofsky on fatphobia, empathy and 'The Whale' | Podcast

[@nirvfan81]

Great interview guys! The Whale was a very deep film with multiple emotions. Hard to watch at times, yet could not look away. The film is a modern masterpiece due to the flawless writing, directing and acting. Brendan Fraser deserves all the recent acclaim, and an Oscar for that performance.

15:11 "But when the Brendan Fraser 'aha' moment happened, I was like 'Oh, that's really interesting.'" "And honestly, I didn't even know that much of his work. It was more of just seeing his eyes, and his, just, soul?" "And then he came by my office and we met and we sat and I was like, "Wow! What a gentleman. What a sweet guy who clearly, _clearly,_ has a lot to tell the world about what he can do." - Darren Aronofsky (Los Angeles Times Podcast)

The whale is fascinating. Brillant mind that Darren.Brillant script as well. Brendon is the man.

I think it's kind of sad that people think of comedic roles as "less sophisticated".
