WAMG Interview: Paul Dano
Last weekend I posted my review of Gigantic and I also posted my interview with Matt Aselton. Well, in addition to meeting Matt, I also had a chance to sit at a press roundtable for Paul Dano. I broke up what he had to say in 3 different videos. Enjoy!
In this first video, Dano talks a little about the film, his role as a producer and what it was like working with such a talented cast.
In this video, Dano talks more about filmmaking in general and his feelings on what the most important part of a film are.
Finally, Dano opens up a little about one of the most anticipated movies of the year, Where the Wild Things are.
This weekend Gigantic opened in more New York theaters, as well as in Chicago, New Jersey and California. Check www.thegiganticmovie.com for future engagements.

Hey Guys,
I’ve been thinking about the movie “gigantic” which I rented & watched last night. I grabbed it based on the good actors and a bit into the movie I wondered why they chose to be in it. After some deliberation I realized John Goodman’s character revealed himself to be Wall Street, literally Wall Street, horizontal pavement and all it represents (e.g. skyscrapers perpendicular to his horizontal transported prone position.) The other characters and dialogue seemed to be a montage of cultures/countries and economies.
Let’s take Brian, he was the new, young American wanting above board relationships with
China since he was eight years old; probably after having seen the nightly news of Tiananmen Square. Do the math.
Okay you’ve probably guessed Mai’s character. When we think of Mai, we think of Spring; when we think of Spring, we think of emerging; and, when we think of gigantic, yep, that would be China.
Moving on, what about the Old Guard? That would be Brian’s brother, in bed so to speak with the Japanese making deals under the table with Russia and China and always carrying his rifle (Cold War) though distasteful, hence, vomit.
Maybe we should see Brian’s attacker as Terrorists impeding the young American’s goal of embracing the world; striking at will, difficult to identify, difficult to injure, requiring face-to-face understanding of the Terrorists issues to gain resolution.
How about Happy? She is the daughter of Wall Street, the conduit of money and will be the link with baby China Mai.
Got to leave now, but let me know if you find other things along this line about the characters or what you think about my take on this movie…
