-You can see his big-screen
debut in Christopher Nolan's
fantastic new movie, "Dunkirk."
I saw it the other night.
You are fantastic, my friend.
[ Cheers and applause ]
You were really good.
-Thank you very much.
Thanks.
-And the movie itself
is just --
I didn't know this story
about Dunkirk.
I didn't know that it was --
-Yeah,
it's a pretty crazy story.
I think the thing with it
is there's no --
There's no, like,
crazy back stories
to any of
the characters, really.
I think they're
a relatively blank slate.
And it means,
when you're watching it,
you're kind of
projecting your fear.
You're almost, like,
watching them,
just imagining it as you,
and it's, you know...
I found it very emotional,
and I was in it, so...
-Yeah.
I mean,
from all different angles
and aspects and different jobs,
I got to say,
the cast was fantastic.
-The cast is unbelievable.
-Shout-out to
the casting director.
[ Cheers and applause ]
The casting director
is John Papsidera...
-John Papsidera.
-...who is --
man, oh, man!
I'm telling you, when you see
a movie that has good casting,
I always go,
"That is the greatest."
Because sometimes
you see someone
that just
takes you out of the movie.
This thing, I didn't know.
I just loved
every single person.
I was like...
[ Panting ]
And I saw it
on a 70-millimeter projector.
-You were like what?
-[ Panting ]
I was in labor.
I was in labor through half --
It turns out,
it was the movie of the summer.
-It is.
It really is a summer --
But it's, like, a -- it's a --
You just have to check it out.
I think I would go back
and see it, as well, in IMAX.
-I have to say,
you have to watch it in IMAX.
-Really?
-Yeah, it's crazy.
-The thing I liked about it --
I saw it in 70 millimeter.
And you could hear
the projector going like...
[ Imitates projector whirring ]
-Yeah.
-So that was going...
[ Imitates projector whirring ]
And I was going...
[ Panting ]
-Well, you can hear all the IMAX
cameras when you're filming.
They're quite loud.
-You can.
-[ Imitates camera whirring ]
-Oh, of course,
'cause it's real film.
But, man, oh, man.
Christopher Nolan --
how is he?
Is he just a tricky guy?
-I mean, I'm such a fan of his.
-Yeah, me too.
-And I'm such a fan of so many
people working on this film,
and it just felt like such a...
I felt so lucky to be there,
to be honest.
-Well, what a great story,
and it's moving,
and I just didn't really know
anything about it.
If you see it, it's basically,
what the idea is,
these soldiers
are basically trapped.
-Yeah.
-And the Germans are just
killing them off, bombing them.
So what happens is,
these people who have boats --
fishermen, local people
from England who have --
they drive their own boats
over to save the soldiers.
-Yeah, I think that's
what makes it so...
-That's a little part of it,
though.
-...so nice to watch is,
it's kind of the opposite
to what a traditional kind of
movie set around war is.
Not as being the heroes and kind
of going and saving the day.
It's just
about community, heroism,
and how these small acts
from civilians
and the normal people
who are at home,
coming to save us
kind of together
makes this massive thing.
And I think it's very much about
the spirit of people,
and, you know, how,
when people come together,
you can do incredible things.
[ Cheers and applause ]
