00:05It's the final dialogue that gives the film that added dynamic, as and when you may need

01:30first movie?

01:32I love that he took it and just expanded it, making something which is so extraordinary.

01:40Music is a statement.

01:41It's a sound statement.

01:42And I think they're going to love it.

01:44What is the dream of Rome?

01:45For people who are not free.
