'The Report' hits Amazon Prime today — how the new Adam Driver movie about the investigation into the CIA's torture program turns political thrillers inside out
The idea to go to him came from Steven Soderbergh, who worked with him onand had said that there was absolutely nothing that guy does that ever gets close to boring. You watch Adam do anything, and his face and his eyes are just so alive. And he has a rare gift that some other people from Juilliard also share — someone like Oscar Isaac, for example — [in which] they’re just as good at listening as they are at speaking in a scene.
What I hope we do is show three things. One that these techniques don’t work. Two, it’s not who our country claims to be, it’s not who I thought we were and it’s not who I want us to be. And three, that the process by which this report came out was really difficult and brutal. I think the audience can interpret it either way. Either the system worked because we got 500 pages out or the system is flawed because there’s 6,300 pages that remain classified.Zero Dark Thirty,Exactly.
There are some negative depictions of Obama and his administration in the movie. Did that feel like violating a pop-cultural taboo of some kind? I voted for Barack Obama twice and I’m glad I was able to do that. I think he was a remarkable leader. But that doesn’t mean he was perfect. And the fact that nobody was held accountable for all of this and that his decision was, in his own words, to turn the page speaks to a lack of accountability in government that we are still suffering from to this day. I don’t know if it is or isn’t a taboo amongst some people.
But one of my favorite parts of the story is that the [anti-torture] law that is finally passed is through a McCain-Feinstein bill or amendment. And so there was a moment in time, not so long ago, when people were able to reach across the aisle and say this isn’t who we are, we need to work together to solve this problem. And that to me is what is hopeful in this movie, that we can find common ground to solve some really fundamental issues.
