Rian Johnson<\/strong>: Well yeah, you’re right. It does. I think that’s part of the thing about the pressure of science fiction and time-travel movies. It always seemed to ask these big moral questions. They’re just very good at making you confront questions like that. I guess my answer to that would be the movie itself. I can’t articulate better to some of those than I did in the movie.<\/p>\n Joseph Gordon-Levitt<\/strong>: I guess one answer I could give is I think violence begits violence. I don’t think it solves any sort of conflict with violence because nothing ever ends up solved that way.<\/p>\n Rian Johnson<\/strong>: That’s a big part of the movie, the notion of this thing you see in action movies but that you unfortunately also in real life. The notion to solve a problem by finding the right person and killing them. The very tale of the movie “Looper,” the notion that that kind of thinking creates a self perpetual igloo and what can we do to break that? These are some of the things that we hopefully wrestled with a little bit in the movie.<\/p>\n Are either of you science nerds and did you have any difficulty wrapping your brain around the concepts of this movie?<\/strong><\/p>\n Emily Blunt<\/strong>: I’m definitely not science nerdy. It’s not my fort\u00e9. [laughs] But I read about thirteen pages of the script and I was already going to my agent. I was like ‘Get me into this movie!’ because I loved it so much. I read through it a few times so I had a fairly intelligent idea of it conceptually.<\/p>\n To Emily Blunt; what exactly drew you to this role and what’s the attraction with playing a more mysterious character like this one in Looper?<\/strong><\/p>\n Emily Blunt<\/strong>: To be honest I think you… it’s the same for a lot of actresses. You look for the female roles that aren’t objectified, that aren’t simplified. And this character had such a singular voice. This character had such a singular voice and she had a really rich past in which we delve into. She’s a really tough cookie. Tough nut to crack. And I enjoy the nuances and the complexity of that part. It was a challenge to me and I do look for that. I try to mix it up as much as possible. I’m really looking for roles that have me ask the question ‘Oh my God how am I going to do this?’ That’s what I aspire to do every time I take on a new role.<\/p>\n
