00:00:55,884 --> 00:00:58,844
Speaker 4: playing up and down the street. Oh yeah, and it

19
00:00:58,884 --> 00:01:01,564
Speaker 4: was yeah, I'm I'm that age seventy is Neil Diamond.

20
00:01:01,564 --> 00:01:04,364
Speaker 4: And I got to see Neil who said Australia to

21
00:01:04,844 --> 00:01:07,124
Speaker 4: this day is one of his favorite places to go.

22
00:01:07,604 --> 00:01:10,084
Speaker 2: I saw this documentary some time ago. I want to

23
00:01:10,124 --> 00:01:11,524
Speaker 2: be I don't want to be one of those hipsters.

24
00:01:11,563 --> 00:01:13,524
Speaker 2: It says, Oh, this should be a movie. But when

25
00:01:13,524 --> 00:01:15,244
Speaker 2: I saw it, I said, this should be a movie.

26
00:01:15,284 --> 00:01:20,923
Speaker 2: So here we are some years later, and wow.

27
00:01:20,164 --> 00:01:21,844
Speaker 3: I saw it. It was it was out on like

28
00:01:21,844 --> 00:01:23,844
Speaker 3: I'm sure it was on Fox Tell or something like that.

29
00:01:23,884 --> 00:01:25,044
Speaker 3: It was a two thousand and eight.

30
00:01:25,324 --> 00:01:27,884
Speaker 2: But this story in itself, and I know, Hugh, you've

31
00:01:27,924 --> 00:01:31,283
Speaker 2: been down the Peter Allen path before, and now you're

32
00:01:31,324 --> 00:01:35,844
Speaker 2: doing it like you're playing an impersonators impersonator, but Kate

33
00:01:35,964 --> 00:01:39,324
Speaker 2: for you. You were just on a TV show and

34
00:01:39,364 --> 00:01:41,404
Speaker 2: the director saw you saying I just want to sing,

35
00:01:41,764 --> 00:01:42,364
Speaker 2: and that was it.

36
00:01:42,404 --> 00:01:43,604
Speaker 3: That's how you got cast for this.

37
00:01:44,644 --> 00:01:47,924
Speaker 5: I think it was Hugh actually, who was watching CBS

38
00:01:48,044 --> 00:01:51,204
Speaker 5: Morning and I had just put an album out, and

39
00:01:51,284 --> 00:01:54,764
Speaker 5: so for me it was I was I was sort

40
00:01:54,804 --> 00:01:59,524
Speaker 5: of sharing with on CBS how I spent so much

41
00:01:59,564 --> 00:02:01,244
Speaker 5: time waiting for it to come to me that I

42
00:02:01,284 --> 00:02:04,324
Speaker 5: had forgotten that I probably needed to just do what

43
00:02:04,404 --> 00:02:07,244
Speaker 5: I loved and put my work, my writing out there,

44
00:02:07,724 --> 00:02:11,564
Speaker 5: and and that was a really scary decision. And Hugh

45
00:02:11,724 --> 00:02:15,603
Speaker 5: saw saw it and sent caled Craig and was like.

46
00:02:15,764 --> 00:02:18,724
Speaker 4: We're going because just as soon as I saw her

47
00:02:18,844 --> 00:02:21,484
Speaker 4: first of all, it's amazing seeing and music's really in

48
00:02:21,524 --> 00:02:26,004
Speaker 4: your soul. You're really a muso, you know. I love it.

49
00:02:25,483 --> 00:02:28,323
Speaker 1: Fat. The story of Mike and Claire is just so

50
00:02:28,404 --> 00:02:33,604
Speaker 1: beautiful and extraordinary, sort of tribute performers who aim high,

51
00:02:33,844 --> 00:02:36,644
Speaker 1: but if you scratch the surface of small town America

52
00:02:36,724 --> 00:02:41,164
Speaker 1: or Australia anywhere, these are the heartwarming stories where success

53
00:02:41,204 --> 00:02:44,323
Speaker 1: isn't always about being number one, It's about love and

54
00:02:44,324 --> 00:02:45,244
Speaker 1: doing what you love.

55
00:02:45,644 --> 00:02:48,964
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, like Kate and I was saying today,

56
00:02:49,004 --> 00:02:51,763
Speaker 4: it's like a love letter to tip jar musicians around

57
00:02:51,764 --> 00:02:56,644
Speaker 4: the world and change musicians to artists who doesn't matter cricketers.

58
00:02:56,724 --> 00:02:59,684
Speaker 4: It's like people just who love to do it. And

59
00:02:59,724 --> 00:03:01,844
Speaker 4: Mike is really good. Michae and Claire were really good.

60
00:03:01,884 --> 00:03:05,204
Speaker 4: They did open for Pearl Jam. I mean there, but

61
00:03:05,404 --> 00:03:09,244
Speaker 4: it just didn't just because they not Pearl Jam. I mean,

62
00:03:09,284 --> 00:03:12,243
Speaker 4: they're not a great story successful.

63
00:03:12,803 --> 00:03:14,244
Speaker 3: I like how he says in the movie What's a

64
00:03:14,284 --> 00:03:15,084
Speaker 3: Pearl Jam?

65
00:03:18,244 --> 00:03:21,004
Speaker 4: It's such a great moment and all of it happened,

66
00:03:21,004 --> 00:03:22,404
Speaker 4: and people are going to watch the movie and I

67
00:03:22,483 --> 00:03:25,284
Speaker 4: just want to be somehow inside every cinema to go no, no,

68
00:03:25,404 --> 00:03:29,284
Speaker 4: that really happened. Yeah, I can hear in Australia come

69
00:03:29,324 --> 00:03:31,843
Speaker 4: on mate, come on now, that's too come on.

70
00:03:32,163 --> 00:03:34,844
Speaker 2: Well it particularly Kate how your character gets hit by

71
00:03:34,844 --> 00:03:38,884
Speaker 2: a car spoiler, but it was, you know, that's that's

72
00:03:38,924 --> 00:03:42,084
Speaker 2: the point of That's what I felt, really so like,

73
00:03:42,204 --> 00:03:44,764
Speaker 2: it's such a good homage to what the documentary was.

74
00:03:45,244 --> 00:03:46,404
Speaker 3: It's such a great story.

75
00:03:46,644 --> 00:03:50,204
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, there, you know she there's so much

76
00:03:50,363 --> 00:03:54,083
Speaker 5: tragedy in this story, which I think is unexpected, but

77
00:03:54,204 --> 00:03:57,004
Speaker 5: how they get through it and what brings them through it,

78
00:03:57,484 --> 00:04:02,444
Speaker 5: and the amazing performance of Ella Anderson who plays Rachel

79
00:04:02,724 --> 00:04:05,964
Speaker 5: and sort of being this like rock throughout this story

80
00:04:06,604 --> 00:04:08,803
Speaker 5: and during that time when sort of the movie goes

81
00:04:08,964 --> 00:04:12,564
Speaker 5: into this different kind of direction, and how they come

82
00:04:12,684 --> 00:04:18,563
Speaker 5: out of it, you know, is just like a very unexpected,

83
00:04:18,724 --> 00:04:23,884
Speaker 5: inspiring feeling and story. And yeah, I mean it's definitely

84
00:04:23,884 --> 00:04:25,284
Speaker 5: not where you think it's going to come.

85
00:04:27,164 --> 00:04:29,363
Speaker 1: You know, I had this, but I've come across this

86
00:04:29,444 --> 00:04:30,844
Speaker 1: great wood and I use it all the time, and

87
00:04:30,884 --> 00:04:35,044
Speaker 1: it's sonder, which means the knowledge that everyone is living

88
00:04:35,044 --> 00:04:38,004
Speaker 1: a complicated life, and we all are, and movies like

89
00:04:38,084 --> 00:04:41,044
Speaker 1: this just reminds you of the lives that everyone has

90
00:04:41,084 --> 00:04:42,804
Speaker 1: in their lives, goodbad, everything.

91
00:04:43,484 --> 00:04:47,004
Speaker 5: I always wonder why everybody is so shocked with tragedy

92
00:04:47,004 --> 00:04:51,284
Speaker 5: because tragedy is eminent. We all experience tragedy in some way,

93
00:04:51,564 --> 00:04:54,044
Speaker 5: in somehow, at some point in our life, and we

94
00:04:54,124 --> 00:04:57,444
Speaker 5: spend so much time trying to get away from it

95
00:04:57,564 --> 00:05:00,684
Speaker 5: or fear it that we forget the joy is actually

96
00:05:00,764 --> 00:05:04,444
Speaker 5: the hardest thing to come by. And I think there's

97
00:05:04,484 --> 00:05:07,924
Speaker 5: this thing about this film where you see these people

98
00:05:08,004 --> 00:05:11,924
Speaker 5: going through it, but they find that the spirit of

99
00:05:12,084 --> 00:05:16,724
Speaker 5: like love and togetherness and and to power through and

100
00:05:16,764 --> 00:05:19,404
Speaker 5: the grit that they have to power through something to

101
00:05:19,444 --> 00:05:20,724
Speaker 5: get to the other side.

102
00:05:21,404 --> 00:05:22,004
Speaker 3: And it just.

103
00:05:21,924 --> 00:05:26,564
Speaker 5: Reminds us that that is like every person's experience in

104
00:05:26,604 --> 00:05:29,404
Speaker 5: their life. Everybody has had that or moved through that

105
00:05:29,444 --> 00:05:30,044
Speaker 5: in some way.

106
00:05:30,604 --> 00:05:33,124
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the and the true joy is Hugh, you're

107
00:05:33,164 --> 00:05:36,363
Speaker 2: just rocking that Neil diamond hairdo you know that is

108
00:05:36,564 --> 00:05:38,564
Speaker 2: just extraordinary?

109
00:05:38,724 --> 00:05:38,924
Speaker 3: Yeah?

110
00:05:39,644 --> 00:05:42,684
Speaker 4: Every day I got to put that on. Hey, it's

111
00:05:42,724 --> 00:05:48,884
Speaker 4: not you, unfortunately not, but I'm getting extensions tomorrow.

112
00:05:51,524 --> 00:05:51,604
Speaker 2: That.

113
00:05:51,724 --> 00:05:53,884
Speaker 4: Actually, I still when I see the movie, there's that

114
00:05:53,964 --> 00:05:57,204
Speaker 4: point where he changes his head look more Neil. It

115
00:05:57,284 --> 00:06:01,204
Speaker 4: just makes me laugh every time because Mike just thinks

116
00:06:01,244 --> 00:06:06,924
Speaker 4: it's the greatest thing ever. Know that, and the leaf Blowers.

117
