@@o.b.7217 The first clue is that the ambient sound coming from the theater, like you would hear during other applause breaks, is missing. The canned applause they used in that moment, lacking any room or ambient sound, was clearly recorded in a studio, not the Ed Sullivan Theater. Secondly, Stephen's dialogue coming in at the end of that applause wasn't at a level that would've been heard above it, if that applause were in the same room as he was; this is because there was no applause there during his speech in the moment; it was added in post, and the volume level controlled. It's not the first time this show has used that, and certainly canned applause and laughter is used on all kinds of shows. I was just wondering why they needed to cover that moment with it. Did the audience not react outwardly very much? Was there some convo there that they took out for time, or...?

Do you have any recommendations or tips on how to find these kinds of communities and build those sorts of relationships, esp with leftist strength and activism? I’m personally struggling to meet people, and especially want to be with people who care about these things, who can support each other (and I’m surrounded by complacent masculinity, rather than loving).

As a Canadian woman in her 40s I grew up watching Sarah Polley, she is a National treasure, and that pic they showed of her as a kid is from an amazing Christmas movie

The first time I heard that phrase “run towards the danger” was by my drill sergeant back in 1980. Coming from the public school system in PR my English was worse than bad at best. So I asked for an explanation, in that face of my life was more like volunteer, don’t be afraid to clean a toilet or answer the phone. So to him running towards the danger meant to have a chance in life to learn how to do or not to do anything and everything in life. That little sergeant from Hawaii change my life for ever.

Sarah was a child actor star in Canada, then a compelling actor as an adult in some great films like The Sweet Hereafter, which won the Grand Prix at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival and received two Academy Award nominations, then left acting to direct and write, including a documentary that revealed that the man she thought was her father (also an actor) was not - she was the child of a director who had an affair with her mother. As a child she was precocious; as an adult she shows her intelligence and insight in her work and how she conducts herself.

I'd rush home from school to try not to miss the beginning of each episode! I'd already read all of the books and liked seeing parts of the books acted out in the show. I totally understood why she made a toothpaste birthday cake in the sink and why she went to school in her pajamas, even though adults could never understand. And the episode when their mom makes tongue for dinner and Ramona plays with the chicken skin that Beezus is afraid of... 😆! I also still have my old behind-the-scenes book about the TV show, along with my other Ramona books. I read those things so much they're full of creases!

I grew up watching her in Road to Avonlee! I loved her as a kid! She was a real role model as a teenager too.

The "run towards the light" comment totally applied to my hyperacusis situation. "Run to the sound!" I was starving my ears because I was blocking out noise after ear trauma. I worked through the discomfort with sound therapy and meditation.

Sarah Polley is amazing and a personal idol. Love your work and thank you for changing my world for the better.

What I LOVE about "Women Talking" is that nothing goes "Boom!"; there are no fight scenes or car chases; no gunshots! Imagine that? No gunshots in a movie. Quite refreshing even though the subject matter deals with themes of sexual violence and rebellion against that violence. It's the finest film I've seen in decades.

This was so much fun to see! I just finished Run Towards the Danger this morning. Excellent memoir.

That is so enlightened! Lean into what feels like the most challenging things. I feel like I'm always in recovery from very severe PTSD. I withdrew & sheltered myself from humanity. Its just all so much! But avoidance becomes habit & it gets harder & harder to take life.

Just keep swimming and smiling.... This is what I've been doing for a few years now. I love the way that doctor told it to her though, "run toward the danger." After all the trauma, ptsd, and loss that I have endured from several different sources in these past few years, I just keep pushing forward. When it comes to the head trauma from a severe car crash (a lady failed to stop at her stop sign) I think I may yet be unwilling to admit to myself that it may have affected my brain. Because when she listed off her symptoms I was like "hmm, that sounds like me."

I love Sarah Polley so much. Wish it could have been longer!

I love Sarah Polly. She was the star of one of the best movies ever made: The Sweet Hereafter. The film itself by Atom Egoyan is a profound movie in its subtlety and horror. It somehow manages to be a beautiful piece of art that is deeply emotional on so many levels. And her VO in the film adds so much weight to it, including her singing voice for the song "Courage". Ian Holm is also profound in the film. ( I just have to include here that The Sweet Hereafter and Barton Fink are two of the most unrecognized brilliant films ever made.) Anyhow, I love women and I love women talking. If you've ever gotten to be the one guy in a group of women talking it can be a profound experience. It can be very different than a group of men talking. Once you get beneath the surface chatter that is. So, I am excited to see this film. Because of my immense appreciation for Sarah Polley and Frances McDormand. kzread.info/dash/bejne/h2ujs5tsd725qM4.html

The Sweet Hereafter is one of greatest movies - one of the saddest and one of the deepest and most brilliant pieces of filmmaking.

She was also in Atom's earlier movie Exotica, a great film in it's own right...

Yes Sarah!!! You are doing awesome!!! I'm so glad she was on the show with Stephen, what a great interview. So glad to see she is doing well.

Always will think of her As Sarah Stanley on "Road to Avonlea." She is delightful.

Sarah Polley is a genius. A completely underrated voice in film.
