Past simple

>> James: THAT WAS A CLIP FROM BLISS WHICH IS ON AMAZON PRIME

NOW THIS IS A MOVIE THAT REALLY COULD BE INTERPRETED IN MANY

AND THIS IS NOT THE EASIEST ONE TO DESCRIBE.

SO I AM GOING TO ASK WHAT IS IT ABOUT, AND WHO DO YOU PLAY, WHO

WOULD LIKE TO TRY AND TELL ME WHAT IT IS ABOUT.

>> YEAH, CAN I, I PLAY A CHARACTER THAT IS SORT OF, HE'S

REALLY KIND OF STRUGGLING WITH ADDICTION AND DEMONS AND NOT A

GREAT LIFE AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THIS WOMAN COMES IN AND SAYS

DON'T WORRY ABOUT A THING BECAUSE IT'S ALL JUST A

SIMULATION AND YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW ATTRACTIVE THAT WOULD BE TO

HEAR THAT IDEA THAT ALL OF THESE MISTAKES AREN'T REALLY REAL AND

BUT MY BROTHER JUST HEARD SALMA ON NPR AND HE IS LIKE GOD,

SOMEONE REALLY DESCRIBED THE MOVIE IN A GREAT WAY SO I'M SURE

>> YES, MY CHARACTER IS A SCIENTIST THAT LIVES IN A BLISS

WORLD, IN THE FUTURE FROM NOW WHERE EVERYTHING IS PERFECT AND

BEAUTIFUL BUT EVERYBODY HAS LOST THE APPRECIATION FOR WHAT WE

SO SHE INVENTS A MACHINE THAT CREATES A SIMULATION WHERE WE

CAN GO AND EXPERIENCE CHALLENGES AND DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES THAT

ARE GOING TO MAKE US COME BACK AND APPRECIATE THE BEAUTY AND

EVERYTHING THAT WE LEARNED TO TAKE FOR GRANTED SO FAST.

SO HE IS MY SOUL MATE AND I GO AND I FIND HIM THERE BUT HE HAS

KIND OF FORGOTTEN THAT HE COMES FROM SOMEWHERE ELSE.

SO IT IS OUR JOURNEY INTO NAVIGATING THESE TWO REALITIES.

>> James: NOW WE TALKED ABOUT THIS STIM SIMULATION THING ON

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS, SALMA, LIKE DO YOU THINK ANY OF US ARE

>> YEAH, I SAW A FRIEND AND ON THEIR WATER BOTTLE THEY HAD THIS

LITTLE SORT OF BUMPER STICKER ON THERE THAT SAYS RELAX, IT'S JUST

AND YOU KNOW, ASIDE FROM THAT BEING KIND OF A COMFORTING THING

I MEAN HI NEVER EVEN HEARD ABOUT THAT IDEA THAT WE ARE LIVING IN

A LIMB SLAITION UNTIL A FEW YEARS AGO WHEN I FEEL LIKE ELON

MUSK SAID SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THE

BUT SINCE HEARING THAT, YOU KNOW, WHO KNOWS, IS IT SO CRAZY

>> THE THING IS THAT IT IS OUR REALITY TODAY.

AND IT IS OUR REALITY EVEN IF IT IS A SIMULATION, I DON'T KNOW IF

IT SAY SIMULATION, AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED THIS IS MY LIFE.

>> James: NEIL DEGRASSE TYSON WAS ON THE SHOW AND HE ONCE SAID

ANTS IN AN ANT FARM DON'T KNOW THAT THEY ARE IN AN ANT FARM.

THEY THINK THAT ANT FARM IS THE ENTIRE WORLD.

>> YES, THAT IS-- I THINK CHICKENS ON A RANCH, THEY DON'T

>> James: THEY DON'T KNOW THE JOY THEY ARE BRINGING YOU.
