“I’ve had a lot of experiences of seeing people try to figure out [where they know me from] on the street. Depending on what their face does, I often know.”
Tyler James Williams appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
Craig and Neil were absolutely insane for having Joel, having just learned his bother is going to be a father, leave and see an adult woman in the crowd who looks just like his daughter, and for a moment seeing how she could have grown up, and then seeing that woman go up to her own daughter, because if Sarah had lived she would have been in her mid 30s, and Joel could have been a grandfather.
and for a moment, just a moment, you can see the look on Joel’s face where he forgets its not Sarah
We thought it was important to show that Joel missed her. That he’s mourning her. In his very simple way, just making a small cairn of rocks to say quietly ”I’m sorry, I blew it. I lost you”. It was important for us to show that he cared. (Craig Mazin)
joel saying he isn’t ellie’s father and that she isn’t his daughter and then immediately backtracking, and then ellie not even letting him finish his sentence and going with him anyway. something about fathers hurting you the most and loving you the hardest, huh.
