Sobre este episodio
In this episode, we are joined by actress, director, and activist, AnnaLynne McCord. We get to chat about her character in the movie “Condition of Return”, how the Uvalde shooting impacted the project, and why we need to take cries for help seriously. She also talks about a time wherein empathy became critical, and why caring for mental health should be started at a young age. [1:55] The Character “You can’t judge the villain if you wanna play them truthfully as an actress… This film was a little too real for my comfort level.” [8:55] Belief Systems “There’s an invitation within these religious themes for you to use your own brain.” [15:14] Acting meets Reality “We went home exhausted after a really emotionally exhausting day… and we turned on the news, and the Uvalde shooting had happened that day.” [18:15] Disconnection “Attaching to this belief system so strongly without exercising any personal autonomy whatsoever, that’s when the danger comes in.” [27:34] Sensationalizing the Shooters “They feel remarkably invisible, and this is the most visible they could be: they’ll be on a news channel… If they can’t be seen in life, perhaps they’ll be seen in death… Take the public out of it; don’t give them that.” [31:36] Take the Signs Seriously “We can assume that these individuals are deeply, deeply in despair… We should be on alert, and we should be aware of that.” [39:51] Empathy “We’re not conditioned to feel our emotions, and we’re not conditioned to hold that container for someone else.” [53:17] Progress “Think about how long we’ve been trying to have mental health not be stigmatized… It’s something that men are talking about more than they ever have.” [58:36] Going to the Root “All the firsts happen early in life… that’s really where it counts.” [1:07:31] Fully Loved Self “People who are using problems for their own benefit, they aren’t happy people either.” [1:20:49] Condition of Return “The heart and intention and foundation of those things that built this film are so pure and so hopeful to be of service to give value, to not just be entertainment, but to be using the platform that we’re given to talk about something that we feel is important.” Follow AnnaLynne on instagram @theannalynnemccord Please download, rate & review this episode and share it with friends!
