My wife's an architect, so she definitely has a very high-risk artistic profession, and she gets the idea that you're really sensitive, you really care what people think, you have a low threshold for criticism.
As far as I can tell, 1968 is a year about change, about revolution, about violence, about people turning inwards as community breaks down.
That's the miracle of telling a story in film: You can express something inside someone's mind.
The show is not a history lesson or intellectual exploration. It is entertainment based on tension, irony and storytelling that is closely related to today’s life.
