    5: Father Knows Best
    Sep 19 2021
    In the fifth episode of this miniseries, Azeem and Adam are joined (via Zoom) by friend, filmmaker and composer of The Gemini Man Dialogues' music, Tom Sheriff. On the list of topics is the theme of fatherhood in Gemini Man through the prism of Clive Owen's character, Clay Verris. They discuss how Clive Owen's career as an actor adds a meta-textual layer to his character, whilst also touching on the Freudian themes and religious imagery commonly found in Ang Lee films.

    In the third episode, Adam and Azeem discuss the groundbreaking technological achievement of creating a fully CGI, 23 year old Will Smith. Given the audience's familiarity with what the young movie star looked like, it seems like an impossible task - and yet, they succeeded! 
    They cover the extraordinary lengths taken by the VFX team to achieve photorealism, and the on-set practicalities of using stunt doubles and actors to both enhance and preserve Will Smith's performances. Finally, they discuss the future of these innovations, and what the ethical ramifications might be.
