So there is no technology from after he passed away. But for me, I felt like Will, when he died, he got imprisoned in this time. And then I gave some kind of motif to that because I knew, visually, it would be more interesting. And I knew it would be weird to see this very nostalgic world being represented by iPads and Macintoshes, or stuff like that. So choosing VHS would have this nostalgic feeling, as I would see in the VHS and also the tube TVs.
For me, it was just part of what represents the past. It’s interesting because I grew up with VHS. Why did you choose VHS tapes and old TVs to capture this? And it invoked in nostalgic feeling in me. It begins with a beautiful succession of vignettes and faded memories of Amanda’s life.
It came more from my need to write rather than just a result oriented action.Ī need to create, which also resonates with the film’s themes. For me, it was more like I wanted to write something that felt personal, but there’s no pretension in terms of how this movie has to answer this or that question for me. It’s interesting because I didn’t go that far, trying to find the meaning. When writing Nine Days, was there a certain part of the world you wanted to find meaning in? On the eve of Nine Days‘ release, I had the opportunity to speak with Oda about the inspiration behind its metaphysical story, working with Duke and his fellow Marvel actors, Wong, Beetz, and Skarsgård, the “surrealness” of collaborating with Jonze, his filmmaking inspirations, and more. In fact, the talent behind Nine Days is immense, with a supporting cast including Benedict Wong, Zazie Beetz, Tony Hale, and Bill Skarsgård, serving as a testament to Oda’s strong script. Equal parts visually dazzling and auditorily enhancing, the film is fittingly executive produced by one of Oda’s main filmmaking inspirations, Spike Jonze, and boasts the same re-recording mixer as A Quiet Place and A Quiet Place Part II, Brandon Proctor. Brazilian native Edson Oda’s feature directorial debut, Nine Days, is about a man’s (Winston Duke) soulful search for the meaning of life, death, and their place among a harsh, unforgiving world.
