, emerged from the trenches of awards season to chat with EW about how audiences should feel at the film’s conclusion, what their craziest awards season experience has been thus far, and who they’re hoping to meet on Sunday.
The film’s ending is a sobering one — in some senses, it’s hopeful with Lance Corporal Schofield completing his mission and getting to pass on the news of Lance Corporal Blake’s death to his brother . But given Blake’s shocking death and the loss of many other lives, it also feels a bit futile. Both Chapman and MacKay feel the ending nails the emotional balance between those two extremes.
“It’s very true of life,” reflects MacKay. “There’s something I found quite peaceful in it — it’s that life just goes on. It’s hopeful because he’s made it through. But it’s also tragic given what the circumstance is, but life just keeps moving. As the film does. It picks up on the move and it ends on the move. And the second after the screen goes black, life will continue. That was quite a peaceful way to end the process of the film actually, to go with that understanding.
For them, it’s been a crazy awards season, with Chapman noting that the only break they’ve had since the film premiered in the U.K. in November was for Christmas. He says the Golden Globes were a double whammy of surreal moments for him. “I wasn’t expecting us to win only because at that time, the film hadn’t come out yet, so for some reason, I just didn’t think we’d win,” he marvels. “That moment when they saidwas really surreal.
