Taylor Swift Revealed An Easter Egg We Never Noticed In The "All Too Well" Short Film
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Yesterday, I got to witness Taylor Swift talk to director Mike Mills at the Tribeca Film Festival for an in-depth Q&A about All Too Well: The Short Film.
Taylor talked about the film's conception, what directing was like for her, and one Easter egg that kinda went under the radar.
When talking about the character "Her," Taylor talked about how she wanted to convey that the character in the film was a writer.
"Sadie's character is a writer. It’s foreshadowed throughout. It’s one of the narrative devices I loved sprinkling through the film," Taylor said.
"We start out with a Neruda quote, which absolutely destroyed me. It’s a violent thing to read something so poignant.”
“So, we start with that. It references the fact that she is a writer. Then, we see this scene that foreshadows her. She says [to him], ‘Are you real? I feel like I made you up.’ It foreshadows the fact that she will one day write a book and she will fictionalize his character into a main character in her novel.”
“The audience has chills,” Mike said to Taylor, as audible “Oooohs” were heard. But then Taylor talked about the typewriter Easter egg, which hasn't been super dissected online yet.
"There’s this red typewriter," she said. "If you look really closely, when we’re following her really closely through the hallway with a steadicam, and we meet Him for the first time, we pan across a red typewriter."
Taylor talking about the typewriter LIKE HER MIND. It just constantly blows my mind how great she is at narratives and she really needs to direct more films. She puts so much attention to details 👏🏻 #TaylorAtTribeca #Tribeca2022
