And we’re thinking, don’t take me, don’t take me, take someone else.”
“The reason we don’t have the ability to take responsibility in situations like that is because we are herd animals and we get scared, and when we get scared we get paralyzed. “It’s about the bystander effect,” said Östlund. The voice warns that the animal is trained to sense weakness and fear, so the best defense is to stay very still and hope for the misfortune of others. Soon you will be confronted by a wild animal.” The white-haired donors whisper among themselves excitedly. Guests sit down, the room darkens, and a warning issues from the speakers: “Welcome to the jungle. Ideas started flooding in once he devised the voice-over that begins the gala. If I have these scenes I think I’ve failed a little bit as a director.” “I never want to have any in-between scenes that are only there to tell the plot. “I have not been that interested in storytelling,” said Östlund.

I asked Östlund why he wrote this scene and he replied, cryptically, “You can ask yourself why you do anything.” Though he sort of explained that his mission is to make movies full of interesting, stand-alone scenes that highlight human behavior.

Vulture spoke with Östlund and Notary - who’s been a motion-capture actor and movement coach for the Planet of the Apes movies, plus played Kong in Kong: Skull Island - about how they made the most unnerving, uncomfortable scene of the year.
The Square, which won the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, has finally come out in the States. (Sounds a lot like Hollywood, at least a couple of weeks ago.) And that pivotal “monkey performance” scene is, in essence, Östlund’s thesis about dangers of herd mentality, and how easy it is to ignore other’s pain when you’re focused on self-preservation. The Square centers on your new Danish crush, Claes Bang, as a museum curator who starts losing all sense of civility in the anger and revenge plots that well up after his wallet and phone get stolen. His previous (amazing) film, 2014’s Force Majeure, is about a father and husband who runs off when it looks like an avalanche is coming straight for his family, and then has to continue on a five-day ski vacation with them after everything turns out okay. Police at the time of the attack speculated that a previous bout with Lyme disease may have accounted for the animal?s reported mood swings.Östlund loves nothing more than revealing the base animal instincts that flood to the surface when societal conventions break down. Herold said Travis was acting strangely earlier in the day of the attack so she gave him the anti-anxiety drug Xanax, but later retracted that statement. The chimpanzee was sometimes taken out of his room-sized cage to eat meals sitting at the dinner table with Herold, and occasionally drank wine from a wineglass. He reportedly enjoyed surfing the Internet and could change the channels on the television using a remote control. The 15-year-old ape, killed by cops, had starred in an Old Navy television commercial advertising cargo shorts. Nash said the chimp was usually kept in a cage, but when it had been allowed outside as a baby, years earlier, had ripped the hair from her scalp, causing her to tear up and Herold to laugh at the incident. If she had to rush out or couldn't come home, I fed him," Nash said. "It was her pet that she wanted for a companion. Travis, she said, was Herold's pet and not part of Desire Me Motors, the towing company Herold ran out of her home. "I do remember going to feed him a couple of times," she said. Nash told Oprah that taking care of the ape was not part of her job and she was scared of even being around the animal. The chimp's owner claims that Nash was her employee at the time of the attack and is entitled only to file a workman's compensation claim, which would greatly limit the amount of money she could receive. Nash has filed a civil suit against Herold seeking $50 million in damages for pain and suffering.
I want to be independent but I don't want to be alone anymore," she said. She said she hopes to one day be out of the hospital and more independent. And sometimes other people might insult you." Nash said she wears the veil "so I don't scare people. When outside her hospital room she wears a hat and veil, usually made from a handkerchief attached the brim of a straw hat. I hope she has a good time there," Nash said. "Her prom is coming up and I can't pick out a gown, so I really hope she picks out something appropriate to wear. Among the few regrets she expressed was her inability to help her daughter pick out a prom dress. Among the moments that she relishes is when her daughter crawls in bed with her and they hold each other.
