0:00:00.594,0:00:02.160
I'm Stefano Sollima,

0:00:02.160,0:00:06.112
and I'm the director of[br]"Sicario: Day of the Soldado."

0:00:08.912,0:00:13.130
This scene is the main[br]moment in which

0:00:13.130,0:00:16.210
we see something[br]changing in Alejandro,

0:00:16.210,0:00:19.560
played by[br]Benicio Del Toro.

0:00:19.560,0:00:25.980
It's a sort of reminder[br]of his past, of his loss,

0:00:25.980,0:00:33.390
of his family that was killed,[br]of his own daughter.

0:00:33.390,0:00:37.340
And then, of course,[br]having Isabel next to him

0:00:37.340,0:00:45.805
during this reminiscence plays[br]a key role in their relationship.

0:00:45.893,0:00:50.020
And this is sort of[br]a switch of emotion.

0:00:50.020,0:00:53.840
Because until now,[br]Isabel has only

0:00:53.840,0:01:00.180
being a sort of pawn[br]in Alejandro's hand

0:01:00.180,0:01:04.879
to win this dirty war,[br]to get his vengeance.

0:01:04.879,0:01:06.620
I feel interested [br]in this scene,

0:01:06.620,0:01:09.920
because it's the[br]first scene ever

0:01:09.920,0:01:15.410
where we introduce[br]a skill of Alejandro

0:01:15.410,0:01:18.020
that has nothing to do[br]with his vengeance.

0:01:18.020,0:01:22.100
I felt it was important[br]to bring down the volume

0:01:22.100,0:01:23.780
after one of the biggest action[br]set pieces in the movie.

0:01:26.150,0:01:30.630
I felt that there was a big[br]need of a quieter moment.

0:01:30.630,0:01:34.880
Because by listening to [br]the silence in this sequence,

0:01:34.880,0:01:38.630
and feeling the humanity[br]and the normal life

0:01:38.630,0:01:44.360
of this deaf, mute man,[br]we are able to put

0:01:44.360,0:01:49.220
the loudness and the violence[br]of the action a bit in perspective.

0:02:07.560,0:02:10.560
In the original[br]script, it was spoken.

0:02:10.560,0:02:14.730
And it was Benicio's idea[br]to change it into sign language exchange.

0:02:19.350,0:02:21.510
I think it's really smart.

0:02:21.510,0:02:26.700
Because in this way, we create[br]an immediate bond between the two guys.
