speaker_0HOST
a western yeah with cars
speaker_1HOST
Yeah, interestingly, Hills also said that the major visual influence on the movie, and it does look great, was the work of artist Edward Hopper as well.
speaker_1HOST
And that's sort of like the night flight thing in the bar.
speaker_1HOST
So I get that.
TeresaHOST
Yeah.
TeresaHOST
Um, Edward Hopper, one of my favorite painters of all time, did that.
TeresaHOST
I have a whole book of his work and it breaks down.
TeresaHOST
Each chapter starts with one of his most famous paintings and then it shows you all of his studies and his sketchbook notes.
TimHOST
They remade the famous painting.
TimHOST
It's Edward Hopper's Nighthawks.
DeanHOST
Yes, of course.

Alain de BottonNARRATOR
In a world in which everyone can achieve whatever they deserve, why do we not have more? If success is merited, why do we remain mediocre? The psychological burden of a so-called ordinary life has become hugely harder, even as its material advantages have become ever more available.
Alain de BottonNARRATOR
Modernity has, in a practical sense, connected us to other people like never before, but it has also left us emotionally bereft, perhaps late at night, on our own, in a corner of a diner, like a figure in an Edward Hopper painting.
Alain de BottonNARRATOR
The belief that we deserve one special person has rendered all our relationships unnecessarily difficult.
Alain de BottonNARRATOR
The first question we are asked in every new social encounter is, what do you do? And we know how much an impressive answer will matter.
Nash KeuneHOST
Some of them are cool and good, but, I mean, we live in this world, so most of them are wretched.
Nash KeuneHOST
Like how Ed Hopper talks, you know, the true believers so often feel themselves to be broken vessels, and they can't fix the crack in the bottom of their carriage.
Nash KeuneHOST
Maybe it's a hairline crack, they can't even tell where it is.
Nash KeuneHOST
But ideologies like fascism promise wholeness.
Tommy MischkeHOST
Now, you owe it to your family to place them in the newly built development there, Cloneville, because, well, that house has running water, and it isn't sagging to one side.
Tommy MischkeHOST
But for pure beauty, that rotting 100-plus-year-old farmhouse sitting alone in a field... looking like an Edward Hopper painting, the setting sunlight illuminating one side of it, weeds swaying gracefully at its base.
Tommy MischkeHOST
Well, that is in such bad shape, it's almost in good shape.
Tommy MischkeHOST
It's so gone, it's idyllic.
Michael YoungGUEST
Um, just any, any, any small detail that kinda jumps out at me.
Michael YoungGUEST
I'm a, I'm a, I'm a big, um, Edward Hopper fan.
Tim BinghamHOST
Okay, cool.
Tim BinghamHOST
Yeah.
Michael YoungGUEST
I mean, um, so, so I remember, like, even with doing that project, um, it became less about looking for, um, something dramatic, but just trying to find beauty in, in, like, just the small things in life.
Tim BinghamHOST
Yeah.
Michael YoungGUEST
And again, um, when I look at the work, the paintings of Edward Hopper, right, they, th- for me they communicate that beauty in, in the subtleties.
Michael YoungGUEST
So you know, I'm always trying, again, to, to kind of like find the balance between seeing something big but looking for really the small things.
EmilyNARRATOR
From the living room, Elise calls, "Adam, come see this.
EmilyNARRATOR
There's a documentary on Hopper.
EmilyNARRATOR
You'll love it." Her voice is normal, almost cheerful.
EmilyNARRATOR
I think, "What is there left to love?" I walk into the room, sit beside her, shoulder to shoulder, the fiction still alive for a beat longer.
EmilyNARRATOR
You weren't going to tell me any other way." We sit in a silence that's bloodless.
EmilyNARRATOR
Then she reaches for the remote, pausing the film mid-scene.
EmilyNARRATOR
The Hopper painting freezes in a wash of deserted light.
EmilyNARRATOR
She licks her lips once, twice, like she's about to read lines she's practiced.
Tim WicksGUEST
So that helped to sort of exacerbate this phenomenon of the isolated separate individual artists making separate individual progress in their artists, in their art, and oftentimes it does actually lead to individual excellence.
Tim WicksGUEST
We have many great European-style artists, Michelangelo, Leonardo, Giotto, Rafael, Caravaggio, and for us in the United States, Edward Hopper is one of my favorites, Georgia O'Keeffe, Jackson Pollock, my favorite painter of all, it's a secret, but I'm going to tell you guys, is Francis Bacon, and I'm addicted to Francis Bacon.
Tim WicksGUEST
I've been trying to kick that habit for 35 years, and I keep coming back to him.
Tim WicksGUEST
So European art is based in the market.
Emily WilsonHOST
Donna ended up at Compton's Cafeteria at Turk and Taylor.
Emily WilsonHOST
It reminded her of the famous Edward Hopper painting of a diner, Nighthawks.
Donna PersonnaGUEST
I sat with these beautiful ladies.
Donna PersonnaGUEST
They were gorgeous.
