While talking to the stars we ask about the grittiness and realism of a project, particularly in the context of the Western genre. They discuss the authenticity of their characters, the challenges of portraying historical figures with differing views of right and wrong, and how they engaged with the harsh elements of the time period. From makeup that emphasized realism to the raw, unforgiving environment that mirrored their characters’ inner turmoil, the conversation touches on the immersive nature of the production and the significant educational journey it represented.
