Brody went on to acknowledge the personal history between himself and his character.
Its been a long journey and a beautiful one and an artistic path.
Ive been working very hard for the past 22 years, but nothing quite connected on this level.
Im so conscious of that.
The actor continued, referencing his heritage.
My grandparents struggles and their loss and their resilience have paved the way for my own good fortune.
And I have an opportunity to honor them in this film.
