Shawn Levy Exposes the “Heartbreaking” Feelings Over the Timely Release of ‘All the Light We Cannot See&#8217;

From the likes of Deadpool and Free Guy, Shawn Levy recently took an enormous
shift in his direction with Netflix’s All the Light We Cannot See. The Stranger
Things [http://netflixjunkie.com/tag/stranger-things/] producer created a
beautiful series showcasing the mysteries of World War 2 with a new actress,
Aria Mia Loberti, alongside a brilliant star, Mark Ruffalo, and others. Based on
a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, the war series has a close resemblance to the
current happenings of the real world.

Amidst the series’ attempt to empathize with the World War 2 victims, the
Canadian director revealed his feelings about the timing of its release.


SHAWN LEVY EXPRESSED GRATITUDE FOR THE TIMELY RELEASE OF ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT
SEE

During his talk with Yahoo Canada
[https://ca.news.yahoo.com/netflix-all-the-light-we-cannot-see-shawn-levy-191012553.html],
the director acknowledged the timely and significant themes of humanity,
empathy, and seeing people as individuals and how these themes felt resonant
while filming in Budapest during the Ukraine conflict. Further, with the ongoing
Israel-Palestine conflict, these themes still stand strong. While Levy finds the
happenings of the Middle East “heartbreaking,” he shared how he is also
“grateful” that the show released now.



The cast and crew of the Netflix Original were filming the series in Budapest
during the crisis in Ukraine. Filming there brought out the overwhelming effects
of the themes, as Levy admitted. And now, the current situation in the Middle
East deepened the darkness in the world. Acknowledging that Levy revealed, it
would have been easy to sink into sadness, hopelessness, and heartbreak.
However, as the show represented and Shawn Levy also admitted, “We have to cling
to humanism and hope.”

The 55-year-old director did not expect the show to be as topical as it was.
However, he seemed to be satisfied with its connection to the present global
situation. However, what is the news Netflix original about?


ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE DEPICTS THE THEME OF HOPE AMIDST DESTRUCTION

Through the main characters, Marie-Laure LeBlanc and Werner Pfennig, the
thrilling drama depicts the chaotic situations of World War 2. Marie-Laure,
separated from her father and Uncle Etienne, a Resistance member, desperately
clings on to hope. After the disappearance of her father, she faces the Gestapo,
who violently tries to get information about a specific jewel from her.

Meanwhile, Werner Pfennig, who, against his will, was forced to work with the
soldiers. Hunger, death of humanity, lust, destruction, greed, arrogance, and
hopelessness were at their peak throughout the show. However, the professor’s
words unexpectedly helped Pfennig and Marie-Laure save themselves and others.
Although it was the light that both of them saw and felt individually, it got
them collective peace. Indeed, the show has been getting well-deserved praise
from netizens.
