“Most of this movie, they’re looking towards the weather,” Powell told EW.
That is what brings them together.

DirectorLee Isaac Chungexplained the creative decision to forgo the kiss.
Chung said that after reviewing the two options, the no-kiss ending was his clear favorite.
“I think it’s a better ending,” he said.

I think there’s something really wonderful about it feeling like there’s a continuation.”
Powell agreed: “It is a good Spielberg note.
It’s why that kid is still in this game.
It’s amazing.”
