In an interview with Belgian newspaper "Het Laatste Nieuws" in April 2015, Joel Kinnaman said that he had worked on a seventeen-page monologue for three weeks, and when he arrived on set, writer and director Terrence Malick said: "If y'all have something to say, it's not important what y'all say, but I just want a slice of life." Kinnaman said that the script was utterly worthless, and that he had to hire three acting coaches just to decipher it. According to Kinnaman, the dialogue was made for someone out of the 1940s, and that nobody uses such language anymore. There was also no background information at all, and the actors and actresses had to figure it all out by themselves. He wasn't too fond of Christian Bale either. He said that Bale walked off while Kinnaman was delivering his lines at him, shaming him in front of two hundred extras. Kinnaman said that he had never felt so embarrassed in his life. The last straw was when filming a scene, Malick was thirty metres away filming a pink dog instead. That's when Kinnaman said "You know what? Fuck it!" And that was the last they heard of him on the set of the movie.
