In the series 'Anatomy of a Scene,' director Gavin O'Connor discusses a key scene in 'The Accountant 2' featuring Ben Affleck. The scene highlights Affleck's character, an autistic C.P.A., engaging in line dancing to showcase his quick mathematical calculations while deepening his bond with his brother. O'Connor aimed to divert from plot advancement to focus on character interaction and development. He emphasized the importance of authenticity in the dance, with choreography tailored to reflect the character's uniqueness rather than aiming for perfection.
"We wanted to abandon the plot and just make a hard left turn and go spend time with the brothers in a social environment to deepen their relationship."
"Christian didn't have to be great. He just had to do it. So it was never important that he lit the place on fire."
