I noticed that for the American premiere of BLACKBIRD, the lovers are played by Jeff Daniels (age 51) and Alison Pill (age 21). Is the large difference in age on purpose or not? Are the characters written that way?
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."

I got rid of my teeth at a young age because... I'm straight. Teeth are for gay people. That's why fairies come and get them
