Before the clip, Garfield and “Modern Love” host Anna Martin were discussing Garfield’s new movie, “We Live in Time,” which led to a discussion of life’s big ideas. Then he began reading the essay, “Learning to Measure Time in Love and Loss,” by Chris Huntington, which led to an emotional moment.
Garfield spoke to the power of art to make us feel
When Martin asked Garfield what struck him most about that part of the story, he initially said he didn’t know, that it was “a miracle.”
“This is why art is so important,” he said. “Because it can take us to places we can’t get to any other way.”
Then he continued. “It’s important. It’s important, as we’ve been talking about it. And it’s a longing for more. It’s like we all live, we all go through so much that we need to know, with longing too much.”
After the clip, he added, “I’m sorry. I’m sad. I’m sad to lose anyone. I’m sad to lose anything. I’m sad to I’m sad about losing my mother, and I’m sad about losing my father…but sadness is longing and there’s no shame.
But even as he expressed all these feelings, he shared that he could feel a pull within him to put a “modern tab on these very pure feelings,” and that saddened him too. . “There’s a part of me that’s like, okay, come on, boy, join in… but I think I’m a killer. That influence isn’t mine, it’s inherited, it’s culturally based. us-not being there to feel, to clarify the heart, not to reveal the heart, not to trust another person with our hearts is what gets us into trouble.”

These words about art touched people a lot. We live in a strange place where we value the arts in our lives, yet arts programs are often undervalued and underfunded. Even people who don’t consider themselves “experts” enjoy art, even if they don’t recognize the music they listen to, the shows they watch, the stories they like or the things they decorate their homes as art.
But sometimes art affects the way Huntington’s essay struck Andrew Garfield. As he told Martin, “I hear this man’s writing, and it feels like, for all of us, it feels like he’s putting something into the universe—longing to be here.”
Art reminds us of our individuality and connects us to others by tapping into our shared feelings and experiences. And people who express those feelings and experiences like Andrew Garfield remind us how powerful that is.
