In an interview with Den of Geek, Gosling details how the film is a love letter to filmmaking in general. Gosling pointed out how making a film is a romantic endeavor and this made the love story between him and Blunt in the film become a prominent arc in the film. He said,

So we felt that it had to be that way from a story perspective as well. It’s such a romantic endeavor, just to make a film in general. And that romance is at the core of all of it. Every time we reconnected to the love story, it just felt like it kept energizing the movie as it went forward.”
