Tye Sheridan Explains ‘The Order’ and Its Relevant Truth

by

As an ardent admirer of Tye Sheridan‘s acting prowess and profound wisdom, I find myself deeply moved by his insights regarding “The Order.” His ability to delve into the psychological depths of characters and bring their complexities to life on screen is truly remarkable.

Tye Sheridan could portray a youthful, somewhat naive character in the gripping neo-Nazi manhunt thriller “The Order”. However, despite his young age, he possesses profound insights into the story’s underlying themes. In a recent interview with MovieWeb, Sheridan stated, “I believe you can’t solve any issue without first identifying its underlying cause.

Tye Sheridan, remarkable in “The Card Counter” and “The Mountain,” delved deeply into his character’s roles, not only studying the book on which the films are based but also the text that the characters discuss within the narrative (specifically, “The Turner Diaries,” a well-known white supremacist manifesto). However, for him, the impact of the story and the art form itself stems from its underlying message.

In some instances, we might believe we have a good understanding of the individuals within our community, but upon closer examination, they remain enigmatic, potentially posing a risk not only to us individually or our families, but also to our neighborhoods, country, and democratic values.

From my point of view, Sheridan’s character is pivotal because he shares a neighborhood and a life with those who present a direct threat to his family, given his interracial marriage. This situation breeds an undeniable tension and a palpable sense of danger from Nicholas Hoult’s character and his white supremacist followers. As Sheridan puts it, “I’ve discovered that some folks from my hometown, people I went to school with, have aligned themselves with the Aryan Nation, only to splinter off and form their own group.” He goes on to elaborate further.

Tye Sheridan Says ‘The Order’ Really “Pulls the Veil Back”

The danger is persistent and undeniable; the realization that his personal world and society aren’t sanctuaries for him and those he cherishes. This sentiment resonates strongly in today’s United States, where a growing political divide has sparked riots, acts of political violence, and a surge in hate crimes. For Sheridan, The Order serves as a platform to contemplate the actions of our neighbors.

[The film] offers deep insights. Often, we tend to pigeonhole individuals and sort them into groups. However, it’s rare for us to delve deeper and explore the psychological aspects beneath the surface. This movie seems to lift the curtain on these hidden aspects, particularly focusing on its characters. Not many films manage to do that.

In my opinion, when I delved into Zach Valen’s script, it left me utterly impressed. It skillfully encapsulated that notion, managing to portray people authentically and provide viewers with a chance to empathize with these complex characters, whether they are virtuous or flawed. To me, empathy is a significant stepping stone towards healing, even if only on a small scale. As for The Order, regardless of the perspective you bring from it or your personal beliefs, I believe that empathy is the essence of its core message. The Order made its grand debut in cinemas on December 6th.
