Additionally, Tom Cruise stated, "As an artist, my dream is to look at human nature and enable (audiences) to find their own reflection while watching the movie." He added, "The beauty of movies also lies in the fact that they can become a common theme when we gather in theaters to watch them. Being able to work on a project of such a massive scale with talented people is a privilege for me. Sharing a work like this is truly a beautiful moment. I have come to Korea 13 times, and I want to come 30 more times in the future. If you invite me, I will definitely come."
