build earlier filmmakers films forget love stories talk time took
We've all been disappointed by new installments of the stories we love. But with all this talk of filmmakers 'ruining our childhood,' we forget that right now is someone else's childhood. This is their time. And I have to build something that can take them to the same place those earlier films took us.
challenge love time traveling
I love the challenge of having one character who is traveling back in time to find someone. Nowadays, the only way we think to find someone is on Facebook.
became certain circle defined life number stretch time
I've always been someone with a small circle of friends. Each stretch of my life has been defined by one person who was just my person. We became inseparable for a certain number of years, and that time was our season, just the two of us making our way through life.
filmmaker films larger slightly solve time
I was going to go and do what I should do as a filmmaker and make slightly larger films each time, learn my craft, make mistakes and solve them.
cared carry dad linked maybe nicer regret relationship subtle time travel
We would go back and maybe not say that thing to our dad that we said, or maybe be a little nicer to someone who we cared about and had a relationship with when we were young.

Where I live, in Vermont, there's this thing that women know about men, which is this disease: their childhood was so idyllic that nothing in the rest of their life can ever be satisfying. It's almost a plague.
allen movies name woody
Woody Allen movies are like Beatles songs. I can't name my favorite without you immediately naming a better one.
people
There are a lot of different elements in play when you're remaking something people care about.
release tricky
Marketing for a film is tricky because you release stuff without context.
bit
I tell you, man, I'm every bit as a 'Star Wars' fan as anyone else.
good
I think, if you can, it's OK to put something in a movie because it makes you feel good.
animators best movement quite recognize
I think living things can recognize the movement of other living things, and all the best animators in the world can't quite capture that something.
dynamic filmmaking might
'Jurassic Park' was able to get away with big, dynamic filmmaking that might be out of place in another kind of story.
