Edward Zwick quotes about
philosophical crafts may
However much I may like to talk about or be interested in a more philosophical or moral agenda, [film] is, ultimately, about narrative. And it's about telling stories that are engaging and dramatic.
giving political messages
It's always great to do a movie that you find is entertaining, but also can give some sort of political or social message.
country children acquisition
I have nothing against diamonds, or rubies or emeralds or sapphires. I do object when their acquisition is complicit in the debasement of children or the destruction of a country.
men thinking america
I think it's too easy often to find a villain out of the headlines and to then repeat that villainy again and again and again. You know, traditionally, America has always looked to scapegoat someone as the boogie man.
population should myth
There is a segment of the American population that has been excluded from the national myth, and that should be redressed.
ideas people giving
You do these movies, you give it out to the world and you really have no idea how people are going to react to you.
movie thinking people
I don't think movies can ever be too intense, but people have to understand why you're showing them the things you are showing them.
life years ideas
Samurai culture did exist really, for hundreds of years and the notion of people trying to create some sort of a moral code, the idea that there existed certain behaviors that could be celebrated and that could be operative in a life.
opportunity thinking privilege
I think one of the privileges of being a filmmaker is the opportunity to remain a kind of perpetual student.
