character thinking interesting
I think 'Scarface' is a great film, but if you have a character like Tony Montana, you don't identify with him at all. I think it's very interesting instead to identify yourself with a character you don't like all the time. You can create a tension between the fiction and the viewer. You force the spectator to wonder about his actions.

defend robber takes tradition word
I come from a tradition of screenwriting -- with a co-writer -- where everything is challenged, where you have to defend every idea, ... I am a robber of ideas, but for there to be ideas, you have to have discussion. If everyone takes my word for the truth, you can't do that.
