agree cause imagine justify labels means obviously order overcome realize situation unless violence wary
This movie asks, when is violence ever justified? And it makes us wary of labels like terrorism. Obviously most people, unless they're Gandhi-like pacifists, can imagine some situation in which violence is a justifiable means to overcome injustice. It makes us realize that it's subjective; you have to agree with the cause in order to justify the violence.
mean new-experiences shoes
Pointe shoes are torture devices. I mean, ballerinas get used to it, but it was definitely a new experience for me. They feel medieval. I was very happy to stop wearing them.
mean internet fingertips
I mean the Internet is like the luckiest thing - we have everything at our fingertips right now.
mean character thinking
I think you always need to be able to relate to your characters, but that doesn't necessarily mean...you have to understand why they do what they do, but you don't actually have to be like that yourself.
mean female film
I don't know if the scripts are changing so much. I mean, I've been working for almost 25 years and made over 40 films and I worked with my first female director, on a feature,["Planetarium"]. And it's still the only one.
jobs fun mean
I don't mean to criticize anyone in any way that I wouldn't criticize myself. I think people should have fun, and have a good time, and enjoy the luck that we have to be lazy and dwell in consumerism. But I think that it's a balance. And our job as actors is empathy.
mean people matter
It doesn't matter if you mean to do the right thing - if you only do bad things. You need to learn how to do right things. Doing is what affects people...
falling-in-love mean thinking
Sure. I've never dated a woman of anything like that, But, I mean, I think it's much more the person that you fall in love with – and why would you close yourself off to fifty percent of the people?
mean civilization interesting
Well, right now, I'm very fascinated with 1920s Berlin. I mean, probably the more interesting thing would be to go to the beginning of civilization or precivilization - like polytheistic times. It would be interesting to see what came before modern religion and culture - what circumstances created the environment or the need for it.
mean different world
I grew up in the classic American-Jewish suburbia, which has a whole different sense of what it means to be Jewish than anywhere else in the world.

First of all, they can be enjoyed on a real popcorn level, really simple entertainment where you can go to different planets and be completely transported to a different place. On a deeper level, it's based on mythological elements that are things people really cling to.
hectic offended soon work
As soon as it offended people, we moved, ... We had a very hectic work schedule, so we weren't thinking. We shouldn't have done it.
cancer people victim
People will think I'm a neo-Nazi or a cancer victim or a lesbian.

She's really explaining things to them that they probably knew when they were kids. Now, as they're growing up ... they're starting to analyze everything to death they kind of forget those simple logical things that kids know.
