You have to show violence the way it is. If you don't show it realistically, then that's immoral and harmful. If you don't upset people, then that's obscenity.
I never made a film which fully satisfied me.
Whenever I get happy, I always have a terrible feeling.
Happy endings make me puke.
The best films are because of nobody but the director.
I sometimes cry in the moments that are not necessarily dramatic or tragic in the films, often because of the music. I wonder whether it's the music that has that effect on you in this film.
I don't rehash the past. It's my baggage. That's all. I accept things as they are.
Every failure made me more confident. Because I wanted even more to achieve as revenge, to show that I could.
The whole showmanship is NOT to answer every question.
Cinema should make you forget you are sitting in a theater.
In consideration of the horrible things that has happened to the poor man I can almost understand.....or if the (girl) now woman felt justice needed to be served...Having grown up during Nazi Germany, having his wife, child and friends horrendously murdered could negatively effect probably anyone.... I feel sure he does not enjoy knowing he is a fugitive, but with the unpleasant things that have happened to him for seemingly no reason ..I doubt he feels he would get a fair trial...or simply hasn't the man suffered enough?
