interesting mind stories
Usually when I'm making a movie, what I have in mind first, for the visuals, is how we can stage the scenes to bring them more to life in the most interesting way, and then how we can make a world for the story that the audience hasn't quite been in before.
interesting want film
I just want to make films that are personal, but interesting to an audience.
thinking interesting people
A lot of people have said my movies are all the same. But I don't actually make an effort to have a style. I'm usually just thinking of what can we do to make it funnier or more interesting or just kind of refine it and it ends up like that.
character interesting effort
I want to try not to repeat myself. But then I seem to do it continuously in my films. It's not something I make any effort to do. I just want to make films that are personal, but interesting to an audience. I feel I get criticized for style over substance, and for details that get in the way of the characters. But every decision I make is how to bring those characters forward.
funds install
Now we will have the funds to install it.
force half meaning next within work
Over half of our work force is over 45, meaning within the next 20 years, they'll be gone.
great scene sure time waiting work
Every time you do a take on a movie, you're not sure if it's going to succeed. Even if you have a great cast, like we had, every scene you're kind of waiting for the release. 'Oh, yes; it happened. We got it!' There's always the possibility that it's just not going to work.
I'd never heard anything about this at all.
telling
And Hackman had really choked up when he was telling it. It was very moving.
becomes believe crush fantasy fifth giant swept
When you're 11 or 12 years old, you can get so swept up in a book that you start to believe that the fantasy is reality. I think when you have a giant crush when you're in fifth grade, it becomes your whole world. It's like being underwater; everything is different.
longer
Sometimes when you're editing a movie, you have the thing that you don't expect - which is you make it longer and longer as you go along.
mother sorry loss
I'm very sorry for your loss. Your mother was a terribly attractive woman.
reality world details
That's the kind of movie that I like to make, where there is an invented reality and the audience is going to go someplace where hopefully they've never been before. The details, that's what the world is made of.
thinking choices support
I guess when I think about it, one of the things I like to dramatise, and what is sometimes funny, is someone coming unglued. I don't consider myself someone who is making the argument that I support these choices. I just think it can be funny.
