I Only Have One Obsession - Not

Robert Deniro, Who May Be The Greatest Living Actor, Usually Acts In A Way Which Is Very Stone-faced, Like Steve Mcqueen. For Example, Steve Mcqueen, If You Cut The Sound, You Don't Know What He's Acting Really. He Gives To The Lines, To The Text, Something Very Special, And He's Very Good. He Was A Great Actor. But, To Do A Silent Movie, You Have To Have More Expressive Actors.

Bernard Herrmann Was A Genius, A Great, Great Composer.

I Went To Hollywood. I Put The Action In Hollywood. I Watched A Lot Of Movies, Maybe 100 Or Something Close To That. I Have Tons Of Dvds Now At Home. I Don't Know What To Do With Them Because They're Not Useful Anymore. My Kids Never Watched Them. I Read A Lot Of Autobiographies, Listened To A Lot Of Music By Classical Era Composers Like Franz Waxman, Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, Alfred Newman And Leonard Bernstein. I Listened To Only That Kind Of Music The Entire Time I Was Writing, Even At Home.

I Watched A Lot Of Movies From All Over The World. The Russians Were Very Good At Editing. They Were Specialists In Editing. The Man With A Camera, If You Know That Movie, Is Incredible. I Still Don't Understand How It Works. It's A Movie With No Script, No Actors And Still It Works. It's Really Good. It's Really About Editing.

I Think There's Something In Common With The Oss 117 Movies. The Big Difference Is There's No Irony In This One. It's Not Parody. I Tried To Make It Very Simple. It's A Simple Story, But To Be Simple, It's Very Complex In The Way It's Done.
