I'm Always Careful About The Thing I'm

I Feel It’s Important To Talk About The Complex Issues Affecting Us. And These Are Complex Issues. I Think It’s Insulting To An Audience To Make Them Sit And Watch A Film And Then Give Them A Message In One Sentence.

It's A Mistake And Misconception To Think That One Has To State Everything Clearly And Simply For The Audience To Be Able To Follow The Character, And This Is What Is Bringing American Cinema Down From Its Position In The Classic Golden Period. There's This Misapprehension That The Audience Is Not Smart.

Whether We Like It Or Not, The Modernity Is Something That Comes From Western Countries, And When The Modernity Comes To The Eastern Countries, Although They Feel Like They Really Need It, At The Same Time It Shakes The Very Fundament Of The Culture - There Is Always This Challenge Between The Two.

The Fact That I Do Place Music At The End Of My Films Is Not To Accentuate The Emotion. It Serves An Opposite Purpose Which Is To Remove Them From The Emotional Space And Allow Them To Enter A Space Of Thinking, Because I Believe That When The Audience Is Watching The Film They're Watching It With Their Feelings.

I Always Feel That A Viewer Has An Expectation About Every Moment Of The Film And Where It's Going, So If I Act Against That, I've Created A Twist. In Fact It Becomes A Kind Of Game With The Expectations Of The Viewer. This Is The Superficial Appearance. In The Layer Beneath There Is A Hidden Theme. The Result Of Each Twist Is That The Judgment Of The Audience Member Is Challenged.
