Maybe More Than A Teller, I Am

When I'm In The Process Of Making A Movie I'm Not Thinking About The Finished Result, And Whether People Have To See It Once Or More Than Once, And What The Reaction To It Will Be. I Just Make It, And Then I Live With The Consequences, Some Of Which May Not Be As Pleasant As I'd Like! I Know One Thing, However. Many Viewers May Come Out Of The Theater Not Satisfied, But They Won't Be Able To Forget The Movie. I Know They'll Be Talking About It During Their Next Dinner. I Want Them To Be A Little Restless About My Movies, And Keep Trying To Find Something In Them.

Of The Hundreds Of Points To Enter And Exit That Are Offered To Me, I Have To Choose The One That I Feel Is The Least Wrong, The Least Fake. It Is Fake, It Is A Moment That I Choose To Erupt The Story, But I Make It As Smooth As I Can. What Enables Me To Do It Is The Skill Of Filmmaking.

When The Film [certified Copy] Was In The Cannes Festival, I Realized That The Fact Of Having It Shot In A Different Culture, In A Different Language, In A Different Setting, That Wasn't Mine And That I Didn't Belong To, Gave Me A Totally Different Relationship To The Film. When I Was Sitting In The Audience During The Official Screening In Cannes, I Didn't Feel That It Was My Film.

I Remember When I Came Out Of An Exam Thinking I Had Done Well And Then I Had A Clue That Maybe One Answer Was Wrong, I Remembered That I Rather Stop Knowing, Stop Thinking About It, Appreciating Life Instead. So First, It Was Just A Memory. But Then I Realized That In Life, It's A Much More General Sentiment - That Instead Of Waiting For Other People's Judgment, I'd Rather Focus On My Own Feelings, That Everything Is Fine. To Go On With My Life Rather Than Anticipating Other People's Judgements That Might Be Negative.

I'm Still Very Grateful To Digital Cameras In General, But I Didn't Have This Feeling With The Red One.
