The Kindest Thing A Director Can Do

If You Have Your Movies So That Everyone Understands Everything, I Think That's Probably Not A Very Good Movie.

The Better A Novel Is, In Literary Terms, The More You Can't Be Faithful. The Novel Succeeds On Terms Exclusive To Literature. A Good Film Succeeds On Terms Exclusive To The Cinema. That's Why So Many Bad Novels Can Become Good Movies.

I Don't Feel Despair Because I Am Able To Make The Films I Want To Make, And That Gives Me Hope.

Just Because I Make Films Doesn't Mean I Think They're Great. I Just Make Them And Then When I'm Done With Them I'm Just A Filmgoer Like I Always Am. They're All Lessons. I'm Still In Film School, Honestly. And This One Is Just A Dry Run For Whatever The Next One Is.

Cinema Really Lends Itself Well To Big, Archetypal Stories, You Know, Classic Old Stories And You Need Kind Of A Weird, Big Terrain Like The Japanese Plains For Samurai Movies Or The West. You Need That For These Giants To Walk Around.
