Morten Tyldum Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Morten Tyldum:

I don't know if it's a sadistic side or whatever, but you take characters and put them in really awful situations and make them go through that. And it's very satisfying as a director to explore that, to tell those stories and to explore those themes, because it is so human.

I love when people say 'Imitation Game' is such a crowd pleaser.

Morten Tyldum

It's not every actor that can play a genius.

Morten Tyldum

To do a movie about someone who actually lived gives you two responsibilities. You have to try to be accurate to the facts of what he did and what he was like as a character. Then, at the same time, you have a responsibility to make a movie that entertains and can get an audience.

Morten Tyldum

I don't think the biggest crime is to not sympathize with people. I think the biggest crime is to not be interested.

Morten Tyldum

To me, Turing is as much of a philosopher as he is a mathematician because his ideas deal with what it means to think.

Morten Tyldum

Trying to explain Turing's work in encryption and decryption? It's complicated.

Morten Tyldum

World War II was the last 'pure' war. It was purely heroic. There was someone who tried to conquer the world, who tried to exterminate people.

Morten Tyldum

Just because someone or something thinks differently than you do, it doesn't mean that it's not thinking.

Morten Tyldum

The more shaded, flawed characters that are struggling, I think there's something very relatable about that.

Morten Tyldum

You never know where your next movie is going to come from. You just have to fall in love with something because it's going to be taking up every moment of spare time in your life for about two years. You're going to be dreaming about it and thinking about it and becoming obsessed with it.

Morten Tyldum

I don't know if it's a sadistic side or whatever, but you take characters and put them in really awful situations and make them go through that. And it's very satisfying as a director to explore that, to tell those stories and to explore those themes, because it is so human.

Morten Tyldum

Turing was very strong and driven and, at the same, so awkward and fragile.

Morten Tyldum

As a filmmaker, I don't want to limit myself to one kind of movie. After 'Headhunters,' I went to Hollywood and read a lot of scripts: lots of action thrillers and heist movies, and superhero films.

Morten Tyldum

You first do the assembly cut, which is basically the cut that mirrors the script. You've got to start with that.

Morten Tyldum

'The Imitation Game' is a very British film.

Morten Tyldum

The most serious problem doing biography is the matter of time because you have to shape events into a narrative of two hours; you have to create a dramatic arc. That can be a challenge.

Morten Tyldum

We had everything from the BBC on our TV, so British drama seems very close to home.

Morten Tyldum

I'm a sci-fi fan, but a lot of the sci-fi you're getting is the same. It's very stereotypical.

Morten Tyldum

Thank God sci-fi has moved away from spaceships fighting aliens! Now it's a place where you can explore contemporary issues or emotional feelings. You can put it all in a different setting.

Morten Tyldum

I love Fincher, as he has a great atmosphere and intensity. Also, I grew up watching Hitchcock movies, and there was something elegant in the way he plays with you and plays with the character and tricks you.

Morten Tyldum

Seeing the first edit is the worst.

Morten Tyldum

I think that the test for taking on a project is to try and list all the reasons not to do it. When you find yourself running out of reasons, and you still have to do it, it's the right thing to do.

Morten Tyldum

We're very skeptical of people who are too perfect.

Morten Tyldum

I love using drama and humour.

Morten Tyldum

What you want, as a filmmaker, is to be obsessed with and fall in love with the material.

Morten Tyldum

I'm from Norway, but I always felt like I'd grown up with British culture.

Morten Tyldum

This is a man who was 23 years old when he theorized the idea of creating a programmable machine, and in that way, Turing foresaw computers and artificial intelligence. These were revolutionary ideas at that time.

Morten Tyldum

Making a movie is universal. Directing a movie is universal; it's a universal language.

Morten Tyldum

I love William Gibson.

Morten Tyldum

It's great to try another format and be part of telling a story over ten episodes.

Morten Tyldum

Sometimes you read something, and you have to read more and more about the background.

Morten Tyldum

I didn't know anybody who was a filmmaker - there was no film industry where I grew up. I never knew what a director really did until I was in high school and I started reading up about it. I've always loved films, and I always felt like a storyteller.

Morten Tyldum

When you go to the movies, you expect the movie to create a world that you can immerse yourself in, that you can step into. Sci-fi is a beautiful way of doing that.

Morten Tyldum

For film fans to support 'The Imitation Game' means so much to me, the entire cast and film-making team.

Morten Tyldum

If I did the structure and had this thing about a straight character, I would never have a sex scene to prove that he's heterosexual. If I have a gay character in a movie, I need to have a sex scene in it - just to prove that he's gay?

Morten Tyldum

Our film society back home is so different from here. Making a movie is universal. Directing a movie is universal; it's a universal language. It's just figuring things out and understanding the codes and how the system of Hollywood compares to that of Norway. We don't even have agents. There's no studio system, no managers.
