Jose Padilha Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Jose Padilha:

We make violent cops, we make violent criminals, and no wonder we have shootouts in slums all of the time.

Usually I say I have no imagination.

Jose Padilha

How can I make a movie about the violence of the police if the police aren't going to let me film it?

Jose Padilha

People can't stand it when you deal with issues of race and class, and also sometimes the church, and you give a perspective that flushes out hypocrisy.

Jose Padilha

RoboCop the first movie was fantastic. But even if there was no movie, the concept of RoboCop is brilliant, first because it lends itself to a lot of social criticism, but also because it poses a question, 'When do you lose your humanity?'

Jose Padilha

Pretty soon we'll have robots in our society, you're going to have a lot of automated processes that used to be done by people - this is happening. Society and technology is changing so fast, and the impact of the change on society and technology is global, not local.

Jose Padilha

The way that I sort of direct the writers is, let's do the best story we can. Let's not worry about production issues. 'How much will that cost? How are we going to shoot that?' Let's not set up those constraints on the writing. I don't think it helps the project to work like that.

Jose Padilha

I love the sharpness and political tone of RoboCop and I think that such a film is now urgently needed.

Jose Padilha

Listen, I like great actors. You can be a movie star without being a great actor - this has been proved several times - and I like my casts to have great actors. Acting is more important to me than being a star.

We make violent cops, we make violent criminals, and no wonder we have shootouts in slums all of the time.

If you publish a scientific paper it is very hard to start a nationwide debate about something. If you do this in a movie, you can start a debate. We like to create a bridge between those two worlds - film and science.

Jose Padilha

A lot of jobs today are being automated; what happens when you extend that concept to very important areas of society like law enforcement? What happens if you start controlling the behavior of criminals or people in general with software-running machines? Those questions, they look like they're sci-fi but they're not.

Jose Padilha

I like to give dimension to shots inside action scenes. It's demanding because you have to rehearse a lot of things happening at the same time and frame all those things in a shot. But I feel like when you accomplish that then you've got a cool action scene.

Jose Padilha

Measurements, observations, descriptions can only be considered scientific when they are independently confirmed by other people.
