Zitat des Tages von Julia Leigh:
I don't think good films have messages.
The most important thing is to have something important to say and finding the means to say it.
I, myself, don't like to see a film on Friday night and then forget it by the next day.
It's dangerous to think too much about how a film will be received. Filmmaking is not a popularity contest. Some would disagree.
I do believe we're all adaptable, and you're probably more adaptable than you realize.
I love films where you go into the cinema and loosen the edges of yourself and you hopefully enter into the world of the film. You're watching something unfold before you. I prefer the idea of wonder or intense wonder over shock or something.
I think striking the right tone for your story is, if you like, the alchemical work of writing.
The great thing about being a writer is that you have a long, perhaps frighteningly long time in which to do your work.
There is a difference between a voyeur and a tender witness. Maybe I think the audience is more of a tender witness than a voyeur, which has a shady undertone.
All this talk about writing is a little bit moot, because it is almost an unthinking process. It is actually a paradox because you are constantly making choices.
