The Beatles in 1963 came to America and became international celebrities, but Bobby Fischer was one of the first, as Elvis was, more in terms of the message created around him.
From Edward Zwick
I had known a couple of people in college who went off the rails, who had significant bouts with mental illness.
The privilege I've had over 15 movies over a very long time has been to make movies that were ambitious or grown-up, complex, that had themes in them that were sometimes political, sometimes challenging, to make these movies on a scale.
Scale is not just something that a director wants so as to play with all the toys. Scale also lends verisimilitude, to put together a real world.
If I try to think objectively about myself and my work, I would say I want to be intuitive and distinctive.
You can't help but reveal your bias, and you can't but invest personally in any story that you tell.
I like to reveal people with some of the niceties of social behavior stripped away and the moral, ethical, and political issues are revealed.
Stories are one of the means by which a culture preserves its identity.
The phone that you carry around with you. It's not just that it's a locator for anybody who wants to actually find out where you are, but it's also a leash. It's a reminder just how tethered you are.
I think there is a very powerful wish that we all have of being self-contained and having sort of opted out or choosing to remove ourselves from society and to have no ties and no obligations, and even no possessions. To be free in a particular way.
