I appear to be drawn to iconic characters and what they reflect back to our cultures.
From Tom Hooper
Some films clearly seem to divide people. And I do think there's something incredibly exciting about the commonality of us as human beings, which some films are lucky enough to tap into.
American movies are often very good at mining those great underlying myths that make films robustly travel across class, age, gender, culture.
American cinema tends to express a patriotic relationship to national identity on a regular basis.
The more uncompromisingly specific you are the more you end up touching the bigger universal truths.
I find that after a screening, people really want to come and tell you what they feel.
