Personally, I consider 'Titanic' the most brilliant example of successful counterprogramming; the film actually countered itself by embedding an epic chick flick within a classic disaster movie.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Any film that supports the idea that things can be changed is a great film in my eyes.
I think when any one kind of film does well, it creates a precedent and paves the way for more like it.
I'm fascinated with films that deal with strategy because there's a right way and a wrong way to get the job done.
Well, every movie is an experiment. And the only way you can grow at what you're doing is to take chances. You can't try to stick with what worked last time.
When I'm actually making a film and trying to find solutions, I like to watch making-of documentaries about huge films, like 'Gladiator.' That couldn't be more apart from what I'm doing, but you see Ridley Scott facing huge problems and fixing them.
Any film, or to me any creative endeavour, no matter who you're working with, is, in many cases, a wonderful experience.
Beyond its romance, 'Titanic' offers an indelibly wrenching story of blind arrogance and its terrible consequences. It's the rare Hollywood adventure film that brings mythic images of tragedy - the fall of Icarus, the ruin of Ozymandias - so easily to mind.
Of course any kind of film process has ups and downs and days where you're stuck and have breakthroughs.
'Clash Of The Titans' is one of the biggest movies I've done; it was certainly the most effects I've worked with.
For any director with a little lucidity, masterpieces are films that come to you by accident.
