If you have what you want to say inside, and if you are crying for something that is true inside, it doesn't matter. The camera always sees it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It is not whether you really cry. It's whether the audience thinks you are crying.
I think that if you can convey a kind of a complexity, a mystery, a truth in stillness, that, to me, is really worth striving for, and I totally agree with Michael Fassbender in that less is more. If it's going on inside you, the camera will find it.
You have to learn to express differently. Whenever I do TV or film, I ask if I can see the shot to see, to see if it's full body or a close-up. That helps me understand how to communicate.
You don't want to be the guy whose back's to the camera in the emotional part of the movie. So, you have to be aware of the camera movement and what the camera's doing.
I think if a movie makes you cry, you probably needed to cry.
It's almost better most times to not talk in a scene. I think you can actually express a lot more without words.
The camera never lies, man. I've learned that. If you allow it, it will see right through you, which is kind of cool.
If I don't cry while writing a key emotional scene, my gut feeling is it's failed.
When a scene is being shot, it is very difficult to know what one wants it to say, and even if one does know, there is always a difference between what one has in mind and the result on film.
Well, I mean, you have an emotion, you want to express it. You don't just look in the camera and do it. You want to hide from the embarrassment of your brother saying you're not allowed to come into my town.
