Western civilization shapes the content of my films, provides me with subjects that haven't been used before.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like making films about different cultures. I'm interested in things that I've never encountered before. I try to put myself in the audience's position.
As a matter of fact, I find the Western cinema very fantastic.
Some of these things I saw in foreign films - African films, Cuban films - long before I decided to really go on this course as an actor. I started to think about what values I saw in those films that I wanted to bring to my projects.
Film is our literature, so we should tell stories that are apropos of our culture, in that we can learn something about ourselves.
I really want to do a western film. It's one of my favorite movie genres of all time.
I chose films made by people I wanted to work with, about subject matter I thought was intriguing.
The 'Western' is the only genre whose origins are almost identical with those of the cinema itself.
The Westerns I like aren't really comedies. I'm drawn to the scope of them and the land as a central character.
I understand working-class culture, tribalism and the ethos of violence, so I make films about these things.
The Western genre is certainly something with which I'm familiar.
