Sometimes films ignore other points of view because it's simpler to tell the story that way, but the more genuine and sympathetic you are to different points of view and situations, the more real the story is.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's a bit more of a safe distance when you're making a narrative movie, a bit more perspective. Audiences can separate themselves from the harsh reality of the facts a little bit more and think: 'Okay, how do I consider this?'
My films are very rooted in specific people's point of view. Some film-makers give a more global point of view, like God looking down at the characters.
Despite the impression you may have from watching too much TV, movies are not about reproducing reality. They're about telling stories.
Films don't always tell a story; some films can achieve effect just by being razzle-dazzle or rock n' roll. That's part of the fare that's out there. And that's okay. For me, I place more value on a story.
You are always invested in a film, but there is always a different feeling you get when you are portraying a character that is based on real life and you are re-telling events that actually took place.
We all do films believing in them completely, but sometimes, the audiences like what we like, and other times, they don't.
As filmmakers, we're constantly always looking for something to bring the audience deeper into the reality of the story we're telling.
In a way, perhaps, there's an advantage of being on the edge of something and looking in as the observer, because as the filmmaker, you're the storyteller, and you're pulling out this universal story.
Every filmmaker imbues a movie with their own point of view.
As soon as anybody puts anything on film, it automatically has a point of view, and it's somebody else's point of view, and it's impossible for it to be yours.
