You know, often films that are deemed positive, nobody wants to see them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I can understand the validity of showing people the ugliness of the world, but I also think there is a place for movies to leave people with a sense of hope.
Most films, it doesn't matter if you see them or not.
I've never much been interested in doing films that no one gets to see.
The films that I do tend to polarise people's views.
It's always good to have no expectations when you see a film. Then you can be pleasantly disappointed or surprised.
There comes a point in your moviegoing life where you look at the screen and then you look at the world and you ask, 'What is going on?' You want the movies to show you the chaos and mess and risk and failure that are normal for a lot of us. Generally, the movies hide all of that.
A lot of the films I do go down brilliantly critically and win awards, but not a lot of people see them.
I don't like movies that are trying to preach and trying to tell you how to feel.
My belief is that no movie, nothing in life, leaves people neutral. You either leave them up or you leave them down.
Having a movie that lasts and makes your image imprinted into the history of cinema, it's very positive.
