I don't think movies or television have any basis in reality at all. It's all just pretend. That's what's fun about it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Television and movies have short-circuited reality. I don't think a lot of people are entirely clear on what is real and what is on the screen.
Despite the impression you may have from watching too much TV, movies are not about reproducing reality. They're about telling stories.
Oftentimes, reality is much worse than what you can put in a movie.
Reality shows are all the rage on TV at the moment, but that's not reality, it's just another aesthetic form of fiction.
People's attitude seems to be that if you don't have a television, you're not connected to reality - somehow you're not in reality. It's quite interesting, because I suspect that possibly it's the reverse.
When you make a film that is based in reality, reality will come up all around it.
Maybe entertainment is not supposed to be reality.
In movies, you shoot out of sequence, so the issue of reality is really taken out of it.
What has reality shows got to do with reality? It is beyond unreality; there is nothing real about it.
Movies aren't just supposed to be a representation of reality. They're supposed to be an art.
