That's what film can do in a way that TV and other long-form storytelling can't. It gives you this very immersive moment.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Film is so immersive.
You may not quite understand the cinematic tricks that go behind the making of a film, but as long as you feel it, I think that's the important thing.
I feel that film, as opposed to theatre, is about capturing that one, real moment.
The escape to an unchallenging fairy tale can be very nice and I'm all for that, but film can also challenge you to confront the realities of our world.
The nature of the movies is different than it was five years ago, and they're all driven by the possibilities of CGI, which means you can make anything happen on screen that you can possibly desire.
That's what's so great about television. You're able to tell this long story, where you couldn't really do that in a film because you have to tell a story in an hour and a half or two hours.
Movies are extremely imitative of one another. Whatever works, people will try to do it.
The whole point of film for me is that it's such a joy. It's such a wonder. The possibilities are literally endless in terms of what you can creatively do.
That's the power of film. If it's good, it can somehow make you feel connected to even the farthest thing from your own experience.
We all want to experience that in our lives - a moment when we're two feet off the ground - and making movies gives you that opportunity. It comes and it goes so fast that it's unreal, but it does happen.
