Their films would probably be better if they'd seen a few more films, which runs counter to this idiotic theory that you run the risk of being influenced if you see too much.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I tend not to go look at movies before I make a movie. I'd rather not be specifically influenced.
I think filmmakers want their movies to be seen.
I don't want to commit to too many films, as it would result in getting out of touch with what is happening in the industry.
Audiences aren't fools - their judgement really is important. And the true heroes of films are the investors. They take the risk, after all.
And it's one reason why I don't go to a lot of movies - they're more and more dominated by corporate values and fiscal concerns as opposed to cinematic concerns.
There is a sort of theory that you should adapt bad books because they always make more successful films.
I don't think a lot of really good films get seen.
I ultimately have faith though, that good films will find their audience.
I think the audience know which films are aimed at their pocket, and which films are aimed at their soul. There are a lot of films out there made by people who are genuinely trying to make a change.
I think there are way too many films made, and I've probably made way too many films.
