I feel too strongly about rearranging reality in a movie. It gives me peace.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In movies, you shoot out of sequence, so the issue of reality is really taken out of it.
Oftentimes, reality is much worse than what you can put in a movie.
The cinema that interests me departs from realism.
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.
Some people feel fulfillment from a bitter end - it gives them some sort of sense of reality. But, when you're dealing with reality, I feel like films should discover the part that is happy.
I've kind of come to the conclusion that what passes for realism in movies has nothing to do with reality and that my stuff is more realistic than that.
Movies aren't just supposed to be a representation of reality. They're supposed to be an art.
Sometimes movies gloss over things, and it was important to me that this was realistic.
When you make a film that is based in reality, reality will come up all around it.
I don't want at the end of my life to look back at just a bunch of fictional movies I was involved in that kept taking me away from the real world.
