You can repeat things because it's on a set and there are actors. But if it's a great moment and you don't capture it, it's rare to get that moment again.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most theater methodology is predicated on the idea of repeated actions. That's what you work toward. Having the actor repeat the same moment eight times a week. In a film, it's getting that one moment right.
A lot of times, actors and directors don't want to repeat something. I don't think we're repeating something, but I think there's certainly a genre that we're in, and we're happy to embrace it.
Most movies are lucky to have one moment, one shot that you look at and you always remember that moment and that scene.
Filming is repetition and many takes.
One of the things I find very difficult about theatre is the repetition - that something can slide away from your original intentions.
I never want to repeat myself. I can't imagine anything else as upsetting as realizing I'm redoing something I did before. For some reason, when it comes to film, I'm very good at not repeating myself. Even though in the rest of my life, I'm constantly repeating my mistakes.
I don't like to repeat myself as an actor.
It's no fun for an actor to keep repeating what you did before. It's always changing. I'm changing. The target keeps moving. That's the beauty of it.
There is no way that you can ever really repeat something. I have this great belief that the magic of the moment can never be recaptured.
Film is shot in fragments, and the same moments can be shot again and again until the director is satisfied.
