Death comes in a flash, and that's the truth of it, the person's gone in less than 24 frames of film.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We see death constantly on film.
People say you never remember anybody who dies in movies, and it's true, you don't. You don't even remember people who disappear.
Even when you're making a movie about life, death is a presence, and I guess it's part of my dramatic viewpoint. I'm not sure why exactly.
It's funny that people think because you don't have a movie or record out, you disappear into a frozen chamber someplace. They think you're dead when you're not in the public eye.
Sometimes when you make a film you can go away for three months and then come back and live your life. But this struck a much deeper chord. I don't have the ability yet to speak about it in an objective.
I've done about four deaths in films now, and I think it's quite good because then it's sort of a memorable moment in the film.
It's certain that the death of an actor can be on a television screen playing the same thing every week.
On 'Flash,' you've never seen the last of anybody, no matter what happens to them.
It's very weird about movies: you never know which ones are going to stay alive and which one are going to be meaningless. When you're there, you couldn't possibly predict it. Some things slowly die, and others slowly stay a while.
Any time you die in a film, it's not real, so it's all kind of fun.
