No film should try to follow a trend, and do what film people think the public wants. There's no such thing as knowing what the public wants.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It's dangerous to think too much about how a film will be received. Filmmaking is not a popularity contest. Some would disagree.
Films can't change the society; they can simply open the space for the discussion which can lead to social change and can start new forms of social activism.
I think audiences crave something new. I don't think audiences want the same old thing, no matter how much conventional Hollywood tells you that.
I think film should raise questions, not give answers. I think film should challenge people to reflect, debate and get by themselves to the answer that fits them.
Well, in our industry it's that the movies cost so much money to make they have to appeal to a broad audience. And I think that's part of what will loosen up in the future, as technology makes it cheaper, you'll be able to make films for a more selective audience. I think people will be able to make more personal movies.
Whether you think a film will affect society or it's plain entertainment, it's all excellent, it's all noble.
Audience members are only concerned about the story, the concept, the bells and whistles and the noise that a popular film starts to make even before it's popular. So audiences will not be drawn to the technology; they'll be drawn to the story. And I hope it always remains that way.
I think we just need to have a demand for fresh and nuanced movies.
The time a movie is made is unique, not only from the talent that is available but if the public was ready for it.
Movies cater to what the audiences want.
