In film, you can't go into analytical explorations because the audience will reject that.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't analyze things all the time, I just do them.
I don't approach films purely in context of genre.
You've heard the saying, 'Analysis creates paralysis.' You can't be 100 percent sure of anything.
We make films that we ourselves would want to see and then hope that other people would want to see it. If you try to analyze audiences or think there's some sophisticated recipe for success, then I think you are doomed. You're making it too complicated.
The audience has to understand that if the film is going to have any meaning for them. If they are going to empathize with the characters, they have to visualize the process of concentration involved in making every move.
When you do scenes that are just exposition, they feel false.
When you're making a film all by yourself, that requires you to have quite a bit of a point of view in order for anything to get done.
When you make a film, you like to run it with an audience. They tell you you're narrow-minded or subjective, or that seems too long, or that doesn't work.
Those who incline to very strictly utilitarian views may perhaps feel that the peculiar powers of the Analytical Engine bear upon questions of abstract and speculative science rather than upon those involving everyday and ordinary human interests.
Film has the potential of allowing me to explore my own ideas, which I find very attractive.
