Every film is a political act; it's how you see the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The definition of political cinema is one I don't agree with, because every film, every show, is typically political in nature. Political cinema is simply the brainchild of bad journalists.
When I do a political movie, I do a political movie.
Hollywood is in control of politics and has imported their action-filled movie scripts into the real world.
Indeed it can be argued that to make a powerful film you must care about the subject, therefore powerful films tend to be both political and partisan in nature.
On the contrary a film can promote the idea of change without any political message whatsoever but in its form and language can tell people that they can change their lives and contribute to progressive changes in the world.
It turns out that it's easier to do politics in a movie. People really don't want it in their TV.
I would make a film with a political point of view if I agreed with it, and even, perhaps, if I didn't.
I just love movies, so suddenly, you're political about movies, and that's dark. It's just not fun when something you love becomes calculated.
I think that people who make films and think they're changing the world are sorely mistaken. If that really is your goal, there are far better ways to do it. I'm making politically observant films for audiences.
When I make a film, I'm not doing it purely for political reasons. If I just wanted to do that, I'd run for office.
