I don't see that many movies lately that are actually about something, that are trying to challenge something about the way that people interact.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Movies are extremely imitative of one another. Whatever works, people will try to do it.
I like movies that challenge people to recognize different things.
Feature film can have a major role in explaining ideas and describing peoples' lives and their struggles.
It's rare that movies can sort of capture the tone of life; movies always feel like they have to be one thing or another.
Filmmakers have to really find a unique take on something if they're going to explore an already-explored genre of movies.
The interesting thing about a movie is the movie.
There are a lot of things that come to bear on movies now that I don't think are good for movies. They're trying to appeal to the biggest demographic and, when they do that, you sometimes flatten out.
Movies are a complicated collision of literature, theatre, music and all the visual arts.
There's been a vacuum with movies that people can relate to. There's been a paucity of dramas that people can relate to. I think audiences are clamoring to connect - particularly after 9/11 - with things that are genuine and real and I think documentaries are filling that need.
One of the annoying things when you're in a movie is that gets talked about is everyone projects meaning onto everyone's intentions.
