I think at the point when they were first starting to talk about a movie, it was a little bit different back then.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It wasn't until the movie came out that it all changed for us. Some people say it was the start of Ten Years After, but in another way, it was the beginning of the end.
So it eventually became a question of WHEN they were going to make a movie.
By the time the discussion starts about a movie, it's like bringing up an old boyfriend. It's like, 'I don't even remember exactly what he was like, and now we have to talk about it?'
I'll definitely say that, before film school, I didn't have much of a film-history background. I didn't know much about classic cinema.
People love to talk about how the '70s are the only time they made movies about characters, and adult movies, and complicated people. But in the '80s, they got away with some of those too.
When you see the films of certain young directors, you get the impression that film history begins for them around 1980.
Ten years ago, it was really difficult for a young actress to walk onto a set and disagree with the director and having that be OK and have a conversation about it and everyone be cool with it.
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.
Only after awhile. After it came out and people began to engage in discussions about the social reflections of the film that I realized it had an importance I hadn't thought of.
You go back to those films of the '40s and '50s and hear the dialogue, the way the people played off each other - the wordplay. I think we've really lost that in movies.
