And who cares, five years down the road, what most movies made or didn't make? If it's good, it stands up.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You've got to believe as a filmmaker that if a movie's good enough, it's going to survive; and if it's not, well, it won't.
These things have a life of there own and never existed when I was growing up certainly worrying when one would get made. It's kind of amazing how that one movie kept living through all these years.
I don't really care where movies come from as long as they're worth making.
There's not a lot of good movies being made.
I made about 28 movies, and I think about five of them were good.
Movies are great fun and wonderful when they're good. But you never get to see them till six months after they're finished. So you never get a sense of whether they're really well liked or how good they are. And you don't really know what the finished product is going to be like, because it's a director's medium.
I'm amazed that movies ever get finished at all - much less come out good once in a while. It's an awful lot of work and it can go wrong a thousand different ways.
I turned down twelve films last year... Huge money films, but I had no respect for the writer or the work.
Somebody once said, you have to wait 20 years before you can tell if a movie's any good or not so that's probably true.
Quality isn't about where the money came from or which company gets to put their name on the thing. What matters is who made the movie and why they made it.
