I think possibly the first film that has music as its leading character.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Music in this film is a very important part.
Music is always there, but if you're asking me my first love, it's film.
Music is half the film.
If I tried to somehow wrap my head around the fact that Francis Ford Coppola directed my first movie, there's never a slot into which that ever fits in your mind.
I guess the first screenplay of mine that was done was 'Falling in Love' with Robert DeNiro and Meryl Streep.
Now, it's almost impossible to go out and do a film about a new form of music.
My first time playing a main character was in 'Seventeen Years.' It was directed by famous Sixth Generation director Zhang Yuan, but it wasn't a large commercial film.
The first person to make me realize there was someone behind the film was Steven Spielberg.
All of the silent films had live music accompaniment, so it's actually a very rich period in music.
Music is so crucial to every film, I think.
