Cheyenne Autumn was received not too successfully. I still think it was a very good movie. It was kinda Ford's apology for the way he had treated Indians in his past pictures.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I liked 'The Help,' and I love Viola Davis. But I didn't think that film was a great film; I thought that was a very uneven film. I thought the Southern women were so caricatured that it was kind of like 'Harper Valley PTA' or something like that.
I'm always for the Indian in the cowboy movie. Always.
Second, this epic tale allows the audience to actually listen to the Native Americans and receive their wisdom. Spielberg conveys the respect for Native Americans that is normally lacking in Western films.
It didn't get into Sundance although I showed a rough cut which is a mistake to all filmmakers out there.
Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's bad. I think the film could have been a lot better.
Yeah, Dundee was great. It was a great film. I fell in love with my Mexican wife on Dundee.
Working with David Lynch was like taking a bullet. A gun at you. 'Lost Highway' is, I think, one of the best films I've ever been in. It'll endure a long, long time.
Belly was not a bad movie. It was visually very interesting.
Even though 'Vicky Donor' was a huge success, I have had one or two films which have not done well, but that's all right.
Well, I think In Love and War, which had a wonderful performance by Sandy, Sandra Bullock, who the authorities and, the supposed authorities, in cinema didn't want to know about.
