The movies that are made more thoughtfully or made or with more ambition often get just get drowned out by the noise.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Sometimes people get really sniffy about the films you choose if you've done more dramatic projects or you're classically trained.
Making movies is difficult and you get disorientated sometimes - even when you're working with fantastic talent.
A lot of Hollywood films tend to be bloated, bombastic, loud. At the same time, I do like the infrastructure of making a blockbuster; it's like having a big train set.
With movies, you get to be in a bubble while you're creating it, and it's not until it comes out that you see whether people like it or not.
Having to make a blockbuster every time puts unhealthy pressure on creatives. The pressure on the filmmakers is so intense, I think it stifles the creativity.
The trick of making movies in this culture is how to not give up everything that makes them worthwhile in order to get them made - and that's a tricky balance.
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.
When I talk to some of the younger filmmakers, they are so worried about their films that, eventually, this state of being worried reflects itself in and helps the final work. Whereas, with projects that are meticulously planned, you look at the end result and it is full of emptiness.
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.
I don't get it when you get so much openness about the way movies are made, and the special effects and the behind-the-scenes stuff and all of that. I can't help but feel like this reduces it a little bit.
