There's no attempt to manipulate the audience. We made our choice at the start.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Nowadays the audience has changed. No one can anticipate the audience.
It's so easy to manipulate an audience, but it's nearly always clear that you are being manipulated. I think even people that are not critically attuned are aware of cynical manipulation in film.
You can't force an audience to see something they don't want to see, no matter what it is.
My rejection of the idea of entertainment in its current form is based on the audience that comes with it.
I don't want to fail the audience. I don't want to let them down.
And we had the perhaps unfair advantage of not having to worry about what an audience was gonna think. We were in a vacuum. We were making little short films, really.
Large audiences did not suit my low-key approach.
You can't second-guess your audience. You can only do what you think is right. If you do that, your audience will appreciate you.
I'm manipulating the audience. I'm making sure people sympathize.
We're so afraid to lose the audience. Let the audience go.
