We want these movies to be timeless, and we want people to really engage with the characters and find something that they can really relate to and emotionally connect with.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A good movie makes the audience feel like they've journeyed with the characters.
We have to make some movies we have passion for, respect for.
I like movies about longing and desperation, and dark and light things, stories about people struggling to raise children, and to have relationships and be intimate with each other.
The movies that work are the ones in which somebody very smart figured out how to take all the thematic material, all the character material, all the filigree, all the beautiful writing, and put it into a story.
I really think that movies are the most popular form of story telling ever and have such a huge impact on culture when they do. So I really want to be a part of those movies that say something good to a lot of people.
We've all been disappointed by new installments of the stories we love. But with all this talk of filmmakers 'ruining our childhood,' we forget that right now is someone else's childhood. This is their time. And I have to build something that can take them to the same place those earlier films took us.
It's fun when you start a movie, because it's kind of like you get to go Christmas shopping... you get to make your wish list and you start thinking about what each character needs.
The way the films look will never entertain an audience alone. It has to be in the service of a good story with great characters.
You are always hoping that movie audiences are interested in characters and interested in story values rather than just mindless special effects. But you never know.
I feel like everyone wants to make a movie that they feel passionate about watching.
