The movie business is very much like that: people in authority making purely emotional decisions instead of interesting rational ones.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Film is an emotional medium; it's not a logical medium. It's not an intellectual medium, so every decision you make as a filmmaker and an actor has to be emotional in some way, even in the rejection of logic.
When actors give their input, it can be very ego-driven, and directors are scared of that.
Hollywood movies are run on fear and they don't want to make bold choices. They, generally, speaking want to keep things status quo. That's not really interesting for me.
In movies, people seem to be more emotional than they would ever be if that situation was actually happening to them.
The movie business is not something that can come from the brain. It really comes from the soul and the heart.
I find films incredibly emotional. That's the power of the medium.
The film director, in many instances, has to swallow somebody else's decision about the final form of something. It's so hard as to be intolerable.
People have given their lives to this industry to make movies compelling.
Actors are trusting souls, and we must go by gut-level instinct, even after our agents and business managers weigh all the odds.
I think it's possible to make a blockbuster that is actually emotional. They don't need to be mutually exclusive.
