In a lot of movies, especially big studio ones, they're not constructed in any other way than to get people to like them and then tell their friends. It's a product.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Unfortunately, overall, movies are a conglomerate. People buy and sell people in this business, which can get really ugly.
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.
People have a different idea of how movies are made than they really are.
Because there is so little room for expression otherwise, a lot of people love cinema because they find it a way of expressing themselves.
Every time you do something, people are going to like it, people are going to hate it. You tend to make the movies on the basis you are making them for the people who are going to like them and not worrying too much about people who don't like them.
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.
What's great about making movies is the sort of additive process of bringing people together and having an idea and watching the idea be added to and at the end you have this thing.
Movies are a commercial medium. We don't make movies to impress our friends and critics. It's an expensive medium. We have to gain money from it.
When you make a movie, it's just so personal and then you put it out in front of people and it becomes something else.
The motivation for making movies is that people actually see them.
