There are very few solid family films. A lot of the writing is awful.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A family film is a very particular and explicit form. Family films typically include adult principles that are moral, but they should be as intelligent, funny, and intriguing as any other film.
There's such good writing now on television and I don't see a lot of great writing on films sadly.
My feeling about the movies is that most of them are terrible. If you don't have a decent script and a decent director, forget it.
I think that my films are basically family stories, beyond the fact that they are global and have political and social commentary.
What I think is remarkable about my mum and dad is they had no interest in films, really. None.
'Family Life' is a blueprint of my life. It was horrible and physically gruesome in a way the book doesn't attempt to capture. It was emotionally very bleak.
If a film is suitable for family viewing, it should remain so, and if a film has some adult content, it should remain so, and these genres should never be mixed and spoil the vision of the story teller.
What's so amazing about 'All in the Family' is sometimes an entire act was one camera shot. It was all about characters.
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.
I'm not going to live my life unhappy and why should he and we talk about it and I think what's great about the film is that it shows is the meaning of family doesn't have to be as traditional as it once was, like you can make a family.
