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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
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.
The audience has to understand that if the film is going to have any meaning for them. If they are going to empathize with the characters, they have to visualize the process of concentration involved in making every move.
Movies cater to what the audiences want.
The theoretical casting part of movies is the funnest part. You really can imagine so many different versions of a story based on who's embodying it.
A good movie makes the audience feel like they've journeyed with the characters.
Films don't always tell a story; some films can achieve effect just by being razzle-dazzle or rock n' roll. That's part of the fare that's out there. And that's okay. For me, I place more value on a story.
As filmmakers, we're constantly always looking for something to bring the audience deeper into the reality of the story we're telling.
One can never anticipate how audiences will respond. One of the lessons that I've learned over the years is to that no matter what my feeling or opinion might be about a given film, once you give it to the audience, they own it.
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.
So, when the special effects are at the service of the story and draw you into it, that is really the magic.
