You always fear when you're making a movie that has a moral to the story that people are going to reject the idea of being taught a lesson.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I learned a lot about morality from fiction, from movies.
I feel bad about a lot of the movies I see that teach kids that if they do bad, they'll win.
Every movie I make teaches me something. That's why I keep making them.
The only reason you make a movie is not to make or set out to do a good or a bad movie, it's just to see what you learn for the next one.
I do think the moral line you walk all the time about putting something in for the sake of the film and not being affected by people's lives is a very tough one.
I've always had the perspective that roles come into my life when I need them most and sort of teach me lessons. The same can be true of films, films are released into society to aid in a lesson, inspire people, comfort people.
I don't remember being afraid of anything in making films.
To me, watching a movie is like going to an amusement park. My worst fear is making a film that people don't think is a good ride.
I don't feel that fear is a good incentive on a film set.
For me, good films and good books are irreducible to a lesson. You can't just kind of translate them into one statement. On the contrary, the more you do that, the less wisdom in art there is.
