Up until doing this movie, I hadn't really paid a huge amount of attention to those genres, but after finishing this movie, it really gave me a different sense of appreciation of the way the movies play out.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am a movie fan across the board, though, so if a movie is well done then I love it and it does not really matter what the genre is.
I'm a working actor so I never really pick a film because of a genre, and I don't really turn them down because of genre. Anything that's unlike the picture I just finished is always more interesting.
The only genre I have any problem with is musicals, but that's just my own tastes it's nothing to do with the films.
What I had to say was, in general, I'm not really a fan of any one genre of any kind of film.
My favourite genre lies inside myself, and as I follow my favourite stories, characters and images, it sums up to a certain genre. So at times even I have to try to guess which genre a film will be after I've made it.
You know when you're a kid and you get to pick a movie every Friday? I watched everything. There's no particular genre that was appealing. I just loved the idea that you could dress up and play.
I have a preference for film just because of the familiarity. It's what I know, and I sort of have nostalgia for it.
With 'Bright Star' and with 'The Piano,' too, I felt a kind of sadness about it being in such a different era, because of my lack of experience with the era. And one of the ways I'd get over it is to remind myself that every film, even if it's contemporary, creates its own world.
It's always been the genres that fascinated me. I think great action movies and great thrillers are transformative.
I absolutely love genre movies. When I was a kid, I was really impacted by genre films and cult classics.
