Heist Movies Tend To Be A Bit

What I React Against In Other People's Work, As A Filmgoer, Is When I See Something In A Movie That I Feel Is Supposed To Make Me Feel Emotional, But I Don't Believe The Filmmaker Shares That Emotion. They Just Think The Audience Will. And I Think You Can Feel That Separation. So Any Time I Find Myself Writing Something That I Don't Really Respond To, But I'm Telling Myself, 'oh Yes, But The Audience Is Going To Like This,' Then I Know I'm On The Wrong Track And I Just Throw It Out.

If You're Going To Perform Inception, You Need Imagination. You Need The Simplest Version Of The Idea-the One That Will Grow Naturally In The Subject's Mind. Subtle Art.

What I Try To Do Is Write From The Inside Out. I Really Try To Jump Into The World Of The Film And The Characters, Try To Imagine Myself In That World Rather Than Imagining It As A Film I'm Watching Onscreen. Sometimes, That Means I'm Discovering Things The Way The Audience Will, With Character And Story.

But, In Each Case, As A Filmmaker Who's Been Given Sizable Budgets With Which To Work, I Feel A Responsibility To The Audience To Be Shooting With The Absolute Highest Quality Technology That I Can And Make The Film In A Way That I Want.

I Studied English Literature. I Wasn’t A Very Good Student, But One Thing I Did Get From It, While I Was Making Films At The Same Time With The College Film Society, Was That I Started Thinking About The Narrative Freedoms That Authors Had Enjoyed For Centuries And It Seemed To Me That Filmmakers Should Enjoy Those Freedoms As Well.
