It Could Be Fascist, Religious Or Political

In My Film "benny's Video," I Depicted Violence But I Failed To Say All That I Had To Say, So I Wanted To Continue The Dialog And That's Why I Did "funny Games." The Irony Is That After I Shot "funny Games," But It Hadn't Been Released At All Anywhere.

In General, In All My Films, I Choose To Create A Certain Mistrust, Rather Than Claiming That What I'm Showing Onscreen Is An Accurate Reproduction Of Reality. I Want People To Question What They Are Seeing Onscreen. In The Same Way As I Used The Narrator, I Also Used Black And White, Because It Creates A Distance Toward What's Being Seen. I See The Film As An Artifact Rather Than A Reliable Reconstruction Of A Reality That We Cannot Know.

Unfortunately, You're Helpless When People Interpret Your Work Wrongly. There Are Simply People Who Can't Or Won't Understand Or Accept What You're Trying To Do. When You Take The Risk Of Expressing Yourself In Public, You Have To Open Yourself To That Possibility.

It's Unbearable When Someone Changes Around You. Just Imagine That Your Life Partner Changes, Then It Is Difficult To Cope With. Or Your Mother. Or Your Father. They Were Strong And Now They're Like A Baby - It's Not So Funny.

Drama Lives On Conflict. If You're Trying To Deal With Social Issues Seriously, There's No Way Of Avoiding Violence, Which Is So Present In Society.
