Resolve Was Never Stronger Than In The

If I'm Ever Working On A Set And Anyone Talks About A Master Shot, I Say There Is No Master Shot. Before I Even Went To Film School, I Learned About Movies By Being In A British Feature Film, Where Everything Was Shot Master Shot, Mid-shot, Close-up. But I Reject The Idea Of A Master Shot. You Don't Shoot Everything Mechanically; You Find Imaginative Ways That Serve The Action.

If A Film Or Any Piece Of Work Doesn't Entertain, It Fails - And That Is Using The Word Entertain Literally, Meaning It Holds You There And You Become Absorbed By It So That You Don't Walk Away And Get Bored And So On.

There's A Constant Drip And Trickle Of Life That Goes Into One's Awareness Really And Consciousness Of Things.

I Did Sit In Cinemas As A Kid Looking At English And American Movies Thinking, "wouldn't It Be Great If The Characters Were Like Real People?" And The Worst Thing Is Films Are Constantly Advertising Themselves, Drawing Attention To Their Style Of Things. But Actually I Make Films That I Think Are Extremely Sophisticated And Cinematic. But You Don't Want The Audience Thinking About The Bloody Film. You Want Them To Think About What's Going On, And Believe In It. Be Flies On The Wall, You Know?

He's [constable] A Great Painter As Far As It Goes, But I Don't Think He's Remotely Interesting. Not Really. It's Very Pretty And It's Very Thorough, But It's Not Evocative, It's Not Dramatic, It Doesn't Do What Beethoven Does - It Doesn't Shake You Down To The Roots Of Your Soul, Which Turner Does. Constable Is Just Very Nice, Basically. And Moving On To Personality, Constable Was A Very Dull Character.
