bit human tick whatever
I feel like, whatever movie I was making, there would always be moments of human intimacy and insight into a little bit of what makes us tick as people.
human maybe
There's something really interesting about how human beings just want to see animals tear each other apart, maybe because we can't do it.
human
There's something about dinosaurs that should be very humbling to human beings.
bad good human lives predators saved took
There's no such thing as good or bad dinosaurs. There are predators and prey. The T-Rex in 'Jurassic Park' took human lives and saved them. No one interpreted her as good or bad.
areas collective films human occupy stories venture
I like very human stories that venture into sci-fi or the supernatural or areas that I think occupy a lot of space in our collective memory for the films that we loved as children.
exist humans scale
Intimacy between humans need not be relegated to independent film. Real characters can exist no matter what the scale of a movie is.
relationship wished
I think that no relationship goes completely according to plan or the way you wished it had.
bit
I tell you, man, I'm every bit as a 'Star Wars' fan as anyone else.
animators best movement quite recognize
I think living things can recognize the movement of other living things, and all the best animators in the world can't quite capture that something.
dynamic filmmaking might
'Jurassic Park' was able to get away with big, dynamic filmmaking that might be out of place in another kind of story.
adventures fit funny movies scary specific takes
'Jurassic Park' movies don't fit into a specific genre. They're sci-fi adventures that also have to be funny, emotional, and scary as hell. That takes a lot of construction, but it can't feel designed.
directors
'Jurassic Park' is like 'Star Wars.' Different directors can give a different taste to each movie.
advance cinematic experience magicians mystery point proponent reached telling theatrical tricks
I'm such a proponent of the theatrical experience and the cinematic experience, and we've reached this point where the magicians are not only giving away their tricks, but they're telling us how they're doing the tricks in advance before you even come to the magic show. It'd be nice to get a little of the mystery back in.
movies position smaller
I'm in a kind of weird position where I want to prove that I can do smaller movies.
