build earlier filmmakers films forget love stories talk time took
We've all been disappointed by new installments of the stories we love. But with all this talk of filmmakers 'ruining our childhood,' we forget that right now is someone else's childhood. This is their time. And I have to build something that can take them to the same place those earlier films took us.
cared carry dad linked maybe nicer regret relationship subtle time travel
We would go back and maybe not say that thing to our dad that we said, or maybe be a little nicer to someone who we cared about and had a relationship with when we were young. You know, they're subtle things, but we carry those with us forever. And I think that regret and time travel are intrinsically linked to me.
filmmaker films larger slightly solve time
I was going to go and do what I should do as a filmmaker and make slightly larger films each time, learn my craft, make mistakes and solve them.
became certain circle defined life number stretch time
I've always been someone with a small circle of friends. Each stretch of my life has been defined by one person who was just my person. We became inseparable for a certain number of years, and that time was our season, just the two of us making our way through life.
challenge love time traveling
I love the challenge of having one character who is traveling back in time to find someone. Nowadays, the only way we think to find someone is on Facebook.
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.
directing filmmakers instead joking kids mom suddenly
I was joking with my mom that all Jewish mothers now will want their kids to be filmmakers instead of doctors. Because you can make one film, and suddenly you're directing a 'Jurassic Park' movie.
