I'm a writer and director. And the movie I've seen a million times is 'Coming Home,' directed by Hal Ashby and starring Jon Voight, Jane Fonda and Bruce Dern.
balances blending films funny gravitate life liked realized sad scary sort strange tonal towards whatever
For whatever reason, the films I gravitate towards do have these strange sort of tonal balances to them... I kind of realized on '50/ 50' why I liked these blending of tones, because I think it's kind of what life is like: funny one minute, sad the next, scary the next.
hang whoever
I like a pretty relaxed, fun set. Everyone knows they can bring whoever they want and hang out.
capture life movies sort tone
It's rare that movies can sort of capture the tone of life; movies always feel like they have to be one thing or another.
choosing engage feeling instinct work
He has a gut-level feeling for what's right and what isn't, what will work and what won't. He just has an instinct for choosing when to engage and when not to engage. It's really remarkable.
comparison hard hope judge level love movies quality resent saw sees time
I really hope everyone who saw 'Twilight' sees 'Warm Bodies,' but at the same time... I don't resent the comparison on a level of quality because I don't judge other movies like that. Now that I make movies, I see how hard it is to do everything. I pretty much love all movies.
