christian mean
Just because we live in a Christian era doesn't mean we're all Christian, necessarily.
challenges
We have enormous challenges in front of us.
strong school nihilism
Cynicism was a school in Greece - the Cynics. Diogenes is a famous Cynic. There was a strong belief in nihilism and narcissism. Those are old schools too.
beings both capable deeply found good human suffering testament wounded
I found them both to be courageous, deeply wounded people. They're both still suffering from the injuries. Will said this is a testament not to the evil, but to the good that we as human beings are capable of. That's important. That's healing.
heart
If you make the movie from your heart and it stands over time, that's what matters to me.
beautiful baseball book
People should really horde their Blu-rays like old comic books and baseball cards. Because they're really beautiful, and will be worth something if you like movies as I do.
greek playwright
The Greek playwrights, we're all beholden to them, every one of us.
children good-things things-happen
We're all divided, but some of us have children, and we are invested in the future and would like to see good things happen.
dirty people
People will go to clean theaters; they don't like to go to dirty theaters.
adventure thinking
I think our life is a series of adventures.
greek age
Now, we live in an age where we have so much information that we do tend to overload. The Greeks did too, though.
point-of-view
Every time you go into a movie, you go into the point of view of who it is about.
carries collective compassion meditation serious within work
It's a work of collective passion, a serious meditation on what happened, and carries within a compassion that heals.
reason
Now with digital, we have much better projection, and if the theaters are charging higher prices but providing refreshments and a clean, well-lit theater, there's no reason why this cannot go on as a senior-citizen-driven business for years. Especially with movies for adults.
