war two evil
Nationalism and patriotism are the two most evil forces that I know of in this century or in any century and cause more wars and more death and more destruction to the soul and to human life than anything else.
differences people littles
Films might get to you and your subconscious and make a little difference, but when the vigilante drum beats, the mob screams and the conformists go along with it. There have to be people who are non-conformists.
war politics serious
I've been to war, and it's not easy to kill. It's bloody and messy and totally horrifying, and the consequences are serious.
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.
government people venezuela
Venezuela is a democratically elected government. These people who keep protesting are sore losers,
movie great-year greed
Greed-for lack of a better word-is good. Greed is right. Greed works.
writing secret ass
The secret to writing a screenplay is keeping your ass in the chair.
missing next popcorn
I make my films like you're going to die if you miss the next minute. You better not go get popcorn.
independence mind spirit
Independence is a state of mind. Independence is spirit without category.
strong character people
Well first of all you have to make the character strong so that people can follow that. And then hopefully that character can integrate with the background of the social situation that people can recognize.
thinking empathy crafts
[Nixon] reduced the meaning of his life to nothing but power. In the film, we gave this sad figure consciousness of what he was. We weren't right to do that - I don't think he did have that consciousness. But we did it for movie reasons - to create empathy.
thinking people support
I don't think most people in the US realize how important WikiLeaks is and why Julian's case needs support.
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.
revenge men two
Crom, I have never prayed to you before. I have no tongue for it. No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad. Why we fought, and why we died. All that matters is that today, two stood against many. Valour pleases you, so grant me this one request. Grant me revenge! And if you do not listen, the HELL with you!
