fills joy
It fills me with joy to see Dieter (Dengler) again.
trusted
Netflix trusted me in a way that was very, very pleasant.
courageous course demons easy gave haunted himself love opinion perhaps telling
Of course this is me revisiting my own past, going into the wilderness, telling a story, perhaps not the one I set out to tell, ... I had no opinion about Treadwell . . . I gave him space, let him tell me his story. And it was pretty easy to see that he was haunted by demons -- illuminated, courageous and cowardly, exhilarated and in love with the idea of himself as a star.
indifferent
Nature is monumentally indifferent.
country october language
The beauty of Netflix is on the 28th of October they push a button and the film will be in 190 countries at the same moment in 17 languages.
attitude bears doubts help keeps love nature repeating respect simply toward wild
I have my doubts about his attitude toward wild nature and that he did anything to help the bears, ... Wild nature is simply wild, and we have to respect that. He keeps repeating to the bears 'I love you,' and I think that is wrong. You should respect the distance.
missing soldier serious
Roger Ebert was a very valiant soldier of cinema who passed away, and we miss him. It's over with serious discourse about cinema in the print media and on television. It has been replaced by celebrity news. So we are speaking in his spirit always.
film north-korea ethiopia
Netflix knew I was going to North Korea and Ethiopia and Iceland. They saw the film and liked it and that was that.
audience audiences encouraged exactly films fraction people present screening speak tiny witnessed
I'm making films for an audience out there and a very tiny fraction of them are would-be filmmakers. But let's speak of them-the would-be filmmakers, the tiny fraction. I've witnessed many times when I've showed films and was present at a screening that exactly those people feel very much encouraged by what I'm doing.
horror villain easy
"Jack Reacher" was easy because the function of the villain was just to spread fear and horror.
training wonderful danger
The wonderful thing is that Clive [Oppenheimer ] insisted on training his camera - his private camera - on me at one point. We were discussing things such as how to avoid certain dangers, while reflecting on a volcano that had threatened to explode 40 years ago.
vote kind
I'm not a citizen of America, I cannot vote. But it is fascinating because there's a new kind of protagonist out there that we didn't expect. By the way, I'm not in any panic at all.
demon divine
As for the "anger" of the volcano, we leave it up to the local populations who create their demons, their gods and their divine punishment.
people film construction
The deal was we had to have people accompanying us and they would ask us not to film something [in North Korea]. For example, we wanted to film at a certain place and there happened to be a building under construction and it didn't look as fancy as the other buildings, so they wanted us to shoot where everything looked finished and made a good impression of the cityscape.
