Film Is 24 Lies Per

I Think Watching A Movie That Simply Confirms My Feelings Is A Waste Of Time. That Applies Not Only To Movies, But Also To Books And Every Form Of Art.

And If There Was One Title That Could Be Applied To All My Films, It Would Be 'civil War' - Not Civil War In The Way We Know It, But The Daily War That Goes On Between Us All.

Film Is The Manipulative Medium Par Excellence. When You Think Back On The History Of Film And The 20th Century, You See The Propaganda That's Been Made. So There Are Moral Demands On The Director To Treat The Spectators As Seriously As He Or She Takes Himself And Not To See Them Merely As Victims That Can Be Manipulated To Whatever Ends They Have.

And I Don't Believe That Children Are Innocent. In Fact, No One Seriously Believes That. Just Go To A Playground And Watch The Kids Playing In The Sandbox! The Romantic Notion Of The Sweet Child Is Simply The Parents Projecting Their Own Wishes.

The Dumber People Are, The More They Feel The Need For A Broad Set Of Shoulders They Can Lay Their Head Against.
