I Think There's A Vague

Chris [ Nolan] And I Have A Strange Way Of Working From The Non-movie Process, Where After All These Conversations And Reading The Script And More Conversations, Chris Went Out And Shot The Films And The First Thing He Did, He Wouldn't Show It To Me Until I Had Written The Music - Not Out Of Meanness, Or Anything, It Just Sort Of Seemed An Interesting Idea To See If There Was Some Synchronicity And Letting Me Use My Imagination To The Fullest Instead Of Being Constricted By Cuts And Images.

What I React Against In Other People's Work, As A Filmgoer, Is When I See Something In A Movie That I Feel Is Supposed To Make Me Feel Emotional, But I Don't Believe The Filmmaker Shares That Emotion. They Just Think The Audience Will. And I Think You Can Feel That Separation. So Any Time I Find Myself Writing Something That I Don't Really Respond To, But I'm Telling Myself, 'oh Yes, But The Audience Is Going To Like This,' Then I Know I'm On The Wrong Track And I Just Throw It Out.

It's Certainly Difficult To Balance Marketing A Film And Putting It Out There To Everybody With Wanting To Keep It Fresh For The Audience.

Heist Movies Tend To Be A Bit Superficial, Glamorous, And Fun. They Don't Tend To Be Emotionally Engaging.

One Of The Things You Do As A Writer And As A Filmmaker Is Grasp For Resonant Symbols And Imagery Without Necessarily Fully Understanding It Yourself.
