Cinema Paradiso, Because It Reminds Me Of Why I Make Movies, The Magic Of Movies, The Romance Of Movies.

The Outsider Hero Is Hero Riding Into Town, He's The Gunslinger, Shame - The Same Thing, He Didn't Want To Do It Anymore, He Wanted To Live A Different Life But Part Of Who You Are Sort Of Haunts You And You Can't Run Away From Evil And If You Have Special Skills, And Most People Are Mistreated, Which Is Unfortunately In Our World, We Always Need An Equalizer, That Type Of Character To Come To Our Rescue.

It's Part Of The Film-making Business And Also Part Of The Creative Process - Putting All The Pieces Together To Make A Movie, So That They All Line Up. Sometimes It Looks Like You Have A Lot Of Projects Lined Up, But Some Of Them Are In Different Stages.

I Think People Go To The Movies To Be Entertained, To Have An Experience, To Disappear From Their Own Reality For A Couple Of Hours. If The Film Truly Succeeds In Everything The Filmmaker Sets Out For It To Be, Then It's Elevated To Art. It's Elevated To Something Special, Because It Gives People A Visceral Feeling Of Something They're Experiencing As A Collective Group. You Feel Something And That's What Turns It Into What You May Call Art.
