I Like To Think That

You Can Think Of My Films As Cautionary Tales, But You Might Even Think Of Them As Despairing Tales, Because At Least In A Cautionary Tale, You Have This Idea That By Listening To The Story You Can Assure A Better Outcome. Whereas I'm Not At All Convinced That's The Case. In Fact, If Anything, I'm Convinced That It's The Opposite.

We Have More Information - A Glut Of Information - Than Ever Before, And Perhaps Less Knowledge. That's What's Peculiar. And The Only Way You Can Deal With It, I Suppose, Is To Make Fun Of It. I Would Rather Watch Comedy Central For The News Than I'd Like To Watch Any Other Program On Television. Maybe That Shows You The State Of Affairs.

Did You Know That Nuremberg Courtroom Was Designed So That The Allies Could Project Movies During The Trial? And, Also So That They Could Film The Trial? The First Movies That Were Shown Were Prepared By John Ford - A Compilation Of Material From The Liberation Of Bergen-belsen And Dachau. But Here Comes An Interesting Part.

Truth Exists Independent Of Style. It Involves All Kinds Of Issues. Properly Considered, It's A Quest, A Pursuit. To Say That Vérité Is More Truthful Than Something That Is Narrated Is Just Misplaced. Completely Wrong. And The Fact That People Still Talk About It As Though They're Really Talking About Something... It Puzzles Me Greatly. A Moment Of Reflection About It Tells You That It Makes No Sense!
