When I Came To Know

I Really Think That People Who Want To Think More Serious Have To Go And Watch Theater. Theater Is A Very Sterilized Art Form. Not As Much As Music, But Very Close To Music.

It's Been Interesting To See How Similar Audiences In The East And West Are, Actually, And How It Makes You Realize That When Politicians Emphasize The Differences Between Our Cultures, It's Usually Because It Benefits Them More So Than Us.

We Always Have The Movies That Are More Toward Real Life, But They Don't Have That Much Drama Or Suspense, Or We Have The Full Of Drama Or Suspense, But They're Far Away From Real Life. Always When I Was Watching A Film, Films With Good Drama, I Was Thinking, "i Wish They Were More Close To Real Life." But When I Was Watching Real Life Films I Was Thinking, "well I Wish It Had More Drama." I've Tried, In The Movies That I Worked So Far, To Get These Two Things Closer And Closer To Each Other.

The Fact That I Do Place Music At The End Of My Films Is Not To Accentuate The Emotion. It Serves An Opposite Purpose Which Is To Remove Them From The Emotional Space And Allow Them To Enter A Space Of Thinking, Because I Believe That When The Audience Is Watching The Film They're Watching It With Their Feelings.

I Always Thought That In The Countries That The Modernity Kicks In Later, It Seems That Everything Changes On The Surface, The Physical Things Change, But Inside, Things Haven't Changed, Really. This Is Always The Challenge Of This Kind Of Community, To Make A Harmony Between The Cultural Traditions And The Modernity Of Modern Life.
