A Film Is - Or Should Be

A Film Needs More Than You Can Give It In A Lifetime.

Man Isn't A Noble Savage, He's An Ignoble Savage. He Is Irrational, Brutal, Weak, Silly, Unable To Be Objective About Anything Where His Own Interests Are Involved-that About Sums It Up. I'm Interested In The Brutal And Violent Nature Of Man Because It's A True Picture Of Him. And Any Attempt To Create Social Institutions On A False View Of The Nature Of Man Is Probably Doomed To Failure.

It's A Mistake To Confuse Pity With Love.

A Satirist Is Someone Who Has A Very Skeptical View Of Human Nature, But Who Still Has The Optimism To Make Some Sort Of A Joke Out Of It. However Brutal That Joke Might Be.

Sanitised Violence In Movies Has Been Accepted For Years. What Seems To Upset Everybody Now Is The Showing Of The Consequences Of Violence.
