Bernard Herrmann Was A Genius, A Great,

It's Not My Job. The Weinstein Company, It's Their Job To Convince People. My Job Was To Make The Movie. That's What I Did. I Know What We Did In France Was To Have The Maximum Screenings Just To Let People Talk About The Movie And Say They Enjoyed The Movie.

When You Look At The Early-'30s Movies, Like King Kong, The Codes Of Acting Are Very Similar To Those Of Silent Movies. In Some Of The Silent Movies - The Good Ones, The Ones Done By The Best Directors - The Acting Is Very, Very Natural

People Inside The Theaters Usually, Not 100 Percent But Most Of Them, Enjoy The Movie. Usually They Come With A Small Negative View. In A Way, They're Prepared To Get Bored Because It's Silent And Because It's Black And White. So They Are Much More Pleased To Be Entertained In A Way. They're Very Happy When They Go Out. This Was My Job. For The Other Ones, I Can Do Nothing Except Screen The Movie And Hope That They Will Say To Their Friends That It's Not So [bad].

I Watched A Lot Of Silent Directors Who Were Absolutely Great Like John Ford And Fritz Lang, Tod Browning, And Also Some Very Modern Directors Like The Coen Brothers. The Directors Take The Freedom Within Their Own Movies To Be Melodramatic Or Funny When They Chose To Be. They Do Whatever They Want And They Don't Care About The Genre.

I'm Very Happy In France Making Movies.
