Films Used To Be About Challenging, Emotional

In The Most Basic Terms It Was About How When We Experience Art Without Critical Awareness We Consent To The Ideas Being Promoted, Either Intentionally Or Unintentionally, By The Filmmaker. For Instance, If You Watch A Racist Comedian And Laugh At His Jokes, You Are Consenting To The Prejudices Inherent Within Them. Similarly, If You Watch A Movie Which Perpetuates Conventional Ideas About Race, Gender, Etc., You Are Consenting To Them And Not Affecting Change In Any Way.

Like Behind The Car Or In The Pub, To Do A Scene, A Proper Nice Dramatic Scene, It's Always A Treat. And They're Usually Shot As One, So You've Got A Big Chunk Of Dialogue To Learn, And You Feel Like You're Working.

Nira Park, Who Is My Longtime Producer And Friend - I've Know Her Since We Did Spaced, The Tv Show - She Gave Me This Script The Last Day Of Filming The World's End. She Said, "take A Look At This. It's Filming In London Next Year, And You Might Like To Look At Jack." I Trust Nira Implicitly.

I Love My Job Very Much, And I Don't Think I Would Change It. In Fact, I Know I Wouldn't, Because I Can't Do Anything Else.

Films That Rely On Their Cast To Be Funny Are Often Episodic And Feel Like A Series Of Loosely Connected Sketches Rather Than A Satisfyingly Structured Script.
