I Mean, We've All Had Those Dreams

American Movies Are Often Very Good At Mining Those Great Underlying Myths That Make Films Robustly Travel Across Class, Age, Gender, Culture.

With The Coming Of Radio As A Mass Medium, Suddenly The World Changed. It Became About, 'can This Leader Project Emotional Connection Through The Way He Speaks On The Radio?' And The Anxiety About Whether He Could Do That, We've Inherited.

I Mean, We've All Had Those Dreams Where, You Know, We Try To Cry Out And Our Voice Won't Come.

The Thing That Fascinates Me Is That The Way I Came To Film And Television Is Extinct. Then There Were Gatekeepers, It Was Prohibitively Expensive To Make A Film, To Be A Director You Had To Be An Entrepreneur To Raise Money.

I Think Directors Can Become Overly Infatuated By Gilt And Gold, And The Word "lavish" And Everything Being Magnificent.
