In Movies You Get To Do That.

You Want To Take Yourself Seriously, And You Want To Make Something That You Hope Will Have Resonance With The Audience. You Want To Bring Your Perspective And What You Consider Your Talent To That Piece Of Work, And You Move Forward In That Direction. Sometimes That's Easy, And Sometimes It's Met With Resistance Because You're Dealing With Situations Where, For Everybody Else, It's A Piece Of Business.

Sometimes Violence In A Very Real Way Is Much Faster And More Impactful Because It Feels Real And You're Watching It Happen And You're Watching Your Star Do These Things, So It's Not Like He's Doing Superhero Moves.

I Don't Think The Audience Goes And Thinks Of The Movie As A Piece Of Art - There Are Some Independent People Who May Go And Have A Higher Appreciation For Filmmaking. It Is A Great Art Form, But I Don't Think You Look At A Painting And A Movie With The Same Eye.

If I'm Going To See My Mom, I'm Going To Church!

It's A Dumb Question, Because I Don't Look At Things As A Black Director, Just As A Director, So Ask Me As A Director First And We Can Segue Into The Colour Thing Later.
