Nowadays Filmmakers Tend To Recycle The Same

In "the King's Speech," Patriotism Is Utterly Contained Within A Historical Moment, The Third Of September, 1939, Where The Aggressor Is Clear, The Fight Is Clear, It Hasn't Become Complicated Over Time.

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

I Appear To Be Drawn To Iconic Characters And What They Reflect Back To Our Cultures.

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

I Decided To Be A Filmmaker When I Was 12. I Had Utter Clarity That This Would Be My Life.
