Violence is a form of cinematic entertainment.
We didn't have a movie theatre until I was about nine, so I just didn't see them. But, once I got into movies I loved them.
Approaching any movie with a three in the title you know you are not going to get a political polemic. You are not going to get some sort of political statement or ultra-deep message.
Violence is a form of cinematic entertainment. Asking me about violence is like going up to Vincente Minnelli and asking him to justify his musical sequences.
Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it.
My kitty is full of films and I have been shuttling between Chennai and Hyderabad.
To do a movie about someone who actually lived gives you two responsibilities. You have to try to be accurate to the facts of what he did and what he was like as a character. Then, at the same time, you have a responsibility to make a movie that entertains and can get an audience.
Three Days of the Condor is still an interesting film to watch not because it's political. It happens to be political. But that's not why the sales of the DVDs are as high as they are. It's because it's an entertaining thriller. In my opinion, Tootsie is a very political movie but truck drivers can go and laugh at it.
The movies are not my first priority - the theater is.
I sometimes go to a movie and eat my popcorn and turn my brain off. I love those movies. But the movies I like to be in, for the most part, are the ones that challenge you.
It's like everybody is obsessed with Hollywood movies worldwide. And even though everybody hates the Americans, they're still watching American movies.
Well, I thought the opening of 'Hatari!' was pretty good. And 'The Pink Panther' wasn't half bad either.
The gremlins are clearly the ones have the most fun in the film, trashing the town, going to the bar, smashing things, etc. It's all gleeful chaos, which makes the movie fun.
Say what you want about superhero movies and how much they make and how much they hurt other movies. I don't buy any of it. I just think they're so good.
There are so many shoot-'em-up, action, jingoistic TV shows and movies that are made every year. I think the final line is that Hollywood is populist.
For me, watching a movie is an experience where I can go, eat popcorn, and enjoy with my friends and family. I want to be a part of cinema that entertains people.
No one sets out to write escapism as a film's subject matter unless, maybe, you are making a fantasy flick.
Girls will go see anything. They're open and excited to go to the movies and laugh.
