I don't like message movies either.
The truth is, every movie is a message movie. It's just that most movies have messages that are in lock step with the status quo.
When you boil it down, most movies are message movies. And I think careers are made in message movies.
I choose my films carefully. I have done movies that are sensitive, which deal with some issue and are a mirror of society.
I don't really want to do the Hollywood thing. I think you ought to try to say something with your movies.
John Carpenter had a lot to do with putting social messages into genre movies.
The primary goal is to entertain people because... Fortunately, the kind of movies I have been doing have a certain message, they break taboos, and they are socially relevant. So it's a great mix of content and entertainment.
You gotta be careful with message movies. People say "What do you want people to take away from it?" I always say its totally individual.
