Sometimes movies gloss over things, and it was important to me that this was realistic.
What I want you to know is that 'Zero Dark Thirty' is a dramatization, not a realistic portrayal of the facts.
I don't see a lot of movies that portray the East Village as well as I think they can.
The water in 'Life of Pi' is very realistic.
People ask me about 'The Hurt Locker' a lot, and it's an incredible piece of filmmaking - as are 'Band of Brothers' and 'Platoon' and 'Full Metal Jacket' and 'Apocalypse Now.' But they're not necessarily true to war in a literal sense. What they are, really, are brilliant movies about Hollywood's idea of war.
Nothing could be more boring than an absolutely accurate movie about the law.
In a science fiction film, you're uniquely responsible to pay respect to the science represented in the movie.
I've read the 'Public Enemies' script and, no, it's not 100 percent historically accurate. But it's by far the closest thing to fact Hollywood has attempted, and for that, I am both excited and quietly relieved.
People in movies and TV seem to be completely dumb to what's going on in the real world and relationships.
