A lot of times, you finish a movie, and you're either going, 'Oh, thank God, that's over,' or 'Oh, my God, it's over, and I don't want it to end.'
I like cinematic art that doesn't have to include violence as the main meat of emotion. Now, excellence in cinema is based on murder, guns. Tarantino bores me. Even though he is very appealing and very facile about putting elements of pop culture into his work. But it kinds of dates it, right?
I was a mess when the movie [Into the Forest] ended and I had to say goodbye. It was one of the hardest endings.
You watch 'Whale Rider,' and I defy you to not get teary-eyed at the end there.
'Caddyshack' touched people; so did 'Tron.' 'Caddyshack' is a lifestyle, and 'Tron' is more religious, spiritual, but both are very emotional responses.
I cry a lot, you know. Which is very difficult for a man to recognise, but I do. I cry in movies, you know, just watching movies.
One of my main weaknesses is a good movie. I'll just bawl my eyes out.
If you go to a theme park, there will be so many rides. You will get an exciting experience in each of them. Like that, every film is an experience that entertains you. Some films will touch your heart. Some will touch you emotionally. There is nothing more than that.
You have to decide what kind of story you're going to tell. For instance I would argue a movie like 'Toy Story 3,' which isn't realistic at all, is really emotional and involving. It just depends. I played this game called 'Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP' for iPad that is totally old school 8-bit, which I found very moving.
I'm a guy, but I'm not afraid to cry. Not all of the time. But when I'm watching a movie, I'll sometimes shed a tear, especially 'Moulin Rouge'.
It's not right to say that only girls get emotional while watching a movie. I have seen so many men connecting with a movie so much that they get emotional.
I find films incredibly emotional. That's the power of the medium.
I very rarely get actually sad when ending a movie.
