It wasn't about, 'Oh I want to make a film where I get to kiss a 10-year-old boy'. To me it was I wanted to make a film where you're trying to understand love.

For this game, we shot it just like it as if it was a film so there wasn't that much different from doing a film other than some technical things for the costume that had to be done so they could transfer the footage later and make it look animated.

i just realized that i hadn't posted about the film "An Inconvenient Truth." for those of you who don't know, this movie talks about global warming. i went into the movie a little skeptical, wondering if i was going to be preached at by al gore, the narrator and spokesperson for the film. it's a documentary, too, so i wasn't expecting anything too exciting. as it turns out, this movie is a must-see. it's not about al gore, tree-hugging hippies, george clooney, julia roberts, george bush, or U.S. issues. this film and the movement surrounding it is about being aware of the nasty turn our world and weather seems to be taking, and what we can do to turn it around before we ruin the only pace we have to live. the information in this film is shocking. parts of our planet that i assumed were covered in ice are now melting, and the photos of these places, seen in the movie, make me nervous. the links from this past year's natural disasters to the overall direction of global warming is an issue that is worth looking at. the ten hottest years ever measured were in the last 14 years. the hottest was last year, but it doesn't take a genius to tell that this year is hotter.

Some of the acting is better than the film deserves. Make that all of the acting. Actually, the film stock itself is better than the film deserves. You know when sometimes a film catches fire inside a projector? If it happened with this one, I suspect the audience might cheer.

 

Roger Ebert

 

The man who has stolen in order never to thieve again remains a thief. Nobody who has ever betrayed his principles can have a pure relationship with life. Therefore when a film-maker says he will produce a pot-boiler in order to give himself the strength and the means to make the film of his dreams - that is so much deception, or worse, self-deception. He will never now make his film. (p124)

 

Andrei Tarkovsky

 

I am here to act, entertain and make good films. I don't want to work hard for a film which does not even get released. I will cooperate with my director and help him make a good film. I get disappointed if my co-actors don't put in as much as I do. Today I am looking for banners and costars who have the same goal as me --- to work towards making a good film with dedication. I have made mistakes in my career, but that is just the learning process.
