“For me, making a lot of dramas on one side it's a different sort of challenge, and on the other, it's not a challenge at all, meaning that my goal is to try and bring the realism and acting you might find in a straight drama with the intentions and conflict, where it doesn't feel tongue-in-cheek, but rather committed and real.” FeelsTryingDifferentRealMightSidesGoalChallengesActingDramaConflictIntentionCommittedTongueCheeksRealismTongue In Cheek Author:James Mangold
“There's a level where the themes of a film are very relevant to me and also the idea of finding out how relevant one genre is to another. I think that westerns and samurai films and superhero films have a lot in common. It's just that the scale of the visuals in tentpole films can sometimes overwhelm the drama.” ThinkingIdeasSometimesFilmLevelsCommonDramaFindingsScalesGenreThemeVisualsRelevantSuperheroSamuraiGenre Is Author:James Mangold
