“I built up a knowledge of 1960s and '70s British films because my dad used to work nights, and I'd sit up with my mum and watch films - 'How I Won the War' and the films of Richard Lester, Karel Reisz and John Schlesinger.” WarFilmUsedNightWatchesDadBuiltMy DadBritishMum1960sBritish Film Author:Nick Moran
“My dad hasn't said much about his college days. Oh, a few times, he might start telling stories. And I've seen some highlight film of him from college. I remember thinking he looked really small. Which is funny, because growing up, I thought he was a pretty big guy.” ThinkingSaidStoriesBigsMightRememberFilmGuyGrowing UpGrowingCollegeDadMy DadNflHighlightsTelling StoriesBig GuysCollege Days Author:Andrew Luck
“I do find violence entertaining, but that doesn't make me a bad person. I grew up watching all these action films when I was a kid. My dad would bring back 'Rambo' and whatever, and we'd watch it together. It's not affected me in any way other than I just appreciate the entertainment value of violence on film.” WayPersonsKidsActionTogetherFilmValuesWatchesViolenceGrewDadGrew UpAppreciateMy DadEntertainmentAffectedEntertainingAction FilmsRambo Author:Scott Adkins
“Growing up, I didn't have television. My dad would make up stories and tell me stories, so my imagination ran wild. When I did see films, which was very few and far between, that was such an interesting medium that was so new to me. It wasn't something that was just part of my life, so it was really appealing and so different that I enjoyed that.” DifferentStoriesFilmImaginationInterestingGrowing UpGrowingTelevisionDadMy DadMediumsEnjoyedRanMy Imagination Author:Shiloh Fernandez
