“Good genre movies are a little bit like trying to write a haiku. There are certain things that you have to do to fulfill the audience's expectations, but inside that, you have complete freedom to talk about whatever you want. Who wants to see a movie about gun violence in America and class? But, if you set it in this terrifying, fun, roller coaster ride of a movie, you can talk about whatever you want. That's been the game that genre movies play, when they do it well.” IfsWantWritingTryingWellsLittlesPlayAmericaCertainGamesFunBitsClassAudienceViolenceLittle BitExpectationsGunGenreHaikuRoller CoasterGun ViolenceCoastersComplete FreedomRoller Coaster Rides Author:Ethan Hawke

“What happens is people - especially, I think, audiences in the United States - people confront new things a little bit afraid. It's like when you're a kid and your mother puts something on your plate you never ate before. I think that American audiences are very much like that, and when they can accept something new they can accept the next new thing, it's incredible. And what happens is that their expectation of what things should be is elevated, and that's really terrific for us.” PeopleThinkingShouldLittlesStatesHappensKidsMotherNextBitsUnitedAcceptingUnited StatesAudienceLittle BitExpectationsIncrediblesSomething NewNew ThingsPlatesTerrific Author:Paula Scher
