“I studied a lot of animal behavior and one of the things I find really interesting is the whole idea that animals are sensory based thinkers and I wrote about this in my book, Animals in Translation.

“It was just a wonderful experience, one for the memory book for sure. The sad thing about it was that the picture came under this absurd cloud of controversy. Here was a movie based on the central theme that racism is something that is taught, and it's illustrated by this story of a dog and the efforts of humans to re-train it after it had been trained to go after black people. And it created this ridiculous controversy and wound up being the last Hollywood movie that Sam [Fuller] made.” PeopleHumansMadeBookStoriesLastsBlackMemoriesEffortWonderfulDogTaughtRacismHollywoodTrainCloudsWoundsRidiculousAbsurdThemeBlack PeopleControversySad ThingsHollywood MoviesWonderful Experience Author:Curtis Hanson
“I needed to enhance the outward threat to Rachel.In the book [Girl on the Train], her inner threat is so strong; the fear of herself and her inability to remember and the false memories.
