“I think a lot of the most interesting work in art and in films are often kind of polarized opinions and affect people in very different ways, which may be less successful commercially, but they elicit a dialogue that's quite interesting.” PeopleThinkingWayKindMayArtDifferentFilmInterestingOpinionSuccessfulDialogueDifferent WaysMost Interesting Author:Lily Cole
“From the very beginning, all of my films have divided the critics. Some have thought them wonderful, and others have found very little good to say. But subsequent critical opinion has always resulted in a very remarkable shift to the favorable. In one instance, the same critic who originally rapped the film has several years later put it on an all-time best list. But of course, the lasting and ultimately most important reputation of a film is not based on reviews, but on what, if anything, people say about it over the years, and on how much affection for it they have.” PeopleIfsYearsLittlesImportantFilmCoursesFoundOpinionWonderfulCriticsAffectionCriticalListsReputationInstanceAll TimeRemarkableWhat IfLastingReviewsDividedAll Time Best Author:Stanley Kubrick

“I think testing films are a great tool. And I think showing them to people that you value their opinion is important, but once you give over to what reviewers think, that's tricky.

“I was very happy with Vampire's Kiss, which in my opinion was almost like an independent laboratory to start realizing some of my more expressionistic dreams with film performance.

“It was invaluable to have a dear friend who you have known for over a decade, be a partner in a film like Titanic.

As the elevator begins to descend, Brad just decides he's going to drop this in and it was so simple but he just goes 'F*&k you,' and the audience went crazy.

“Ultimately, we want to provide people with a unique experience, and an unexpected one as well. We'd like people to leave the theater having questions, being intrigued, wanting to know more, and forming their own opinions about the characters and the world we created.
