“In the case of Game Change, the discussion in that film was how our politicians have become so much like celebrities - personality becomes more important than substance so that they can function in a 24-hour news cycle.

“In my films, I like to use the same actors again and again, so I know them really well and can bring their unique personalities into the process. However, as a director, I have strict control over the way they express their personalities. I don't want them to go beyond what I need from them, but I also don't want them to underplay. So I modulate their performances very closely, within a certain range of expression.” FilmPersonalityUnique Author:Tsai Ming-liang

It's using two different sides of your personality.” WritingDifferentFilmDecisionNicePersonalityCompletionInception Author:Peter Vack
