Bong, you’re actually nice at discovering the stability between social commentary and leisure, reminding the viewers of the darkest instances in human historical past however we’re additionally laughing alongside the best way. I need to ask you what’s your means of bringing these themes collectively and the way you managed to condense it into beneath two hours.
Bong: After I write or shoot a movie it’s not like I take into consideration the best way to stability it, I don’t put them on a scale and attempt to weigh or discover the right combination of the 2. My major aim is to at all times entertain the viewers as a result of that in itself is such an effort. How do I make the viewers not need to pull out their telephones for 2 hours? How do I tie them to their seats and simply give attention to my display? Hitchcock was actually about that as properly.
With the opposite social-political layers of the story, I sort of need the viewers to simply give attention to the leisure and the movie after they’re watching it, so after they go dwelling – or simply earlier than mattress after they’re mendacity down I simply need them to consider it for like a minute. I need them to be absorbed in what they’re seeing in theatres after which afterwards sort of surprise, “Oh possibly that is what that meant, possibly that is really fairly just like my very own state of affairs.” You recognize like a small afterthought.
I did really feel that, I used to be blessed to have the ability to see the movie twice and the primary time I used to be actually entertained, it was actually humorous – nevertheless the second time I felt like I acquired far more of the symbolism that had been dropped in and it sort of similar to took over my mind for a full day. So I really feel such as you actually do go away with ideas continuously from the movie, which I believe is incredible.
Bong: You might be my ultimate viewers.
