Every movie is unknown.

A movie is really provocation. It's not a message, it's not a statement.

If the movie is quiet I generally feel the audience is busy. That's when they're working.

When I grew up, in Taiwan, the Korean War was seen as a good war, where America protected Asia. It was sort of an extension of World War II. And it was, of course, the peak of the Cold War.
