Each of my records has a different focus, a different theme.
Story is important but the most important is the theme and how you're going to convey theme cinematically. I'm a believer also.
I'm happy to talk in general themes, but when we get down to specifics about my family, for me that's always been off-limits.
That is the theme of the Million Mom March: 'I don't need a brain - I've got a womb'.
Of those two [Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump], I do think that the - right now, at least in my mind, the Democratic theme is eclipsing the Republican one.
There isn't a grand plan at work in the progression of the books with respect to the line. I do want the books to be different from each other, certainly, but I'm more aware of that on the level of theme or structure. I can tell when I'm writing the last of a particular type of poem because the writing is too easy and I start to feel queasy.
Something brushed his leg, and he gazed down into the face of Pippi Tucker. The theme from Jaws raced through his head.
The New Testament picks up from the Old the theme that God intends, in the end, to put the whole creation to rights.
We all perform our lives in a way. And the actor is a perfect metaphor to get at that theme of 'how do we find our authentic selves?' And that we all - whether we're actors or not - perform ourselves. As a way of searching. As a way of fumbling around and trying to say, is this my voice? Is this who I am?
Louis Malle was the best filmmaker I've ever worked with. He was such an artist. He was dealing with the theme of innocence and experience.
Clearly, the left-wing groups want to use this carbon theme as a tool for wealth redistribution.
Lots of people think things would be better some other way. That's why the world's lousy with theme parks.
We talk eloquently about our commitment to the principles of Christianity, and yet our lives are saturated with the practices of paganism. We proclaim our devotion to democracy, but we sadly practice the very opposite of the democratic creed. . . . This strange dichotomy, this agonizing gulf between the ought and the is, represents the tragic theme of man's earthly pilgrimage.
A related recurring theme is the exploration of how we take for granted the things in our immediate environment that are common and ordinary. Existential blindness, of sorts.
Before seeing Truffaut 's Small Change, I was afraid it was going to be one of those simple, natural films about childhood which I generally try to avoid I'm just not good enough to go to them. But this series of sketches on the general theme of the resilience of children turns out to be that rarity a poetic comedy that's really funny.
The moment at which music reveals its true nature is contained in the ancient exercise of the theme with variations. The complete mystery of music is explained right there.
You know, usually with movies there are periods, dark areas, where I might not be getting what I wanted out of a theme. I'll have to go over and over it again.
The theme you choose may change or simply elude you, but being your own story means you can always choose the tone. It also means that you can invent the language to say who are you and what you mean.
For me writing and filmmaking is a therapeutic process. It reflects themes that I'm going through at a time in my life.
I think audiences can deal with these mature themes.
