Real life is not like a movie. Even the best movies, the most rich, fleshed-out movies are not as rich and nuanced as detailed as real life or an actual human being.

If the goal is to get the best artists, actors, and filmmakers in the world to create the best movies, Hollywood does a decent job. And I think no one would disagree with me that it also makes a ton of bad movies and employs a bunch of hacks.

Movies are different from real life.

This movie [Don Jon] played at Sundance and South by Southwest and Berlin. And it just played - well...by the time it played at Toronto recently, it was already done. But getting to watch it with a thousand people is hugely informative.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Image
Every director is different. And all the movies are very different, and the characters are very different.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Image
I've always paid a lot of attention to the way that different kinds of media affect how we see the world, probably because I've been an actor since I was a little kid.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Image
I don't think action for action's sake is so fun, but when it helps tell the story, I love doing a good fight scene.

The traditions of Hollywood are grand and great and are going to survive forever, in a way. But they're not going to be the only way for much longer. The technology is such now that you don't have to have millions of dollars to make a movie. You can make one with a computer.

If you're going to put yourself above everybody else, you might end up alone.

A man touched me: his hand... my thigh. I touched him too: my fist... his jaw.

Most of what Hollywood puts out is crap anyway.

Image
I do feel that even though I didn't grow up being a big sci-fi fan or comic books or superhero fan, I felt myself definitely gravitate towards these movies that have a high concept and yet they're giving you a moral dilemma within that.

I have a lot of trouble getting turned on by girls who are turned on by celebrity.
