If you're not grown up enough to understand that a trailer is not done by the director, then fine. Judge the movie from the trailer.

More quotes by Michel Gondry
In my opinion, it's more interesting to see magic happening in a world that feels grounded. If the world is already crazy, then anything can happen. So it's better to start with something real.
Michel Gondry
I read about some movie where they did everything on blue screen, and the actors were not even connecting to each other.
Michel Gondry
I don't like movies that are too manipulative. A lot of movies thrive on really pushing your buttons and making you hate the villain.
Michel Gondry
You can't feel sorry for a scene. If the movie works without the scene, then you don't need the scene.
Michel Gondry
I find, surprisingly, that actors are liberated in their work if there's stuff going on around them, because they can't think too much about who they're supposed to be.
Michel Gondry
Every great idea is on the verge of being stupid.
Michel Gondry
If people don't like the trailer, then blame it on the people who made the trailer.
Michel Gondry
I like the days when all the filmmakers had was a film roll, a camera and a gangster. The Mack Sennett comedies were all like that. They'd create little teams to go out and shoot films.
Michel Gondry
If you take a child from South Africa and you put them in Boston, they're going to speak with a Boston accent. And so, that's a way to see the world as everybody is equal, not as a result of politics, but as human beings.
Michel Gondry
It's part of my job to maintain the emotional reality and the naturalism even when the atmosphere is contrived.
Michel Gondry
All these gadgets, the phone and the computer, they expose the inside of your brain in a way that's bad.
Michel Gondry
I don't call cut between the takes - it's my way to help the actor keep focused. As soon as you say 'cut' you have 10 people jumping on them and everybody's trying to do a great job, and they do, but sometimes they forget that the more important thing is the performance, creating the performance.
Michel Gondry
I had a lot of encouragement and tolerance from my parents, but I also have many friends who didn't get that from their parents and in a way they have more strength from spending years where nobody believed in them.
Michel Gondry
I've dreamed a lot, but i'm not a very good sleeper.
Michel Gondry
I've always loved 3D. In fact, as a kid, I was exposed to 3D at an early age because my grandfather was a specialist of 3D in cinematheques. And then my cousin put it in 'Science of Sleep' with toilet paper tube cities. But he was a specialist and I always wanted to do something in 3D.
Michel Gondry
The beauty of doing film is that you construct whatever you do block by block and you can build something that will stay.
Michel Gondry
Since I was a kid, I've liked to see how things are done. Sometimes when you see how things are done, it's like watching a 'making of' within the story. You see the physical aspect, the construction of things.
Michel Gondry
My father had a Super 8 camera when I was a kid and sometimes he would use it. I did some animation with it. I did a lot of flipbooks.
Michel Gondry
I want to see abstract art move. Especially in the '30s, you had animators doing innovative work, and I was entranced by that. It's basically what you see when you close your eyes, when you fall asleep.
Michel Gondry
The first dolly track was somebody who had the idea to put the camera on a boat on a canal. So the boat would move very slowly but steadily. So they would see all that surrounds you and you'd see the landscape changing slowly. So that was the first time.
