Dialogue should simply be a sound among other sounds, just something that comes out of the mouths of people whose eyes tell the story in visual terms. For me, the cinema is not a slice of life, but a piece of cake. There is no terror in a bang, only in the anticipation of it. Drama is life with the dull bits cut out. In the old days villains had moustaches and kicked the dog.
Audiences are smarter today.
They want an ordinary human being with failings.
