More From Michael Douglas

I love actors and i understand what has to happen within a scene. any scene is an acting scene and actors never act alone, so there has to be an interchange. if it's a dialog scene, if it's a love scene, it doesn't matter because you need to establish a situation.
Acting Needs Actors
What i don't like is when i see stuff that i know has had a lot of improv done or is playing around where there's no purpose to the scene other than to just be funny. what you don't want is funny scene, funny scene, funny scene, and now here's the epiphany scene and then the movie's over.
Purpose Done Want
What is a scene? a) a scene starts and ends in one place at one time (the aristotelian unities of time and place-this stuff goes waaaayyyy back). b) a scene starts in one place emotionally and ends in another place emotionally. starts angry, ends embarrassed. starts lovestruck, ends disgusted. c) something happens in a scene, whereby the character cannot go back to the way things were before. make sure to finish a scene before you go on to the next. make something happen.

Ultimately, if you think about all the youth that everybody has mentioned here in africa, if everybody is raising living standards to the point where everybody has got a car and everybody has got air conditioning, and everybody has got a big house, well, the planet will boil over - unless we find new ways of producing energy.
Thinking Air Car
When what we see catches us off guard, and when we write it as realistically and openly as possible, it offers hope. you look around and say, wow, there's that same mockingbird; there's that woman in the red hat again. the woman in the red hat is about hope because she's in it up to her neck, too, yet every day she puts on that crazy red hat and walks to town.
Crazy Writing Looks
I've begun to believe more and more that movies are all about transitions, that the key to making good movies is to pay attention to the transition between scenes. and not just how you get from one scene to the next, but where you leave a scene and where you come into a new scene. those are some of the most important decisions that you make. it can be the difference between a movie that works and a movie that doesn't.

When i went to first grade and the other children said that their fathers were farmers, i simply didn't believe them. i agreed in order to be polite, but in my heart i knew that those men were impostors, as farmers and as fathers, too. in my youthful estimation, laurence cook defined both categories. to really believe that others even existed in either category was to break the first commandment.

Any time you know you're within the law, within your legal rights, within your moral rights, in accord with justice, then die for what you believe in. but don't die alone. let your dying be reciprocal. this is what is meant by equality. what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

The majority of photographers focus on the obvious. they believe and accept what their eyes tell them, and yet eyes know nothing.

Let me end with an explanation of why i believe the move into space to be a human imperative. it seems to me obvious in too many ways to need listing that we cannot much longer depend upon our planet's relatively fragile ecosystem to handle the realities of the human tomorrow. unless we turn human growth and energy toward the challenges and promises of space, our only other choice may be the awful risk, currently demonstrable, of stumbling into a cycle of fratricide and regression which could end all chances of our evolving further or of even surviving.
