Issues Quotes by Jose Padilha

Jose Padilha

I come from a documentary background and my natural tendency, as a filmmaker, is to make a movie, if I have something to talk about. If it’s not about anything that matters, I don’t feel like doing it. I’m not against people who make movies just for fun, but I’m not one of those guys. I just want to provoke thinking and debating about certain issues.

It’s all about this abstract entity called the story. It’s all about the best way to tell the story, and to make a movie about the issues that this story is about. Filmmaking is storytelling, for me.

The way that I sort of direct the writers is, let’s do the best story we can. Let’s not worry about production issues. ‘How much will that cost? How are we going to shoot that?’ Let’s not set up those constraints on the writing. I don’t think it helps the project to work like that.
