(Subtitle: December 18, 1970 John Lennon and Yoko Ono introduced the film to the world.)
John Lennon himself liked the film so much that he introduced the film to Elgin Cinema and said: You will see to a great movie. At midnight, the movie theater played the movie for the first time, and the movie was not offline for a year, and was still played at midnight.
This man is after a spirit, he is after peace, and when he does that, everything becomes a disaster. This kind of fantasy film cannot be separated from violence; the terrible and the beautiful are always inseparable. When I represented blood in the movie Mole, I was expressing a force of life.
The New York Times had many negative reviews of the film at first, and then they received many letters from readers criticizing it, so the editor took a whole page to re-examine and praise the film, which is very important for the New York Times. For the first time, he changed his stance after publishing an article, especially since the public backlash changed all that. (Newspaper review, subtitle: Amazing Western! Full of gore! A great movie! Strong visual impact! Incredible, unforgettable! A masterpiece!)
I don't know why people like this movie, just Personally I can't explain it, I just made such a movie and that's it.
I love having sex, (laughter...) It's my inspiration, I've had sex with all the girls I've ever liked! Because to them, I was like a hero, but after one night it was all over, I was a man after all.
I like all those things that are not normal, all those things that are imagined, like monsters from the imagination of human nature, an imagination that exists in genes.
Carrying a guy says a lot, my dad was terrified of being gay especially when his brother was like that, he never wanted to touch me because there shouldn't be physical contact between men. My father has never been intimate with me. When I was six years old, we went to the beach together one day. A few kilometers from our town, the car broke down and he had to carry me on his back. On his shoulders, after walking about three or four miles, I sat on his shoulders the whole time, and this was the only physical contact I ever had with him.
Dad was a horrible person to me, and I used to hate him. The quarrel between me and Alan Kling was really about taking out my hatred for my father on Alan. Thirty years after that, the film never had a chance to come out, and it was also because of our quarrel, between me and Allen, and then I suggested, or he, his son and daughter, let us reconcile, When I held his hand, I suddenly felt a strong relief from the repression of these years, and it was a great happiness to turn an enemy into a friend. This is a miracle for me, it gives me a new understanding of the world, we can change the world, we can stop the war, since two people can stop the conflict between them, so can two countries.
The world is sick, and we need to create films that can heal the world. If art is not a good medicine for society, then it is poison.
When I made this film, I was a body moving towards life, now, I am a body away from life, and I will not live long, since I am away from life, I will not send others Too much, all I can give is to myself, and what I can't give, I will ignore it.
