Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater spoke about the risks of taking risks at the Berlin Film Festival press conference on Tuesday, saying when money is preferred This decreases when graded.
"The audience has to care. They don't sell. You, the community, have to make it important. In order for the offensive art to have a place in our conversation, we have to care about it," Hawke said. "When we prioritize money at all costs, we get universal material that attracts the most people, and we're told it's the best. This is the dance we all do together. If you like offensive art and want to To it, ask for it. Now, people think they won’t make money from it, so they won’t make money.”
The idea of “offensive art” is the theme of “Blue Moon”, which follows the lyric poet Lorenz Hart (Hawke), a former creative partner of Richard Rodgers, who is in "Oklahoma!' The first musical with Hammerstein. After opening night, Hart criticized the show for being rude and too satisfied with the ending.
Linklater added: "Offensive time may elicit the idea of offensive art. But movies are especially escapism, in our films, he accuses "Oklahoma! "Become an escapist in the midst of the horror of World War II. So I don't know, I think most people have a mental desire to escape. Now, there is probably less offensive art than in the past."
Since 2014's "Childhood," Blue Moon has marked Hawke and Linklater's first film. With Hawke as Hart, Blue Moon is also Andrew Scott, playing Rodgers, Margaret Qualley Playing Elizabeth Weiland and Bobby Cannavale, it is bartender Eddie.
Hawke and Linklater have co-produced eight feature films over their careers, including the "Previous" trilogy, "Newton Boys" and "Fast Food Country." During his speech at the Venice Film Festival last year, Hawke discussed their collaboration and the origins of "Blue Moon", saying Linklater wanted to make a movie 12 years ago, but said the actor was "still attractive."
"He's like, 'It's cool, we're going to do that, but we need to wait a little while." Why do we need to wait a little while? He said: "You're still too attractive. We have to wait until your attractiveness is reduced. I was like, "What are you talking about?" "Hauck said. "He was like, 'Just trust me. Let's put it in the drawer, and every few years, let's read it and see if we're ready. '"
"Blue Moon" premiered at the Berlin Film Festival on Tuesday night.
