I spent about a year and a half doing technical post work on ‘The Fountain’. Although I do like the process, I think my favorite part of filmmaking is the actors.

Darren Aronofsky

Also expressionistic filmmaking – making the audience feel like they were inside the characters’ heads. And so we create all these different types of techniques to put the audience there.

Character Different Technique
For too long we have been taking, and the Earth has been giving. But that free-for-all, that all-you-can-eat buffet, it’s over. The salad bar is closed.

Bars Giving Long
These wrestlers aren’t organized. They have no union, no pension and no insurance. You meet wrestler after wrestler who sold out Madison Square Garden ten years ago, basically running on fumes today. There’s a lot of drama there.

Drama Garden Insurance Running
I feel that so many sci-fi films and films in general have just become really dependent on and addicted to CGI, and that some of the big CGI films of the summer, you see these effects that look like crap.

Fall Real Summer
I’ve tried to take a chance with every film I’ve done – I’ve never done it the easy way, and I think that’s because that’s what excites me, is making as big a mountain as I can in front of me, and just trying to mount it.

Challenge Done Easy Front Trying
I think I came to film-making through writing. I started to write, and people, teachers, responded to my writing.

Teacher Thinking Writing
The whole visual language of the movie is developed way before we get to set.

I think it’s my nature to try and make original content, and that’s what I’ve done, is just try and approach things in an original way, and do things differently.

Done Thinking Trying
I’ve been joking that if Madonna taught us anything, you’ve got to reinvent yourself. I think it’s important as a filmmaker, as any person working in the arts, that you’ve got to try new stuff and challenge yourself and take chances.

The ’90s were a party, I mean definitely maybe not for the grunge movement, but people were partying harder in the ’90s than they were in the ’80s. The ’90s was Ecstasy, the ’80s was yuppies.

Definitely Mean Party People
CGI means, just to be clear, creating any type of image with a computer. Basically, starting off with nothing, or with images and manipulating them.

Creating Growing Mean
If you think of that, as a parent, you know that if you have too much justice and you’re too strict, you destroy a child. If you have too much mercy, as a parent, you destroy a child as well. A big part of this movie is Noah finding mercy for man.

Child Justice Mercy Parent Part
I’m Godless. And so I’ve had to make my God, and my God is narrative filmmaking, which is — ultimately what my God becomes, which is what my mantra becomes, is the theme.
