Дэвид Финчер цитаты

„Всякий, кто смотрит по сторонам, чтобы достичь гармонии, — идиот или серьезно болен.“

„Я в ответе за то, как я заставляю зрителей себя чувствовать, и мне хочется, чтобы они чувствовали себя неуютно.“

„Не уверен, что кино должно развлекать. Мне интереснее кино, которое ранит. Я люблю «Челюсти» за то, что с 75 года не купаюсь в океане.“

„Мне хочется делать кино, которое действовало бы на зрителя так, как я задумывал. А не кино, на которое онанировали бы серийные убийцы.“

„Когда мне исполнилось 8 лет, я попросил у родителей в подарок духовой пистолет или восьмимиллиметровую камеру. Они ни за что не подарили бы мне пистолет.“

„После тридцати пяти не остается правды. Только разные степени вранья.“

Дэвид Финчер цитаты

„Самосовершенствование — онанизм. Я в этом совершенно уверен.“

„В нашем районе киноиндустрию никогда не воспринимали как что-то недосягаемое. Чувак, живший через дом от нас и каждый день выходивший в халате за газетой, был Джорджем Лукасом.“

„Я уверен, что некоторые люди снимаются в кино, только чтобы получать в ресторанах столики получше.“

„Я не уверен в том, что кино должно развлекать. Меня всегда завораживают те фильмы, которые пугают зрителя. Я обожаю «Челюсти», потому что после них никогда не полезу в океан.“

„Говорят, дескать, есть миллион способов снять ту или иную сцену. Я так не считаю. Максимум — два. Причем один из них неправильный.“

“I want to make a movie that has enough impact that it's going to do what it needs to do. But I don't want to make a film that serial killers masturbate to.”

Дэвид Финчер: Цитаты на английском языке

“I don't have the Tom Hanks fans. When you make the kind of movies I make, you get weird letters from people.”

About the film, Zodiac
The Curious Case of David Fincher (2007)

“There are some movies I can watch over and over, never get sick of. I'll put one of those on and be puttering around the house. Then a certain scene will come on and I'll just have to go over and watch.”

The Curious Case of David Fincher (2007)

“You can do something that walks a line, and invariably, whatever that line is, it will be crossed by people who don't know any better and want to ape the success.”

A Talk With David Fincher (1999)

“I find it amoral if you're making a movie where the problem is solved with a guy standing in the back of pickup truck firing a machine at the bad guys. The morality of it is questionable because the repercussions of violence are incredibly far-reaching.”

The Curious Case of David Fincher (2007)

“You have a responsibility for the way you make the audience feel, and I want them to feel uncomfortable.”

Fightin Words (1999)

“Entertainment has to come hand in hand with a little bit of medicine. Some people go to the movies to be reminded that everything's okay. I don't make those kinds of movies. That, to me, is a lie. Everything's not okay.”

The Curious Case of David Fincher (2007)

“You can either look at your career as the things you're going to leave behind, and they have to be executed flawlessly and you have to know exactly what it is that you're doing. Or you can be realistic about the fact that you're going to learn as you practice what you do.”

The Curious Case of David Fincher (2007)

“I thought it was so strange because I normally make these pitch-black studies of misanthropes or the occasional movie about serial killers, sowhat could the possibly see in this material for me.”

About the film, The Social Network
The Curious Case of David Fincher (2007)

“I do like movies that take a toll on the audience. I want to work the subconscious. I want to involve you in ways in which you might not necessarily want to get involved. I want to play off those things that you're expecting to get when the lights go down and the 20th Century Fox logo comes up. There's an audience expectation and I'm interested in how movies play with--and off--that expectation. That's what I'm interested in.”

2011 Golden Globe Award Ceremony (2011)

“Oh, yeah, I love DVD's. I don't have what you'd call an extensive collection, maybe a couple of hundred or so. But I have something on almost all the time.”

Fightin Words (1999)

“Hollywood is great. I also think it's stupid and small-minded and shortsighted. I'm sure there are people who get into movies so they can get nice tables at restaurants.”

A Talk With David Fincher (1999)

“A stylized version of our IKEA present. It is talking about very simple concepts. We're designed to be hunters and we're in a society of shopping. There's nothing to kill anymore, there's nothing to fight, nothing to overcome, nothing to explore. In that societal emasculation this everyman is created.”

The Curious Case of David Fincher (2007)

“You know, I don't think I've ever listened to someone's commentary. Ever.”

About Fight Club
Gavin Smith goes one-on-one with David Fincher (1999)

“The movie is not that violent. There are ideas in the movie that are scary, but the film isn't about violence, the glorification of violence or the embracing of violence. In the movie, violence is a metaphor for feeling. It's a film about the problems or requirements involved with being masculine in today's society.”

A Talk With David Fincher (1999)

“As much as people pretend 'I fit in, I understand, I get the rules,' there are always times spent away from that where you go, 'I thought I knew. It seemed so clear to me, and then…' That sense of loneliness, or the sense of not fitting in or being out of depth, is probably the most common denominator.”

Fightin Words (1999)

“Film-making encompasses everything, from tricking people into investing in it, to putting on the show, to trying to distill down to moments in time, and ape reality but send this other message. It's got everything. When I was a kid I loved to draw, and I loved my electric football sets, and I painted little things and made sculptures and did matte painting and comic books and illustrated stuff, and took pictures, had a darkroom, loved to tape-record stuff. It's all of that. It's not having to grow up. It's four-dimensional chess, it's strategy, and it's being painfully honest, and unbelievably deceitful, and everything in between.”

The Curious Case of David Fincher (2007)

“For me, the scariest thing about a serial killer is that there's somebody who lives next door to you, running power tools late into the night, and you don't know he has a refrigerator full of penises.”

Gavin Smith goes one-on-one with David Fincher (1999)

“Thank you to the stellar collection of photographers, designers, editors, musicians, costumers, painters, researchers, electricians and craftspeople who without whom I'd just be a bitter man with a lot of opinions”

The Curious Case of David Fincher (2007)

“Violence shouldn't be presented as drama. I think people looking for an easy way out often write scenes where characters come into violent conflict as opposed to looking for the true drama in the situation. That's a shortcoming of a lot of films and television shows. I think certain presentations of violence are not immoral, but amoral.”

2011 Golden Globe Award Ceremony (2011)

“I always feel ill-prepared for commentaries and it had been so long I was afraid I'd forget everything that happened on the film. But having everybody come together for it was really great. It was like a high school reunion. We all reminisced and just had a great time.”

Fightin Words (1999)

“I tend to over-intellectualize things, to come at them from a structural point.”
