I Imagine The Film ["300"] As If

[writing Something Original From Scratch], The Initial Process Is Way Different. But Once It Exists And You Start To Actually Work On Making It Real, Then The Approach Is Kind Of The Same, For Me Anyways.

You Know It Has All The Kind Of Fun Stuff. It Has The Countermeasures - We Always Talk About The Countermeasures Because People Are Like, "what The Heck Is Countermeasures?" You Know If I Shot A Missile At It, Flares Would Pop Out Of Those Holes And Stop The Missile From Hitting It.

You Can't Teach Anyone. You Can't Tell Anyone. That's The Thing You Have To Sit Down And Experience In Order For It To Mean Anything. You Can't Intellectualize It. It's Like Why Movies Are Cool. It's A Combination Of Pictures And Design And Acting And Music Can Create An Experience That Is Outside Of The Experience That You Can Actually Have In Reality, Which Gets To My Motion Picture Philosophy. People Are Like, 'aren't You Trying To Make The Movies As Real As You Can?'

You Can't Will Something Into Being. If You Follow That Philosophy All The Way, To Will Something Into Being, That's Animal Style. That's What Man Does. But If You're Looking At The Philosophy Correctly, And I Never Did - I Like To Think I Did Sometimes - You Have To Do It Without Ego, Without The I. You Have To Separate Yourself.

For Whatever Reason I Was Always Obsessed With The Potential Of Humanity's Physicality. Especially Since We Grew Up With Such A Non-physical Philosophy.
