Do we root for Michael Corleone in the 'Godfather' films? I think so, even if he is a monster.
Cinema for me only has meaning when it has a relationship with what I see outside on the street.
I really believe the form of the film must be in the scenario; cinema is not just added value to the scripting. I believe in it as a totality.
The cinema, as literature, as all the plastic arts, do not exist outside of a critical system that allows us to study them.
If you look at American studios, the big productions have nothing to do with reality.
