It's all a weird discussion of how movies affect us.»
Author: Sam Mendes
«There'll always be a section of a war movie that gets people pumped up in the same way there will always be men who will want to go to war, ... There is something that entices them there, that can be found in no other walk of life.»
Author: Sam Mendes
