Michael Mann Interview For "Collateral"

[Pacimpersonator]

I love Michael Mann movies. He is very artistic and genuinely crafted with every movie he makes. Which makes him on my top ten list.:)

[superfob54]

Looks like Mike knew he was dealing with a dumb fuck here.

Interviewer didn't seem like the smartest cookie in the pack.

I love the way Michael Mann uses his visuals as a reflection on what

The movie is about. Collateral to me is about what

To do in the next

Steps of executing

The perfect goal.:)

[TheDM75]

I love the visuals in his movies, brilliant.

The way Michael Mann is able to create shootout scenes is by far some of the best in the world when it comes to the realism of it. From what I understand he uses real guns with blanks?

[Pacimpersonator]

Finally a director with some visions of His own. I never Would Think that a director quite Like Michael Mann would Be as open Minded About His films as He Was in this interview.:)

[Pacimpersonator]

I thought that this film

Collateral was by

Far one of the best

Films of

The decade.:)

Thanks for posting this. I find interesting what he said about the metaphor for Thief - the character Frank is like a "rat in a machine."

Some of the common underlying themes among certain of Mann's movies include characters metaphorically trying to escape the constraints of ordinary space and time; and the Holy Spirit moving at the beginning of creation. I'm not sure about Collateral because I didn't see it yet, I'm mainly talking about Thief and Manhunter, and The Keep to some extent.

Collateral is an awesome movie.

Michael Mann is an awesome director.

And this was an awesome interview!

Great job!

[rodigo1]

He needs an Oscar, even if they are overrated.

His filmography is top fucking notch.

One of the best directors especially for detail. He tells you everything about the film making in great detail. Brilliant, love his voice.

[SKiLLeDcs]

I thought collateral was one hell of a good movie. Definitely underrated. Tom Cruise's character was bad ass.

[kingelnino9]

A truly great director, one of the greatest of all time.
