"Akira Kurasawa on the writing process and intro to his classic crime film Stray Dog. "I first wrote the screenplay of Stray Dog in the form of a novel. I am fond of the work of Georges Simenon so I adopted his style of writing novels about social crime. This process took me a little less than six weeks so I figured that Id be able to rewrite it as a screenplay in ten days or so. Far from it. It proved to be a far more difficult task than writing a scenario from scratch and it took me close to two months. But as I reflect on it its perfectly understandable that this should have happened.

"Tokyo Drifter (1966) Seijun Suzuki on why he's drawn to the yakuza genre "It's not really the genre I'm interested in but the character of the yakuza or a killer. They wander between life and death. As a character they are more interesting than normal people. They live very near death so we can describe how they die where they die and when they die. You have a wider range of possibilities than you otherwise would if you were depicting a normal person." http://www.midnighteye.com/interviews/seijun-suzuki/ http://www.midnighteye.com/interviews/seijun-suzuki/"

"A Better Tomorrow (1986) John Woo on his approach to shootouts: "When I'm making the gun battle sequences I just do it like I'm making a dancing scene" Woo said. "The body movement even the rhythm of the gunshots it sounds very much like music. I so care about the rhythm especially the gunshot the gunfire and the movement. The whole thing looks pretty much like ballet dancing." "I like movement all kinds of movement body movement or camera movement" Woo said. "I like everything on the move. It also can help the mythic quality make a scene look more beautiful and have some kind of romanticism."

"Tokyo Drifter (1966) Seijun Suzuki on whether his films are directly influenced by pop art. "When I shoot a film I often look at pictures drawings and paintings. Not just pop art but Japanese pictures as well. The reason is because I want to see the form of these pictures especially in their depiction of women. I don't really understand why it's called pop art in my case. Maybe the result of this way of working turns out to be pop art but I don't intend to make it that. It just turns out to be like pop art. To be honest the choice of colours and such there isn't much significance to them."

"Oldboy (2003) Park Chan-wook on the corridor fight as a metaphor for lifes struggles: "Being surrounded by these people and fighting with them for what feels like an eternity I felt like this was literally a metaphor for one man's life. So if we call one man's life a battle this battle-istic attitude uh there's things in life that fight with us like an illness or anything in life that threatens us or for instance an internal conflict. Well I almost saw the scene as a materialization of those things that fight with us and torture us in life. And the fatigue and loneliness that comes from this"

"Akira Kurasawa on the writing process and intro to his classic crime film Stray Dog. "I first wrote the screenplay of Stray Dog in the form of a novel. I am fond of the work of Georges Simenon so I adopted his style of writing novels about social crime. This process took me a little less than six weeks so I figured that Id be able to rewrite it as a screenplay in ten days or so. Far from it. It proved to be a far more difficult task than writing a scenario from scratch and it took me close to two months. But as I reflect on it its perfectly understandable that this should have happened.

"Tokyo Drifter (1966) Seijun Suzuki on why he's drawn to the yakuza genre "It's not really the genre I'm interested in but the character of the yakuza or a killer. They wander between life and death. As a character they are more interesting than normal people. They live very near death so we can describe how they die where they die and when they die. You have a wider range of possibilities than you otherwise would if you were depicting a normal person." http://www.midnighteye.com/interviews/seijun-suzuki/ http://www.midnighteye.com/interviews/seijun-suzuki/"

"A Better Tomorrow (1986) John Woo on his approach to shootouts: "When I'm making the gun battle sequences I just do it like I'm making a dancing scene" Woo said. "The body movement even the rhythm of the gunshots it sounds very much like music. I so care about the rhythm especially the gunshot the gunfire and the movement. The whole thing looks pretty much like ballet dancing." "I like movement all kinds of movement body movement or camera movement" Woo said. "I like everything on the move. It also can help the mythic quality make a scene look more beautiful and have some kind of romanticism."

"Tokyo Drifter (1966) Seijun Suzuki on whether his films are directly influenced by pop art. "When I shoot a film I often look at pictures drawings and paintings. Not just pop art but Japanese pictures as well. The reason is because I want to see the form of these pictures especially in their depiction of women. I don't really understand why it's called pop art in my case. Maybe the result of this way of working turns out to be pop art but I don't intend to make it that. It just turns out to be like pop art. To be honest the choice of colours and such there isn't much significance to them."

"Heat (1995) Michael Mann on the meticulous training and rehearsals behind Heats downtown shootout. "We rehearsed in detail by taking over three target ranges belonging to the L.A. County Sheriff's Department. We built a true-scale mock-up of the actual location we were using along 5th Street in downtown L.A. with flats and barriers standing in for where every parked car was going to be every mailbox every spot where De Niro Tom Sizemore and Val Kilmer were going to seek cover as they moved from station to station. Every player was trained with weapons the way somebody in the military would be"

"Le Samurai (1967) Jean Pierre Melville when he first read the script of Le Samurai to Alan Delon. 'With his elbows on his knees and his face buried in his hands Alain listened without moving until suddenly looking up to glance at his watch he stopped me- "You've been reading the script for seven and a half minutes now and there hasn't been a word of dialogue.that's good enough for me. I'll do the film. What's the title" "Le Samoura" I told him. Without a word he signed to me to follow him. He led me to his bedroom: all it contained was a leather couch and a samurai's lance sword and dagger.'""

"Oldboy (2003) Park Chan-wook on the corridor fight as a metaphor for lifes struggles: "Being surrounded by these people and fighting with them for what feels like an eternity I felt like this was literally a metaphor for one man's life. So if we call one man's life a battle this battle-istic attitude uh there's things in life that fight with us like an illness or anything in life that threatens us or for instance an internal conflict. Well I almost saw the scene as a materialization of those things that fight with us and torture us in life. And the fatigue and loneliness that comes from this"
