“The unconscious is not a pretty place, and movies are fantasies, and fantasies are exactly to tap into these things. That's what movies are for. Movies are not to be nice, or to be  

politically correct. Movies are exactly where we go to revisit things that sometimes need revisiting on an unconscious, or semi-conscious level.”
