The movie [Aquarius] is about love, ultimately, and it was made with love. There were a lot of parents in the crew, and they were the best crew I had ever worked with. Everybody knew the construction of each scene, and were completely invested in every shooting day.
I think of a movie as a human body. You can feel the pump of the heart and the blood going through the veins when you watch that scene.
These 150-minute superhero films that Hollywood is making are so concerned with their length that each scene doesn't have the time it needs to make sense.
Ultimately, you just have to do what feels right for the film. It really helps when you have great collaborators like my editor, Eduardo Serrano, who kept telling me various scenes should be longer.
I didn't want to overstate anything, but at the same time, the scene expands on some of the themes in the film [ "Aquarius"].
