Narrated Quotes

(When interviewer asks if he thought he had a hit on his hands) "We had been dragged across a cheese grater, face down, for two solid years, and we thought we had the biggest money-losing film in history. Then we had our first preview screening in Minneapolis, and there was a woman sitting behind me - I had no idea who she was: a Minneapolis housewife, maybe - who narrated the entire film. She was like a Pez dispenser: everything just popped out of her mouth. I just kind of leant my chair back so I could hear what she was saying. I remember distinctly the moment when Jack and Rose are shaking hands when they are about to part, and Rose is saying, `You`re very presumptuous,` and the woman sitting behind me is saying, `Yes, but you`re not letting go of his hand, are you?` That was the moment when I knew the movie was communicating exactly the way it was meant to."

Strangely enough, I`ve always believed that my stories were mainstream stories; the films are narrated in a way that you never have a boring moment.

Filmmakers who use narrators pay a price for taking the easy way: narrated films date far more quickly than films without narrators.
