Quote by David R. Ellis

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of understanding the tone of a movie when depicting violent scenes. If the film is intended to be humorous, like in the case of Home Alone, the violence can be portrayed in a comedic manner.

This suggests that violence should not be detached from the overall context and should enhance the storytelling while remaining consistent with the film's desired vibe.

The Chinese said of themselves several thousand years ago: China is a sea that salts all the waters that flow into it. Theres another Chinese saying about their country which is much more modernit dates only from the fourth century. This is the saying: The tail of China is large and will not be wagged. I like that one. The British democracy approves the principles of movable party heads and unwaggable national tails. It is due to the working of these important forces that I have the honour to be addressing you at this moment.
