Frases de John Carpenter

John Howard Carpenter é um realizador, argumentista, produtor, editor e compositor de cinema estadunidense. Apesar de Carpenter ter trabalhado em vários géneros de cinema, está mais associado aos filmes do género de terror e de ficção científica dos anos de 1970 e 1980.Grande parte dos filmes da carreira de Carpenter foram fracassos tanto a nível critico como comercial, exceptuando notavelmente Halloween , Escape from New York e Starman . No entanto, muitos dos seus filmes de 1970 e de 1980 como Dark Star , Assault on Precinct 13 , The Fog , The Thing , Christine , Big Trouble in Little China , Prince of Darkness e They Live tornaram-se desde então clássicos cult, e Carpenter por conseguinte, reconhecido como um cineasta influente.

Carpenter também se tornou notável por ter composto grande parte da banda sonora dos seus filmes; algumas dessas são hoje em dia consideradas bandas sonoras de culto, com o tema principal da Halloween a ser visto como parte da cultura popular. O seu primeiro álbum de estúdio, Lost Themes, foi lançado em 2015 e o seu filme Vampires ganhou um Premio Saturn para Melhor Música. Wikipedia

John Carpenter: Frases em inglês

“I staggered through my career and came out the other end, alive. I made some films that meant something to me. In my opinion, they weren’t all great, and they weren’t all successful, but they sure were ‘me’. And this is what I was going through or thinking or feeling as a director at the time, and I’m very proud of them. A lot of great directors just never had the chance to have their work appreciated and celebrated and watched, all these years after they were made. So, man, what do you want out of life? It’s great!”

The Den of Geek interview: John Carpenter http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/halloween/13379/the-den-of-geek-interview-john-carpenter (June 3, 2008)

“There were two times in my life that inspired me the most. The first was when I was a kid, probably the most emotionally influential time, when you’re naïve and innocent. I went to movie theaters and fell in love with genre films in the 1950s, when there was a big wave of monster movies. My passion came from the young guy who was watching The Fly back in 1958. Then, going to USC I began to watch movies in a different way and was exposed to different kinds of movies, foreign films. We had directors like Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock, Howard Hawks and John Ford come down and lecture us. It was unbelievable!”
