Don’t let what anyone else tells you influence your opinion. Then it’s not your opinion.

I love to watch movies as blind as possible, and just let myself be surprised by the story and the filmmaking aspects.

I recommend isolating yourself as much as possible so that your attention is immersed in the film. Make the room dark and silence your phone. This is why I love going to the cinema so much. It’s much easier to isolate and lose myself in the film.

Star Wars for me is just so boring.

I think there’s some creative ideas in it and The Empire Strikes Back is a pretty decent movie. But none of them are incredible.

Every minute of LotR is incredible to me. The filmmaking is just insane, and the story is much more potent. Movies like this rarely get made.

Funny story about me first seeing The Return of the King.

The first time I saw any of it I was definitely too young. I knew I wasn’t allowed to watch it, but my brother was watching it and so I sat on a stool in the hallway and literally watched through a tiny crack in the door. I saw the scene of Sam and Frodo trying to climb mount doom, and perhaps some of the confrontation in the centre of the volcano.

Then when it finally came time for me to actually be allowed to watch it, my mum didn’t want me to see the very first scene. So we skipped it and I saw the rest.

Literally as soon as we finished I downloaded the movie onto my iPod nano and I watched the whole movie again, including the first scene.

I still have chills watching that scene.
