:21:06
This movie is essentially based
:21:09
on the attempt to make
cinematic discourse hyperrealistic.
:21:13
And to do that,
:21:17
we concentrated our efforts
:21:21
on our wish to be credible.
:21:26
In other movies,
:21:28
like Argento's or Fulci's,
which I did later on,
:21:34
there was no such requirement.
:21:38
On the contrary,
there was a wish,
:21:41
from the cinematographer, and
of course from the director,
:21:45
to create a filmic discourse
:21:48
full of effects,
of suggestions...
:21:53
Way beyond credibility.
:21:55
Cannibal Holocaust,
on the other hand, is based
:21:59
on the idea
:22:02
of making the images
shot by the youths
:22:05
credible.
:22:11
It is sometimes cynical
:22:13
to witness a certain nastiness,
:22:17
certain natural instincts
:22:20
that we bear inside us,
unfortunately.
:22:23
The most negative instincts.
:22:26
But it attracts people.
:22:30
Listen,
:22:31
if I was a hypocrite, I'd say:
'One shouldn't hurt animals'.
:22:36
Back then,
I didn't give a damn.
:22:39
It was functional for the movie.
:22:43
I'm not a relentless defenser.
I do not maltreat them,
:22:48
but still I eat meat.
:22:52
I support those who defend them
and care less about humans.
:22:57
And so...
:22:59
At some point,
I had to kill a boar.
