- Thanks a lot for posting this interview!
-
- I'm really glad to see that Mr Chung's ideas about Aeon Flux were more
- down-to-earth, in a way, and not as flighty and self-obsessed as some others
- in r.a.a. were making them out to be.
-
- The film was a great piece of work, and worked exactly as he described it--
- with characters and events so absurd that you don't know who is supposed to
- be "good" and who's supposed to be "bad" (He said "moral vacuum," which is
- a good way of describing it, I think.) It was a parody of action/adventure
- movies, not a heartfelt, poignant statement on the depravity and ignorance
- of people who enjoy violent action/adventure movies.
-
- (I feel kind of like Woody Allen in "Annie Hall." I've been vindicated.
- For once, real life DOES work out like this.)
