Sam Raimi

I just want to comment that I just finished the You Tube interview that I posted here because I noticed that he talked also about his other movies. Anyway, there is right now an out of context bit being discussed on Twitter in which he says that he doesn’t go crazy with this film as if it were his because it’s someone else story and he is just interpreted that story. Obviously, it’s used as proof that the studio censored his vision or something. He actually talks very fondly about Feige and co. He tells how during their first meeting he demanded a number of graphic artists for the next day if he would be the director (something he says he always do and always has to fight for against studios) and that Feige surprised him saying he won’t have that number but the double. He then reminds to the journalist that Feige was an assistant in his Spider-Man movies and learned from his way of working in those films. He also use a metaphor of him doing the Evil Dead films being comparable to playing the harmonica; Spider-Man to play in a band and Doctor Strange to being an orchestra director. So yeah, Strange is much bigger but it’s incredible that some think the Spider-Man movies were some indie little movies in which he and he alone “went crazy” doing what he wanted to do when just yesterday it was published an article about how he was sure that they didn’t wanted him for the job. Even fans were against him!

But that wasn’t actually my main comment, I wanted to say that he is soooo humble! He is asked about how he feels that Quentin Tarantino loves his work and he says that he thinks on himself like a house painter and Tarantino praising him is like if Picasso told him he liked how he painted a house!
