Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu Quotes

'21 Grams' is only one story told by three different points of view, but they are really physically connected - literally, with the heart.
'Amores Perros' is rock, '21 Grams' is jazz, 'Babel' is an opera, and 'Biutiful' is a requiem.
'Amores Perros' is three stories that interconnect in one moment, which is the car accident.
'Babel' is about the point of view of others. It literally includes points of views as experienced from the other side. It is not about a hero. It is not about only one country. It is a prism that allows us to see the same reality from different angles.
'Birdman' came from a very beautiful side of me, from a part of honesty and surrender about things.
'Biutiful' is a tough film. It doesn't make concessions to the vulgarity of light entertainment. It's not the kind of film that you see every day in the Cineplex. But as an artist, it's the thing that I needed to do.
'Biutiful' is not about death. It's about life. It's a hymn to life.
'Ikiru' is existential but with a lot of tenderness.

As a city, it is always compelling. But every day in Mexico City, I give thanks that I am alive.
As a Third World citizen, I always feel that I need to express my point of view. Sometimes the points of view of Third World countries are never expressed. We don't have that possibility, sometimes, to spread what we feel and how we see things.
As the camera, I try to subordinate every word to be truthful and honest to each character's context.
