Tom Hooper Quotes

I think English film is very embarrassed by patriotism, generally Picture Quote #1

I feel connected to the Second World War because my father lost his father in that war. So, through my dad and the effect it had on him of losing his father young, I always felt connected to the war. It goes back years, but it still feels to me as if we’re completely living in it Picture Quote #1

My two great loves when I’m shooting are working with great actors and composing images Picture Quote #1

I mean, we’ve all had those dreams where, you know, we try to cry out and our voice won’t come Picture Quote #1

I appear to be drawn to iconic characters and what they reflect back to our cultures Picture Quote #1
