Twisters Movie Doesn’t Reference Climate Change, Director Says Movies Shouldn’t Have A Message
The new natural disaster movie Twisters comes to theaters this Friday, but don’t expect for the film to talk about climate change. Director Lee Isaac Chung said it was important for him to avoid having Twisters come across with a message.
“I just wanted to make sure that with the movie, we don’t ever feel like (it) is putting forward any message,” he told CNN. “I just don’t feel like films are meant to be message-oriented.”
“I wanted to make sure that we are never creating a feeling that we’re preaching a message, because that’s certainly not what I think cinema should be about,” he added. “I think it should be a reflection of the world.”
