It goes back to a style of moviemaking I remember seeing as a child, in movies like The Man With The Golden Arm, which I think was shot all on a sound stage.
“'Castle' is a guy living in a fantasy world. He's in his imagination, writing these stories of murder.”
“The modern meaning of life's end-when does it end? How does it end? How should it end? What is the value of life? How do we measure it?”
