“I think it would’ve been a little bit hypocritical, because Far Cry 3 was asking the question, ‘What makes you play this FPS instead of spending time with your family and going out into the real world?’ Jeffrey muses. “It gave you the ability to experience that question, to live it, but for me breaking away was my truth,Tory Burch Nylon Ella Tote, and that’s why I don’t really play games like that much anymore. If I continued to make that kind of an experience… for me the gameplay tells a story, and the gameplay would’ve told the same story over and over and over. So yeah, maybe it could’ve been like The Twilight Zone and it would’ve been a different version of that same story set in a completely different way,Www Christian Louboutin Com, but it would’ve been that story.”
That’s good, I think, because I’d been wondering if Ubi had gotten mad at him.
“No, the game was successful, but I took a big risk where not everyone knew, and it was a… I thought a ‘punk’ move,” Jeffrey says. “I don’t know if you saw the movie, Exit Through The Gift Shop?”
Banksy is love, Banksy is light.
“That and a movie called A History of Violence by Cronenberg,” Jeffrey continues, “those two movies were the touchstones for me for Far Cry 3. And so both of them… A History of Violence takes you through a generic action movie,Kate Spade Bags Uk, but it does so in a very self-aware, interesting, fascinating way where it’s constantly contradicting itself. It’s kind of attacking the audience, a little bit like Requiem For a Dream attacks the audience repeatedly.

"In Requiem, it’s almost like the director is saying, ‘You want a PSA? I’ll give you a PSA.’ You know, like a Public Service Announcement for an anti-drug campaign? It’s like Requiem For a Dream is this hilarious over-the-top satire of a PSA that culminates in the gigantic montage of hell. I don’t know if you remember that scene, with Jennifer Connelly, and the guy getting his arm sawn off, the mother getting electroshock…”
Ass to ass. It is an unfairly well-regarded film, I tell Jeffrey. According to a guy who looks like me, the reality of drug abuse is so far removed from Requiem’s fantasia the distance between them is motley farce for the masses. In short, ridiculous.
“Oh, totally,” Jeffrey almost shouts. “I seriously laughed through most of that movie because it’s so ridiculous. As you said, if the movie were engaging at a serious level with this topic, to me it would be very different. That’s what I thought was the joke. For me, his films – especially like, Pi – are intended as a tax on the audience. It’s about torturing the audience. Then Black Swan became about condemning the audience, Natalie Portman sacrifices her mind and herself to an audience onscreen, and in The Wrestler Mickey Rooney kills himself in service to the audience at his wrestling match. His latest films have kind of moved… [Darren] Aronofsky’s moved from attacking the audience to attacking the concept of an audience. 'Here we are now, entertain us.'"
It’s true. Jeffrey Yohalem wanted to attack you.
Good times.
