Quoted from ROBERT J. ELISBERG'S interview with Anthony Minghella from
www.huffingtonpost.com (first published at www.wga.org website)below is a small part of the interview the Oscar-winning director gave.

WGA: What sort of stories and characters interest you?
AM: I'm interested in stories which insist on a dog fails-to-eat-dog kind of world. I hate misanthropy, want to believe that there's a possibility that we might all be redeemed, that hope deferred makes the soul sick, that our humanity is fragile, funny, common, crazy, full of the longing for love, the failure of love. I want to tell stories which require something of an audience, by way of thought, argument, emotion, because I'm more often in an audience than I am a maker of films, and that's the kind of movie I want to see.
