Ice Age Cave Art:...
Where's the landscape features? Where's the weaponry? Where's the daily life? Did nobody look up at the sky? You know? And so I think that, personally, and this is what we're starting to dig into now, I think a lot of these geometric signs might actually be representational, as well.

Quote examples
Scott Derrickson
American Director
I really love horror novels, horror films, that are pointing at deeper ideas and thematic meaning. It's a way of thinking about films differently; that's what I think I like the most about it. I love the fact that's it's pointing at a more mysterious world - that the world is more of a mysterious place than we tend to let ourselves believe.
Quote examples
Ransom Riggs
American Writer

Quote examples

Simon McBurney
English Actor
Endgame' resists narrative and even thematic explanation. How you play it has to reflect this. If you decide something too much in advance, you forget the element that gives the play life - the audience.

However, there's no theme or concept behind Heathen, just a number of songs but somehow there is a thread that runs through it that is quite as strong as any of my thematic type albums.
