Maybe directors who are more interested in realism and naturalism come from cities, where they see things on their doorstep every day.

My parents taught me honesty, truth, compassion, kindness and how to care for people. Also, they encouraged me to take risks, to boldly go. They taught me that the greatest danger in life is not taking the adventure.
