John Woo reflects on a career driven by action, ambition, and artistry.
He’s a great actor, but we also have a lot of things in common. We both came from very poor families, and we struggled by ourselves. When I was writing, all of the dialogue came from my heart and life experiences. When he read the dialogue, he said, “Hey, it’s my dialogue! I have these same kinds of feelings.” He had been a failure for three years. People had been laughing at him. Every one of his movies was a flop, and I was in the same situation. People were laughing at me.
Oh wait, maybe this is not a good influence for the audience. Some people might learn from the movies! Then, after that, the Gulf War happened. The war in Kuwait. This made me very angry and made me change the story. The second half is pretty much a war movie. It wasn’t like the usual criminal or gangster film. I put the biggest gun-battle scene in a hospital, which was being attacked by a huge army. They’re stuck in a war zone — like in Hanoi.The action sequences were all sort of by instinct. The opening action scene in the teahouse — we shot that before we had a story or script.
