Explore Rocky’s impact, JFK analysis, and Commando’s influence on his personal growth and cinema’s transformative power on him. Matthew Hope also discuss the making of the Joe Millson starrer Empire Of Lies.
- Rocky – Matthew Hope says he saw Rocky for the first time when he was eight and it is the film that got him started on his journey to becoming a filmmaker.
- JFK – Matthew Hope says he was 15 when he saw JFK and it is a film that is crammed with so much information and yet is never boring. Even more so, it was evidence that film can change things. JFK led to the Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992 that promised classified documents would be released 25 years later.
- Commando – Matthew Hope says he was eleven years old when he saw Commando on VHS at home. It is absurd but what’s not to love about Arnie running around with big guns killing all the bad guys. Hardly any plot. Zero character development. Just one action sequence after another.
