Filmografía de Mr. Morris en DXC
(...)Now, what I did, any less, any more truthful than cinema verité? I would say no more, no less truthful. Very shortly after that, I made a film in northwest Florida, named after the town in which it was shot, Vernon, Florida. A town that I can honestly say is in the middle of nowhere, equidistant from Tallahassee and Pensacola. A place where no one in his right mind would go, let alone spend a great deal of time there.
I went down there because of a story that I read in The New York Times about an insurance investigator who was chronicling the worst cases he had encountered in his 30-year career of insurance investigations. It was just a couple of lines in the article, it was mentioned in passing, a town called "Nub City" so named because of this extraordinary history of self-mutilation, people taking out insurance policies on themselves and then cutting off their arms and legs in order to collect the insurance.
It's hard to know what I was thinking, or if in fact I was thinking at all. It was impossible to make this film. It's not as if you can actually walk up to somebody who's an amputee and ask them to start explaining in great detail how they lost a leg or an arm or, in some instances, both an arm and a leg, after taking out insurance policies on themselves. They have committed a crime. They're not going to talk about it.
So the movie never got made. Although I did get beaten up by the son of a nubbie in Quincy, Florida. This is the only time that I was really beaten up, and I have to say it was unpleasant, and it hurt.
So I ended up making a very vastly different film, different film altogether. Someone described it as "philosophy in the swamp" and that might be more or less true. I discovered all of this unexpected material from the people that I found down there, and one of the issues that fascinated me was: I am now getting around to the subject of what we're supposed to be talking about here tonight, truth, the avoidance of truth and self-deception. My view is that the truth is knowable, but often that we have a vested interest in not knowing, not seeing it, disregarding it, avoiding it. Consequently, my interest in truth had two parts: an interest in the pursuit of truth and an interest in examining how people manage to avoid the truth in one way or another.(...)

(La i mayúscula y la ele minúscula son idénticas en los subtítulos del DVD, así que el subrip se hace la picha un lío y hay que corregirlo medio a mano, medio automáticamente con el subtitle workshop, pero seguro que pasé por encima de unos cuantos errores, sin verlos. Si alguien los dectecta al ver la peli y los corrige y sube a ET, pues muchas gracias. Les he quitado la cursiva, que en este caso no aporta nada. Los subtítulos en inglés no son para sordos.)Código: Seleccionar todo
