I don't think all films should necessarily look like they do on digital video. I think it cheats the audience, at some point. If you try to make an epic and you shoot it digitally, that doesn't make much sense. I think there's a certain kind of film that could be a "digital film."

Real-life events, in fantasy and science fiction, can take on metaphorical significance that they can't in a so-called realistic novel.
