Daytime Life: | About "The Good Mother" |
|
Mr. Nimoy started directing in the early sixties,
but was side tracked by his success as Mr. Spock.
He doesn't decide beforehand what kind of film he would like to direct and in what order.
"I don't really set out to say 'Well, the next film I do must be a comedy, the
next film I do must be a drama' but I'm probably predisposed to finding the
variety of subject matter."
The film 'The Good Mother' is "a passionate work and a very personal work". “I think I understood and felt for the process these people were put through in the story." The film stayed with the host for several days as she didn't quite know how to react. This is why Mr. Nimoy felt "intrigued about the film". "I think it is the kind of film that stays with you and I will expect you'll find that, if the pattern is true, that, as time goes on, you’ll have different insights about it; you'll react differently to certain aspects of the story." One of the reaction of the host was being angry at Mr. Nimoy, the director. |

Sue Cook: I felt very angry with you as well, actually, because I felt that the film should have made some kind of judgment against these people with their repressive conventions. Mr. Nimoy: I understand you being cross with me, but it’s society you should be cross at. I didn’t
create the circumstances, I’m just telling the story! |
