In this older clip from 2015, Alex Garland identifies why fandom is so divided when it comes to liking or disliking a film. It still applies today! (It sounds like he’s fully prepared to deal with any Annihilation haters. 😂)
“When you write a story, what you’re actually doing is writing half the story. And the other half of the story is provided by the recipient - you or whoever else, and their agendas and their interests and their lack of interest. People are very selective about what they choose to see or don’t choose to see in a story. One person might find a story very rich, and another person might find the story very empty - but it’s the same story.”
“If you think of the number of nuances and ambiguities that exist within a story, it’s just like off the charts in terms of the amount of interpretation you can place on that. So, your version where you’re not interested in that - for me, it’s complete and legitimate - I mean, properly legitimate. I have no discomfort or anything with that at all. I guess it’s that - it’s aimed at the audience member who is going in there in a slightly bristling way because he knows all about Blade Runner, and he knows the tropes of sci-fi, and he kind of wants to second-guess everything. And it’s almost like an aggressive audience member who’s hunting. Other people are just happy to let the story unfold and take it where it wants to go.” ~ Alex Garland
