"It was the
1969 feature film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid that crystallised the
dream of a career in cinema for the young David Fincher. 'I saw a documentary
on the making of Butch Cassidy and I saw it when I was about eight and a half.
It had never occurred to me before then that movies weren't made in real time,
that there was a real job to make a movie. It just seemed to me that if it took
place over three days, it took three days to shoot. The documentary that I saw
was narrated by the director, George Roy Hill - I think it's actually on the
DVD of the 25th anniversary edition of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid - and
it just was kind of amusing as he talked about the different processes. He was
talking about this behind the scenes footage and talking about why he chose the
people and that they had to shoot stuff in slow motion to make the explosion
look bigger, and all these things that I had just never thought about. The
documentary talked you through the whole thing, and I was kind of like,
"Wow! These are adults building full-scale balsa-wood trains, just to blow
them up! How do you get involved in that?" From that point on I was
thinking, "That would be a good job."'
