"I'm really happy to see you, David, how does it feel?" In the spacious foyer, Adrian released Gwyneth's arm and embraced David Fincher with a smile, "Almost all the critics who attended the screening think it's too dark."
"I've always said I have some sinister thoughts that others might not expect," Fincher shrugged his shoulders, "To hell with their reviews—I would really like to say that, but I still hope more people will get to see it."
This was where Fincher differed from other independent filmmakers—especially those who always talk about art—he worked hard to maintain his own style but also considered the commercial value of his films. Just for that, he was stronger than many, but it was a delicate balance to strike, between being too stylistically intense or too commercial.
