- Danny Boyle said "The opening should announce as much ambition as possible."
- John Schelsinger "A good sharp shock is sometimes a good idea."
- However JJ. Beineix said that immediate gratification is wat we want, and sometimes we should just "accept to wait".
- Thomas Sutcliffe says that the reason that film openings need to be hard hitting is because they are the first point of engagement with the audience, and it is teaching them how to watch the film.
- For example, David Fincher's Se7en opening "hits you over the head".
