Military preparedness is absolutely a form of strength.
We cannot stop natural disasters but we can arm ourselves with knowledge: so many lives wouldn't have to be lost if there was enough disaster preparedness.
I have done many movies that people hadn't seen. 'The Fountain ' I spent a year on that. 'The Prestige' with Chris Nolan and 'Australia.' From my perspective it's very satisfying. Some movies people see and other movies they don't. 'Wolverine ' 'X Men ' I know that in some level people know me just for that and it's fine for me.
