London: Hollywood legend Robert Redford is against compiling behind-the-scene footage of a film in DVDs - he thinks giving fans access to cinema secrets ruins "the magic" of the movie.
The `Way We Were` star insisted that film lovers shouldn`t be given documentaries of the process behind making a movie because it detracts from their enjoyment, reported Contactmusic. "I`m just a purist. I never ascribed that you should have a documentary about the making of a film. Films were meant to be a kind of magic that transplants you somewhere else because you can use your imagination and not have everything spelled out about this trick," said Redford. Ironically, the 73-year-old actor-director made the comments while promoting the Blu-ray launch of his 1984 movie `The Natural`, which boasts interesting facts about the making of the film. PTI
