I inspired him to write and direct his first feature: MountainheadA movie about three technical billionaires and their lowest richer and very safe friend, all of whom have a lot of strength at their disposal.

“I couldn’t get … the voice of technology, the voice of the technology man, the billionaire, from my head,” said Armstrong, noting that this voice embodies the “higher confidence in their analytical abilities” and “arrogance”.

“At a certain stage, I said to Jesse, if you want us to say anything additional, do you have a radio or a dictionary,” said Schwartmann. “It seems as if you were making a movie in French and then improvised something in Italian.”

While Armstrong admits that some people may interact with his last project through the question, “Why should I care about these rich hills?”

“I feel some sympathy for the real people who wrestle with some of this technique, because it is a little mirror hall,” says Armstrong. “Many people, especially Amnesty International, go with a sense of technology, and I think, as much as I can say, a real feeling of responsibility.”
