Jake Gyllenhaal: 'I Hate Preachy Message Films'

Brokeback actor doesn't like to lecture in his movies...

Wednesday 17th Oct 2007

Jake Gyllenhaal does not take on roles in his movies with obvious political messages in them because he doesn’t like being “preachy”.

The actor has starred in movies such as gay cowboy flick Brokeback Mountain and new release Rendition which deals with terrorist issues, but claims his past movies just happen to be topical.

The Oscar nominee told WENN: "It's very important for me to be in movies that don't have a message. Messages tend to be a little preachy, and I don't think that's what movies are about.
 
"It's important for me to be in movies that have a human level, have a heart in them. That's the reason why I did this (Rendition) and it just so happens to be really topical. This political issue is a very important one right now which as Americans we need to look at.
 
"So it seems like it's (the film) is very political, it seems like there's a message in it, but ultimately there's a real story about human beings dealing with actual human things."
