I chose to tell a personal story. When you tell a movie like this that's as emotionally charged as this is, it's a risk. As one of my great cinematic heroes, Francis Coppola, would say, "If you aren't taking the highest, greatest risk, then why are you a filmmaker?"
If you're doing your job properly, you take the risk of feeling slightly foolish and delve in and bring out the emotions.
You either decide to take the easy way out, which means you're only going to disappoint yourself and everybody else, or you take the risk right now of being a fool, which is the only way you'll end up being exhilarated later on when you actually watch the movie.
The risk element only came from acknowledging other people's attitudes toward it, and realizing that they considered it to be a risk for me to do.
