movies

I kissed my fingers,held my palm flat beside my mouth and blew it into the air that surrounded her memory. I closed my eyes, thinking this was one of those moments you see in movies or read about in books where everything comes together.

You keep your followers confused when you begin very well and give up too early... Suspense is useful in movies, but useless when writing your success stories!

I look at everything. God gave me eyes and I look at women and men and subway excavations and moving pictures and the little flowers of the field. I casually inspect the universe.

I could spend whole days at Cinecitt_. There, I am the greatest director of all time. On the town side, I reshoot the close-ups for Touch of Evil. Down at the beach, I rework the dolly shots for Stagecoach, and offshore I re-create the storm rocking the smugglers of Moonfleet.

It is that kind of thinking that is the problem; that movies, video games and the Internet, devices that simply amuse the imagination are more interesting than what a library stocks.

Whatever genre you deem suitable for your taste _ romance, comedy, action, mystery, sci-fi or anything else, make sure it has the plain everyday human kindness.

Take the clapper and become the alarm that the world so desperately needs.

Use filmmaking for a greater purpose, than to just entertain some drowsy minds. Wake the whole world up with your movies. It has been sleeping for long. Its eternal sleep has become its darkest nemesis. Now is the time to wake it up.

Make films that purify the soul with the flow of rational, vigorous and compassionate thinking.

The art of filmmaking is the most influential form of art that has ever existed throughout the history of human artistic endeavors.

Give people films, they will forget after a few weeks, but give people ideas, they will assimilate them into their consciousness.

Use filmmaking to eliminate racism _ use to it terminate misogyny _ use it to destroy homophobia and all other primitiveness.

Make movies my friend _ make nice, inspiring and bold movies that will penetrate the darkest corners of the human mind and illuminate the soul.

A movie is not a movie, it is a potential nuclear furnace of inspiration, courage and conscience.

Filmmaking has the power to fortify the feeble, unify the divided, raise the abandoned and inspire the ignorant.

...we__e not even really hiking,more like meandering in cinematic light.

If every book was judged by its cover, very few would be read; education would be limited, and fewer movies would be made.

The literary experience extends impression into discourse. It flowers to thought with nouns, verbs, objects. It thinks. Film implodes discourse, it deliterates thought, it shrinks it to the compacted meaning of the preverbal impression or intuition or understanding. You receive what you see, you don't have to think it out. . . . Fiction goes everywhere, inside, outside, it stops, it goes, its action can be mental. Nor is it time-driven. Film is time-driven, it never ruminates, it shows the outside of life, it shows behavior. It tends to the simplest moral reasoning. Films out of Hollywood are linear. The narrative simplification of complex morally consequential reality is always the drift of a film inspired by a book. Novels can do anything in the dark horrors of consciousness. Films do close-ups, car drive-ups, places, chases and explosions.
