Cinema Quotes

I go for a couple of parties; you won’t find me at every film party and never at award ceremonies. I tried attending for the first three to four years, and I’ve performed at award shows. I sat in them, and I’ve also exited pretty fast from them. It’s just not my place. I’d rather get their adulation in a cinema hall Picture Quote #1

I enjoy going back to work now because cinema is going through an exciting period because young people are now going back to the movie theaters. But things are different though Picture Quote #1

I know there is one kind of cinema that exists in the world, that is good or bad cinema Picture Quote #1

Good cinema is good cinema. It makes you feel like you need to work. Just yesterday I saw a good film, but even if I’d seen a bad one, I’d feel, Oh my God, what a bad job, I can do better Picture Quote #1

The novel succeeds on terms exclusive to literature. A good film succeeds on terms exclusive to the cinema. That’s why so many bad novels can become good movies, like ‘Jaws’ or ‘The Godfather.’ Picture Quote #1

Harrison Ford was pretty content as a carpenter who thought it would be nice to work on TV and ended up being the biggest film star in the history of cinema Picture Quote #1

All the people I’ve met, many outside of cinema, knew everything perfectly about one thing or one subject or one area Picture Quote #1

I think cinema has this beautiful component. It’s a universal language Picture Quote #1

You do remember things that people say in movies. You remember particular lines and things that are funny. But, you also remember really strong images. Images have a way of bypassing your brain and hitting you emotionally. There are so many things from movies that are remembered, that are just looks on people’s faces or incredible vistas or beautiful pictures. That is a very important part of cinema Picture Quote #1

I felt from time to time that shooting live music is the most purely cinematic thing you can do. Ideally, the cinema is becoming one with the music. There is little artifice involved. There’s no acting. I love it Picture Quote #1

One of the nicest things I ever read about our show was that a critic felt ‘Boardwalk Empire’ could be the beginning of the blur between television and cinema, because the production values are so high and the storytelling is so compelling Picture Quote #1

If you really spend time with movies, it’s three years of your life from beginning to end. I started out planting the seed with ‘Monster’s Ball’ about independent cinema and raising money and that whole thing as a producer, and then it becomes easier for me Picture Quote #1

I love cinema. I think the risk of the aesthetics being fixed is compensated by other advantages. Cinema is visually powerful, it is a complete experience, reaches different audience. It’s something I really like. I like movies Picture Quote #1

A movie is a mass consumption product. I have got no delusions about being niche. I don’t want to be niche. Though in the earlier part of my career I was into niche cinema, doing independent films - and I do have a revolutionary bent of mind - but you cannot make a change from outside; you have to be a part of it Picture Quote #1

If you can’t believe a little in what you see on the screen, it’s not worth wasting your time on cinema Picture Quote #1

Cinema, which is influenced by every single part of life, is direct and reaches you immediately. And writing - the best writing is complex ideas communicated concisely. And music - if it’s a good tune, make sure people can bloody hear it Picture Quote #1

A message I’ve been telling myself: the cinema is very conservative, and unless you have a story that satisfies you, that is within the unchallenging zone, but you love it, you can’t do it as cinema. Otherwise, you better go do it for television, which is more daring now Picture Quote #1

Close Encounters of the Third Kind.’ Big, big, big smash for me. My birth of the love of cinema was born with ‘Close Encounters’ and 2001.’ Those sci-fi movies I saw when I was a little kid Picture Quote #1

I experienced Kabul with my brother the way Amir and Hassan do: long school days in the summer, kite fighting in the winter time, westerns with John Wayne at Cinema Park, big parties at our house in Wazir Akbar Khan, picnics in Paghman Picture Quote #1

Cinema was always taking the big risks, and TV was ambling along behind, just trying to touch the hem Picture Quote #1

I think most people, no matter their status now, have big screen TVs, because they’re the standard TVs now. And so why would you go to the cinema? Picture Quote #1

I turn a lot of stuff down - big, big movies, the kind I wouldn’t want to go to the cinema to see Picture Quote #1

I remember going to see Billy Graham in a cinema in Glasgow, and he was down in London. I used to go and hear preachers, and then we always went to church and Sunday school. That mattered a lot to me Picture Quote #1

Blade Runner is one of my favorite films. But, so many thing influenced me that aren’t science fiction because they were just good drama. I grew up watching a lot of French cinema. I was in love with The English Patient, and movies that are very romantic in nature and have a positive message. That’s a large part of my fingerprint Picture Quote #1

It’s like I’m stuck in a time bubble. Memories keep coming back, and of course, memories are a huge part of literature and cinema, from Stand by Me to Blade Runner Picture Quote #1

When I write, I keep the family audience in mind. I ensure there’s no vulgarity, as families are coming into the theatres, and there’s no blood and gore because of the kids. There is a set of people who doesn’t like my cinema, but there’s a bigger group that likes the kind of movies I make Picture Quote #1

It’s a standard staple in Japanese cinema to cut somebody’s arm off and have red water hoses for veins, spraying blood everywhere Picture Quote #1

I don’t think so much about verbal comedy. I always think about visual comedy. I was raised watching silents, and I’m always thinking about how to make cinema, not good talking - although I want good talking. I’m much more interested in framing, composition, and orchestration of bodies in space, and so forth Picture Quote #1

I love awards, especially if I get them. It’s up to the courage of the filmmakers to make art in cinema, not just business. John was rejected by studios, he borrowed money and did movies with his own money. You’re either courageous or not. You have to find a way Picture Quote #1
