Films Quotes

I love film, but it’s funny going to drama school for three years, where you spend most of your time training for theatre, then coming out and just doing films Picture Quote #1

Before we made films about gangsters, everything was about the royal families. They contain so much drama Picture Quote #1

I make my films because I’m affected by a situation, by something that makes me want to reflect on it, that lends itself to an artistic reflection. I always aim to look directly at what I’m dealing with. I think it’s a task of dramatic art to confront us with things that in the entertainment industry are usually swept under the rug Picture Quote #1

I do feel like animated films really combine a lot of different of art forms: film-making and writing and drawing and painting - to a certain extent, even sculpting. It’s a wonderful medium to work with as a craftsman because it’s such so rich and so varied and so expressive Picture Quote #1

Growing up, my fascination was all things dinosaur, and as an adult, I’ve had some success making films about aliens, so this is a dream come true Picture Quote #1

It would be a dream to do a film with Pedro Almodovar and that whole crew of Spaniards. There’s this Argentinian actor who’s one of my favorite actors in the whole wide world. His name is Ricardo Darin, and he’s a brilliant actor. He does a lot of Argentinian films, and I know he does a lot of European films, as a Spanish actor Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been into films. I’ve been offered lots of films but they’ve always been these very stereotypical roles. They wanted me to play some gangster or street guy, or pimp, drug addict Picture Quote #1

However, we couldn’t focus on the films much during the series because we’re dumb. Individually we’re smart guys, but together we’re one big dumb guy, and couldn’t concentrate on two things at once Picture Quote #1

I long to make films. I’m dying to be inside the next film. I always hope there will be another film Picture Quote #1

My earliest memories of horror are ‘Friday the 13th Part 2,’ John Carpenter’s ‘The Thing,’ ‘Halloween,’ ‘An American Werewolf in London,’ and ‘A Nightmare On Elm Street’... and ‘Hatchet’ is so obviously inspired by those films that I may as well have made it in 1984 Picture Quote #1

My dad moved to London in his early 20s and didn’t really go back. So the irony is I’ve spent lots and lots of time in Ireland, but not with my dad. I’ve shot films in Belfast, where he’s from. And I’ve shot in Dun Laoghaire. Which is great. And I’ve shot in Dublin Picture Quote #1

You’re seeing me develop, not only as a filmmaker if you’ve seen my earlier films, but you’re seeing me kind of learn how to be a human, how my philosophy has evolved Picture Quote #1

I write back to every fan who writes me, which is kind of a full-time job in some regards ‘cause I don’t want people to wait too long . So I get up very early in the morning and try to rip through all of them. I pretty much sleep four hours a night. Then I’m constantly writing and doing short Halloween films for my web site. I’m definitely busy Picture Quote #1

If I see my films described as ‘quirky’ or, even worse, ‘snarky’ one more time, I’m going to probably seriously consider an early retirement. All these years, I’ve labored under the conceit that they were darkly humorous.’ Picture Quote #1

Although I could read before I went to school, and I won the school reading prize at five years old, my early children’s stories came from the radio and watching films at a cinema on Saturday mornings in Australia. It wasn’t until I was nine years old on a ship returning from Australia that I was introduced to children’s books Picture Quote #1

I worked initially in very low-budget independent films that I often wrote. My early work was all written by myself, and then I adapted ‘Tsotsi,’ so I was used to the writing process being, in a way, integral to my directing. I felt it really prepared me Picture Quote #1

So it is that one side effect of the HD revolution has been the gratifying and edifying return of the nature documentary - films about the hugely varied forms of life that eat, sleep, stalk, mate, fight, thrive, suffer and struggle on our dear and embattled old Earth Picture Quote #1

Not just art for art’s sake, but I want to have films out there that will provoke authentic, holistic conversations about the human condition. And not provide the easy answers, but put it out there Picture Quote #1

I don’t like films giving me answers. I like films that are provoking me, that are making me feel not only being in an easy place Picture Quote #1

There have been so many stories about alcoholism and drugs. Eating disorders are also a form of abuse, but rarely a theme in feature films that aren’t documentaries Picture Quote #1

Because I make films about eating disorders and sexual assault, people always come up to me and are like, Are you okay? like I’m a broken-down shell of a woman Picture Quote #1

In the early 90s, I was hired to write educational dramas about HIV and AIDS in the shantytowns. I did that for two and a half years, and then I was hired on other films. When ‘Tsotsi’ presented itself, I thought, ‘This is not a world I grew up in, but I’ve spent a great deal of time writing about it and researching it in my past.’ Picture Quote #1

There are literally a thousand works with the title Malcolm X in them. There are over 350 films and over 320 web-based educational resources with the title Malcolm X, yet the vast majority of them are based on secondary literatures, that is, not on primary source material Picture Quote #1

So our films had a lot more to them than entertainment value, and I’m glad that a lot of people recognize that now. People realize now the value of them as educational Picture Quote #1

I got interested in astronomy at the age of 8 because I was looking at an atlas of the planets in my parents’ apartment in Arlington, where I grew up. I got a telescope at age 10, which is pretty normal, and by the time I was in eighth grade, I had already seen a lot of cheesy sci-fi films Picture Quote #1

Sometimes it occurs to me that the job of a serious cultural critic mostly consists in telling the generality of people that their opinions - on films, on books, on all manner of widgets, gadgets and even the latest electronic fidgets - simply aren’t up to scratch Picture Quote #1

They say an elephant never forgets. Well, you are not an elephant. Take notes, constantly. Save interesting thoughts, quotations, films, technologies... the medium doesn’t matter, so long as it inspires you Picture Quote #1

Control’ had to do with my own life a lot, and that’s why that seemed to be a film I could be the director of, because I had an emotional attachment to the whole story. And because of that experience, I feel that I can try other films. I didn’t set out to become a director Picture Quote #1

I would like to do something dark or small. I love independent films. I love emotional scenes. I love people who are struggling with something. I think it’s just the juxtaposition to my incredibly happy, positive demeanor Picture Quote #1

I think it’s a little simplistic to explain a work through the psychology of its author. In other words, that Haneke has emotional problems, so I don’t have to take his films seriously. By using this argument, the viewer retreats from the challenges of the film Picture Quote #1
