Frederick Wiseman Quotes

Everything about a movie is manipulation Picture Quote #1
Documentary filmmaking ruins you for real life, because you learn to be extremely attentive Picture Quote #1
In moviemaking, you learn to pay attention to detail, because so much is in the detail. And when you’re shooting, you try to be very alert to what’s going on, even if you’re tired Picture Quote #1
I’m very careful of not being critical of other people’s movies, which work in different styles. I think some of my movies can be interpreted as critical of their subjects Picture Quote #1
Making movies is an effort, is an attempt to leave a trace of your existence Picture Quote #1
I’m too busy to be nostalgic, which is one of the reasons to keep busy. I’m not a very sentimental person Picture Quote #1

I hope that not only my documentaries, but everybody’s documentaries, last. It will really confuse historians in the next century, because they’ll have, in addition to all the print material, they’ll have all these pictures to look at Picture Quote #1

Anybody whose mind is functioning at all can’t be content with the way the world works Picture Quote #1
Whether you’re a newspaper journalist, a lawyer, a doctor. You have to organize your thoughts Picture Quote #1
You have to edit the material. That assumes that some kind of a mind is operating in relation to the material. Not all minds are the same. Every aspect of filmmaking requires choice. The selection of the subject, the shooting, editing and length are all aspects of choice Picture Quote #1

I think I have an obligation, to the people who have consented to be in the film, to make a film that is fair to their experience. The editing of my films is a long and selective process. I do feel that when I cut a sequence, I have an obligation to the people who are in it, to cut it so that it fairly represents what I felt was going on at the time, in the original event. I don’t try and cut it to meet the standards of a producer or a network or a television show Picture Quote #1
I don’t like to read novels where the novelist tells me what to think about the situation and the characters. I prefer to discover for myself Picture Quote #1
