Movies are all about plot. Theater, even if it's story heavy, it's about ideas.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Theater and film are essentially the same - just different kinds of storytelling.
Theater has to resonate in your heart in a way that movies don't.
A movie is painting, it's photography, it's literature - because you have to have the screenplay - it's music. Put a different soundtrack to a comedy and it's a tragedy. A movie combines all those forms and forces you to pay attention for two hours with a group of people.
The theoretical casting part of movies is the funnest part. You really can imagine so many different versions of a story based on who's embodying it.
Movies are not scripts - movies are films; they're not books, they're not the theatre.
A movie is so visually powerful, so overwhelming, that it tends to crowd out how you might have imagined things.
Film is the medium for communicating not just ideas, but things of the heart.
Movies are a complicated collision of literature, theatre, music and all the visual arts.
The movies that work are the ones in which somebody very smart figured out how to take all the thematic material, all the character material, all the filigree, all the beautiful writing, and put it into a story.
I like dramas because there's a big overlap between film and fiction, so I feel relatively qualified to talk about plot and characterisation and that sort of thing.
