When a film is created, it is created in a language, which is not only about words, but also the way that very language encodes our perception of the world, our understanding of it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For me, cinema's like a language - everyone has their own form of it.
The written word can be powerful and beautiful - but films transport us to another place in a way that even the most evocative words never can.
The language of film is further and further away from the language of theater and is closer to music. It's abstract but still narrative.
Writing a film is like building a brick wall. You have a plan, and you have the blocks. Then, somebody says, 'I think we'll take this stone out of here and put it over there. And while we're at it, let's make this stone red and that stone green.'
When you create a movie, you create something in your image.
Filmmaking, like any other art, is a very profound means of human communication; beyond the professional pleasure of succeeding or the pain of failing, you do want your film to be seen, to communicate itself to other people.
Making a film is like making a mixtape. You're collecting all this stuff and putting your favorite stuff into it: you have actors that you like, characters that you're interested in, moments you want to explore, themes you want to deal with, music that you want to put in. It's a pastiche of all these things that deal with how you see the world.
When you're making the film, you don't really think the audience; it's only when you start editing that you really start to became aware of your audience because you're thinking of how you communicate these ideas, and how lucid can you be, and yet stay within the language you've established.
Making a film is like putting out a fire with sieve. There are so many elements, and it gets so complicated.
A film is a director's vision... there is, however, much input an actor or actress can have.
