The demarcation between an art house film and an entertainer has blurred, only because a larger section of the audience has accepted such realistic films.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Just as theater has to be where people live, actors have to go out in the marketplace - not be cut off by a lens. Either an artist grows or he stagnates.
A film has to maintain a certain decorum in order to be broadcast to a vast audience.
A lot of people think theatre must be much harder work than film, but anything histrionic or superfluous gets seen on camera so you have to work to distil it into a complete sense of what's true.
Cinema is an art form.
Film and art are close together.
More people are exposed to movies than to most other forms of art.
Film is a dramatised reality and it is the director's job to make it appear real... an audience should not be conscious of technique.
Theatre is liberating because it only works if it's truthful - that's what it requires. That's not true of film: the camera does lie.
Movies become art after editing. Instead of just reproducing reality, they juxtapose images of it. That implies expression; that's art.
Modern American cinema seems to me superficial. The intention is to understand a certain reality, and the result is nothing but a photographing of that reality.
