For me, cinema's like a language - everyone has their own form of it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think cinema has this beautiful component. It's a universal language.
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.
Because there is so little room for expression otherwise, a lot of people love cinema because they find it a way of expressing themselves.
Americans think cinema is about storytelling; I don't believe that. I think it's a language and everyone has to find their own way of speaking. It's not so much what you say as the way you say it.
Cinema is a medium that can translate ideas.
I think the cinema you like has more to do with silence, and the theater you like has more to do with language.
I feel that, particularly because of language, we are handicapped in getting a large world audience. But Hindi cinema has the same ingredients that appeal to the whole world.
At its best, cinema does retain a remarkable ability to speak to people of every age, from every background, and in ways that almost any other art form in popular culture struggles to compete with.
People are mistaken to view cinema as some sort of gimmick. It's very much ingrained in the ways in which we understand each other.
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.
