The cinema occupies an important place in the overall development of art and literature.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Cinema is an art form.
I think cinema is linked to literature by a lot of social ways. Our brains are full of literature - my brain is.
The cinema is an institution nowadays, with its roots sunk deep in the hearts of the millions of people who find enjoyment and entertainment in going to the pictures.
Movies are a complicated collision of literature, theatre, music and all the visual arts.
It's important for cinema to keep on evolving: for people, and not only teenagers, to be able to go to a movie that has huge epic scope but has an intellectual and real story to tell.
Cinema is a territory. It exists outside of movies. It's a place I live in. It's a way of seeing things, of experiencing life. But making films, that's supposed to be a profession.
Writers would hate me saying this, and I love words, but I have to say that cinema exists, on one level, for the power of the big image and what that image does.
Movies are an art form that is very available to the masses.
I began to see cinema as the perfect combination of so many wonderful art forms - painting, photography, music, dance, theater.
To me, cinema is cinema. Cinema is one big tree with many branches. The same as literature. In literature, you don't just say, 'Oh, I bought some literature.' No, you say, 'I bought a novel' by so-and-so, or a book of essays by so-and-so.
