Cinema is a matter of what's in the frame and what's out.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To me, cinema is not a movie or a TV screen, and it's not a seat in a building versus one in your living room. It's the art of motion pictures.
Cinema is an art form.
When it's good, cinema can be one of the most important things in a person's life. A film can be a catalyst for change. You witness this and it is an incredibly spiritual experience that I'd never lived before; well, maybe only in a football match.
Cinema is a world of imagination.
Cinema at its best can express something of the pure irreducible fact of things.
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.
You can manipulate the viewer in film. With theater, what you see is what you get.
Your relationship to a film, and to cinema, is very much determined by yourself, so what is relevant is you.
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.
Cinema is incredibly concise.
