Movies were very important. The art-form of the 20th century.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Cinema is arguably the 20th century's most influential art form.
What is overlooked is the astonishing amount of history Hollywood has got right... For better or worse, nothing has been more influential in shaping our visions of the past than the commercial cinema.
Movies are an art form that is very available to the masses.
I mean, certainly it's the single biggest event, I think, in terms of popular entertainment, or art even, if you say that, of the 20th Century. It's been film. It's the 20th Century's real art form.
I think that most of the best movies made in America in the 20th century were crime dramas, screwball comedies and westerns.
Movies were never an art form, they were entertainment. It just evolved into an art form from there, and it's still evolving in different ways.
There are so many things from movies that are remembered, that are just looks on people's faces or incredible vistas or beautiful pictures. That is a very important part of cinema.
My interest in filmmaking was always very much the visuals and images.
Film is important; it can be more than reportage or a novel - it creates images people have never seen before, never imagined they'd see, maybe because they needed someone else to imagine them.
Film in the 20th century, it's the American art form, like jazz.
