Advertising, music, atmospheres, subliminal messages and films can have an impact on our emotional life, and we cannot control it because we are not even conscious of it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I find films incredibly emotional. That's the power of the medium.
Rather than being a luxury, emotions are a very intelligent way of driving an organism toward certain outcomes.
The constant monitoring of our emotional landscape and personal interactions is a bizarre concept. But it is one that could help many people.
Emotions are the key to many aspects of life. They are precisely the elements that make human beings human. I think the fact that emotions have been reduced and put off to the side in intellectual work, particularly in the 20th Century, is tragic.
If you don't control your emotions, your emotions will control your acts, and that's not good.
I firmly believe that emotions are universal, and I know that when they connect with the audience, it works. There is no such thing as an entertaining or a serious film; there are good films and bad films. Good films will always find a vast audience.
Mostly in life people are trying not to have emotions.
We must become acquainted with our emotional household: we must see our feelings as they actually are, not as we assume they are. This breaks their hypnotic and damaging hold on us.
Our emotions are often beautiful, but they can also be dangerous. They represent our spontaneity, and seem to speak to us of our freedom.
Emotions are products of our mind, and we can actually train ourselves to choose whether we banish or embrace them.
