I don't know any form of art or entertainment that can affect people the way movies can. I know it sounds ridiculous, but they can change your world. They can change your views.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
More people are exposed to movies than to most other forms of art.
Movies are an art form that is very available to the masses.
Movies are visual, aural, they involve people, and life, and ideas and art, they are so elastic. They can hold anything, withstand everything, and make you feel anything. Other arts can do that, but movies are the only ones that can incorporate other media into cinema.
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.
Whether you think a film will affect society or it's plain entertainment, it's all excellent, it's all noble.
I'm interested in the impact my movies have on people and how it affects them, and what they like and what they don't like - and what they take away from it. What leaves an impression, you know?
Entertainment today constantly emphasises the message that things are wonderful the way they are. But there is another kind of cinema, which says that change is possible and necessary and it's up to you.
Movies are art and the spirit of the movie depends on the creators.
It's disappointing to see films become pure entertainment, so that it's not an art form.
Films can't change the society; they can simply open the space for the discussion which can lead to social change and can start new forms of social activism.
