Zitat des Tages über Kino / Cinema:
I have always been clear that cinema is not my priority and that my family is.
I like cinema. I am very fond of it. But from time to time I feel like having some time on my own.
A cinema villain essentially needs a moustache so he can twiddle with it gleefully as he cooks up his next nasty plan.
Cinema sustains life. It captures death in its progress.
For example, in painting the form arises from abstract elements of line and color, while in cinema the material concreteness of the image within the frame presents - as an element - the greatest difficulty in manipulation.
I feel like my job as a storyteller and director is to create an experience where the audience forgets they're in a cinema and can get lost in the story. Things popping out of the screen call attention to the artifice of what you're doing, so I use 3D as more of a window into a world behind the screen.
Even in Indian cinema, there is so much work that I have accepted because I'm comfortable and so much I have declined because I haven't been comfortable.
Cinema was my rite of passage.
Cinema is made to film material: the body. By filming the material, the mechanical, the worker, we arrive at the spiritual.
In Australia, there aren't a lot of people committed to art, so these communities form that are dedicated to music, theater, cinema, but they're very small. So, they tend to move ahead on the power of collaboration, enthusiasm and creativity.
I don't any longer make any quality judgement between theater and cinema. They are different experiences for the audience, and they also are for the actors - although they have a lot in common.
Wiseman's films are some of the most pure cinema, and to take a journey in a Wiseman film is like no other. He's been doing it so long, with a body of over 40 films!
'Slumdog' initiated a chain of events like going to Cannes and being invited to the Cairo Film Festival, which changed my perspective of cinema and of being an actor forever.
From now on, I approach the cinema as a business woman. I intend to be in more action movies because, apart from Angelina Jolie, no other actress stands out in this genre.
Cinema is the most beautiful fraud in the world.
Cinema has the capacity to be so physiological.
Going to the cinema or a meal can be difficult, with people asking for pictures or autographs.
I hate that people think going to the theatre is a special occasion. I wish people would treat it as normally as going to the cinema.
Any film I do is not going to change the way black women have been portrayed, or black people have been portrayed, in cinema since the days of D.W. Griffith.
I think cinema is linked to literature by a lot of social ways. Our brains are full of literature - my brain is.
I think the cinema you like has more to do with silence, and the theater you like has more to do with language.
Never in the history of cinema has a medium entertained an audience. It's what you do with the medium.
Doing cinema is not about watching yourself.
'Up the Junction' really made me understand the power of cinema to create a vivid sense of a community. When I went on to make 'Bhaji on the Beach,' it was this sense I tried to recreate.
Cinema is an art form.
I'm a bit old-fashioned. I like the idea of going to the cinema and then an Italian restaurant.
As soon as I get my car I think I'll be going to the cinema more. Since I don't go very often, there are no films that are a must see at the moment. I usually wait till they come out on DVD.
One of the things I love about cinema is the range.
If you want to be in Hollywood, and if you want to make big international movies, you have to be able to make movies that don't have anything to do with social status or politics. To limit yourself to just do these little small movies and call it black cinema itself is a mistake to me.
Cinema is an infinite medium, so we should take advantage of it, I think.
Cinema in India is like brushing your teeth in the morning. You can't escape it.
For the best part of my childhood I visited the local library three or four times a week, hunching in the stacks on a foam rubber stool and devouring children's fiction, classics, salacious thrillers, horror and sci-fi, books about cinema and origami and natural history, to the point where my parents encouraged me to read a little less.
The success of 'Dhruva' has given me more satisfaction than any of my previous hits, simply because the audience accepted the film even though it was experimental. I really hope this kind of acceptance makes experimental cinema the new mainstream cinema.
I don't think Bollywood is only mindless cinema, but a lot of films they churn out are not films that I completely enjoy watching.
Conventional Indian cinema is about people falling in love. They sing, they dance.
I think Direct Cinema's trying to be insightful by looking at reality in a very close way while, in fact, much more is staged than we like to think. In cinema verite, it's about trying to make something invisible visible - the role of fantasy and imagination in everyday life.
