“The fact that I do place music at the end of my films is not to accentuate the emotion. It serves an opposite purpose which is to remove them from the emotional space and allow them to enter a space of thinking, because I believe that when the audience is watching the film they're watching it with their feelings.” ThinkingBelieveEndsFactsFeelingsFilmPurposeI BelieveSpaceEmotionAudienceEmotionalOppositesRemoveAccentuate Author:Asghar Farhadi
“With Rodham, for instance, it has to work on an emotional level. It has to work on a character level. If it's only "Look, it has famous people," then it's a wax museum come to life and that's really boring. It's sort of like what they say about science fiction and horror where the really good ones, if you remove that element of it, it still has to work. That's the reason The Shining works or Rosemary's Baby or Blade Runner.” PeopleIfsLooksStillsReasonCharacterLevelsFictionEmotionalBabyHorrorElementsScience FictionShiningBoringInstanceRemoveMuseumsRunnersBladesRosemaryBlade Runner Author:James Ponsoldt
“It is difficult to remove by logic an idea not placed there by logic in the first place. By nature, we are emotional creatures. Often we live and react based on feelings, not logic. Feelings are wonderful, but when we become tied to a particular thought or belief we tend to ignore the fact that change might be necessary.” FirstsIdeasFactsFeelingsMightBeliefDifficultWonderfulEmotionalParticularCreaturesLogicRemoveTied Author:Gordon Livingston
“I always think that if you deal with extremely emotional, even melodramatic, subject matter, as I constantly do, the best way to handle those situations is at a sufficient remove. It's like a doctor and a nurse and a casualty situation. You can't help the patient and you can't help yourself by emoting. And I don't think cinema is intended for therapy, so I object also to that huge, massive manipulation which is perpetrated on the public.” IfsThinkingWayMatterHelpingDealsSituationSubjectsObjectsEmotionalHugeDoctorsPatientHandleBest WayTherapyCinemaSufficientRemoveMassiveManipulationNurseDo The BestSubject MatterCasualtiesHelp Yourself Author:Peter Greenaway
“The Limits Of Control is not surrealism, but it is an experiment in which expectations are deliberately removed: expectations for narrative form, for action in a film, for certain emotional content. We wanted to remove those things and see if we could still make a film that was a beautiful film experience, with deliberately removing things many people would expect.” PeopleIfsStillsActionWantedBeautifulFilmFormCertainEmotionalLimitsExpectationsExperimentsNarrativeRemoveSurrealism Author:Jim Jarmusch
