“Working on a novel is very solitary and I get to be the boss. I'm the dictator, so I win every battle. So, in that sense, novels are easier because you don't have to answer to anyone.

“Like the panic stricken populace of 'The War of the Worlds' and countless other 1950s invasion movies, the victims are there to provide the human ground over which monster and expert, threat and defender, disordering and ordering impulses can battle it out. Second-class citizens of the genre, they are narratively indispensable because physically entirely disposable.

“The motion picture is like journalism in that, more than any of the other arts, it confers celebrity. Not just on people - on acts, and objects, and places, and ways of life.

No matter what filmmakers intend, film always argues yes.” PeopleWayKindArtMadeMatterFilmDoubtObjectsMaterialsSceneBattleBasesCamerasNo Matter WhatArguingGenuineJournalismFilmmakerMovieAntiwarMotion PicturesStardom Author:Renata Adler
