“If you approach a film with the feeling that you are going to have some impact on society then you're liable to get carried away with yourself. Alfred Hitchcock once told me, when I was analyzing a lot of things about his pictures, "Clint, you must remember, it's only a movie.” IfsFeelingsRememberFilmApproachImpactLiableAnalyzingCarried AwayHitchcockImpact On Society Author:Clint Eastwood
“I dislike The Exorcist, and I found it a warning sign of the dangers in a furious cinematic talent putting the audience through it (a Hitchcock phrase) without purpose, or without the nagging moral anxiety that activated Hitch. You see, I don't think William Friedkin believes in the Devil, or cares about him. I think he found exorcism a pretext for a gross-out and he calculated there was an audience for it, or a crowd ready to be challenged. Maybe I'm too much of an atheist to stand religion being so thrashed.” ThinkingBelieveCareFilmPurposeFoundMoralAudienceToo MuchTalentDangerReadyAnxietyDevilHollywoodAtheistCrowdsPhrasesWarningDislikeGrossFuriousPretextCinematicHitchcockNaggingExorcismExorcistWarning Signs Author:Edward Jay Epstein

In art school, I studied painters like Edward Hopper, who used urban motifs, Franz Kafka is my favorite novelist.

“The act of seeing any film generally is you knowing more than the characters, even if its the classic Hitchcock shot of two people talking and a bomb being under the table.
