“I would not have made any of my films or written scripts such as Taxi Driver had it not been for Ingmar Bergman, What he has left is a legacy greater than any other director.... I think the extraordinary thing that Bergman will be remembered for, other than his body of work, was that he probably did more than anyone to make cinema a medium of personal and introspective value.” ThinkingMadeBodyFilmValuesLeftGreaterWrittenDirectorsExtraordinaryScriptsMediumsLegacyRememberedCinemaDriversIntrospectiveTaxiExtraordinary ThingsBergman Author:Paul Schrader
“What guided Chaplin was the proper protection of self-interest (or craziness). So Chapling, Douglas Fairbanks, and Mark Pickford, with DW Griffith and William S Hart, made an alliance, called United Artists, whereby they would own a distribution company that would market their pictures, allowing them a greater return than if they leased the movies to some outside distributor.” IfsMadeSelfFilmArtistInterestUnitedCompanyGreaterReturnHollywoodMarkProtectionAllowingDistributionSelf InterestAlliancesCrazinessDistributorsHartChaplin Author:Edward Jay Epstein
“I don't use any techniques; I'm not trained to be an actor. I just enjoy working in films. It's more instinctive rather than anything else. I don't do the calculated rehearsed kind of approach, and I hope that I can continue that because I believe that instinct is much stronger and greater when you are performing on camera.” BelieveKindI CanUseFilmActorsI BelieveEnjoyGreaterApproachStrongerCamerasInstinctTechniquePerforming Author:Amitabh Bachchan
“A strong film director does leave you to your devices. A strong director allows you to be free and you trust that he's there and he will tell you if you've gone too far. A strong director allows you to be much more experimental and take greater chances than a director who isn't secure within himself.” IfsDoeFilmStrongChanceGoneGreaterDirectorsSecureDevicesFilm Directors Author:Elizabeth Taylor
“I grew up with 'Cinderella.' So that was my go-to Disney film, definitely.

“The zombie threat is made worse by the fact that their victims then turn into the creature that attacked them. This too is similar to other monsters (werewolves and vampires) and also similar to the sub-genre of infection/plague films. In the case of zombies, however, this may carry a greater sense of dread and revulsion: vampires and werewolves can be seen as desirable, potent, intelligent, virile creatures whom one might like -- in some way at least -- to become; a mindless ghoul condemned to wander aimlessly across an empty, ruined earth seems much less attractive.” WayMayMadeFactsSeemsMightEarthFilmTurnsCasesGreaterCreaturesEmptyIntelligentVictimThreatMonstersWanderVampireGenreAttractiveDreadRuinedDesirableZombiePlagueWerewolfInfectionMindlessGhoulsRevulsion Author:Kim Paffenroth
“In film, the possibilities are greater. You can go beyond the fourth wall. You can go to these incredible locations and you're put into circumstances that are physically sensuous.

“You have a certain objectivity, as a member of the audience, and you can come away maybe being provoked into a certain discourse or a certain arena of questioning, regarding how you would deal with things that your character has to deal with. Whereas when you're doing a film, once you start asking, "What would I do?," you're getting the distance greater between yourself and the character, or you're bringing the character to you, which I think is self-serving, in the wrong way. The idea is to bring yourself to the character.” ThinkingWayIdeasSelfCharacterFilmCertainDealsAudienceGreaterMembersAskingDistanceServingQuestioningDiscourseArenaObjectivityWrong WaySelf ServingProvoked Author:Colin Farrell

“I think that until a filmmaker knows that about him- or herself, the films they make will just be copies of other people's work. It's important for anyone who wants to make films for a living, but I think perhaps it has an even greater weight for female filmmakers since they represent a much smaller percentage of the population. Their voices are fewer so they must be even stronger.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWantImportantFilmVoiceGreaterFemaleWeightStrongerPopulationFilmmakerWorking ItCopiesFewerPercentages Author:Megan Griffiths
