“There’s a great scene in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre [1974] that I’m obsessed with: Sally is being chased by Leatherface with a chainsaw... And she runs into thorn bushes. And she’s getting tangled up in it because she’s running fast... But Sally needs to move slowly in order to get through the bushes - she will get farther faster by going slowly because her hair and clothes won’t get tangled and caught. There’s something really beautiful about understanding that, while someone’s chasing you with a chainsaw, you have to move more slowly in order to get away.” NeedsRunningBeautifulMovingOrderUnderstandingSawsHairSceneClothesCaughtChainsFasterObsessedGet AwayTexasChasingTangledMassacresReally BeautifulChainsawRunning Fast Author:Christopher Bollen
“The film's title star, Christian Bale, told me in June that he'd signed a multi-picture contract. When I caught up with Batman Begins ... All I can tell you is, we're talking. There was quite an air of secrecy around the development of 'Batman Begins,' and there will be even more around the development of another film, if they move forward.” IfsI CanChristianFilmMovingStarsTalkingAirDevelopmentCaughtMoving ForwardTitlesContractsCaught UpSecrecyJune Author:Christopher Nolan
“... not only is life put in new patterns from the air, but it is somehow arrested, frozen into form. (The leaping hare is caught in a marble panel.) A glaze is put over life. There is no flaw, no crack in the surface; a still reservoir, no ripple on its face. Looking down from the air that morning, I felt that stillness rested like a light over the earth. The waterfalls seemed frozen solid; the tops of the trees were still; the river hardly stirred, a serpent gently moving under its shimmering skin.” StillsLightEarthFacesMovingFormFeltMorningAirTreeRiversSkinsPatternsCaughtSurfaceFlawsCracksStillnessFrozenArrestedMarbleRippleSerpentReservoirsWaterfallsLooking DownHares Author:Anne Morrow Lindbergh
“We should not laugh at the person who becoming caught up in his prayer bends his body or moves about in strange ways. Perhaps he moves in this manner to wave off unwelcome thoughts that would interrupt the prayer. Would we find it funny if we saw a person drowning going through strange motions doing whatever was necessary to save his life?” IfsWayShouldPersonsBodyMovingPrayerLaughingSawsStrangeBecomingWaveCaughtCaught UpDrowningUnwelcome Author:Baal Shem Tov
“It is easy for desire to be caught like a bird in a net, its wings fouled and twisted, no longer free to cross back and forth between silence and word. Desire may also find itself so amputated by tradition and community that it wanders in a void with nothing to orient it, to shape or discipline it. Desire must find ways to navigate its bitter and sweet paradox: it moves toward but also always through and beyond every object.” WayMayMovingDesireEasyCommunitySilenceObjectsSweetDisciplineShapesBirdTraditionCrossesWingsCaughtBitterWanderParadoxVoidTwistedBack And ForthNavigate Author:Wendy Farley
