“In the theater the audience is generally riveted to a single angle of observation. The movie director, though, can rapidly shift from objective to subjective--and to any number of subjective points of view--and in so doing seem to pull the audience directly inside the frame of his picture, giving the spectator the sense of experiencing an action from the viewpoint of a participant. Identification of the viewer with the film character, then, can be much more intimate than the analogous situation in the theater.” GivingCharacterSeemsActionFilmViewsNumbersSituationAudienceDirectorsTheaterPoint Of ViewObjectivesObservationCinemaIntimateAngleViewersSubjectiveSpectatorsParticipantsViewpointsIdentificationMovie Director Author:Ed Murray
“I did always want to write. And then, when I left New York, where I was working very steadily in the theater - I had done three Broadway shows in a row and was a bit burnt out - I moved out to L.A. and I was not working very much. I came in cold and I'd work for a week, but then I'd have a month or two off. I thought, "I'm going to go crazy unless I actually do write." Like a lot of things in life, it was a situation that came about by circumstances.” WantWritingTwoDoneShowsThreeLeftBitsSituationWeekCrazyNew YorkMonthsColdCircumstancesTheaterMovedThings In LifeBroadwayBroadway ShowsBurnt Out Author:Jim Piddock

“One of the more problematic aspects of the current state of cinema in Japan is that the movies playing in the theaters are by and large made not by film studios but by broadcasting companies. They're either extensions of popular television dramas or adaptations of manga or anime. Younger Japanese are simply not being exposed to good films. That situation needs to change.” NeedsMadeStatesFilmCompanySituationTelevisionDramaAspectTheaterCurrentsStudiosCinemaJapanExposedExtensionsAdaptationNeed A ChangeBroadcastingGood FilmsAnimeTelevision Drama Author:Hirokazu Koreeda
“You create this situation where you are so dependent on each other. That's especially true for film. In theater, the actor has much more say, much more control, for better or worse.” FilmActorsSituationTheaterDependentWhere You Are Author:Susan Sarandon
“Don't tell me about heaven. What about in this life, that there is a better way, that this is not in vain, that it is not Edward Albee or Camus's absurd, the theater of the absurd, it is not Shakespeare - "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" - that life has meaning and that God is still in control, and that God can, and God will, so people of goodwill, working hard, do something about the situation?

“We both [me and Eugene Levy] come from the same place. Eugene did most of his work in SCTV and ensemble situations. I'd done all this theater work before I got into movies and ensemble situations.
