“I am more greatly moved by people who struggle to express themselves...I prefer the abstract concept of incoherence in the face of great feeling to beautiful, full sentences that convey little emotion. l have always been intrigued by these lives I have never experienced.” #botd
Happy 50th birthday Penelope Cruz ~ Ferrari (2023) #botd
"Thodōros Angelopoulos is a wonderful person. What he says makes one feel as if one's deepest soul is looked into by him. A true mature adult one could call him. Especially 'The Travelling Players' (1975) was nothing less than 'mature eyes', wasn't it?" --- Akira Kurosawa
People believe that the cinema has to be horizontal in its form. That is, go to a great many places and locales. That is not so. It should be possible to make an interesting film in a closet with the door shut. Alfred Hitchcock.
Stanley Kubrick
“The idea is to reveal human nature and behavior with your camera moves. This presupposes, of course, an interesting story and characters worth revealing.” Alfred Hitchcock.
"A motion picture must be the most effective combination of both image & sound. Cinematic sound is never merely accompaniment, never merely what the sound machine caught while you took the scene. Real sound does not merely add to the image, it multiplies it." — Akira Kurosawa

"You have to bow to Hitchcock, who was a great formalist. His whole use of montage to convey certain things, you can study that forever. And one of the best movies ever made is “Vertigo” (1958) I mean, talk about a nightmare. And it doesn’t have a happy ending." — John Carpenter
“Cinema should capture life in the forms in which it exists and use images of life itself. It is the most realistic art form in terms of form. The form in which the cinematic shot exists should be a reflection of the forms of real life.” - Andrei Tarkovsky #botd #filmmakers
Remembering Marlon Brando ~ On The Waterfront (1954) #botd
On this day, 56 years ago Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey' (1968) premiered. Here is Stanley Kubrick talking about the movie on the opening night in New York.
"There's a thousand ways to say "Pass the salt". It could mean, you know, "Can I have some salt?" or it could mean, "I love you.". It could mean, "I'm very annoyed with you". Really, the list could go on and on. Words are little bombs, and they have a lot of energy inside them."
Remembering Gloria Swanson, born 125 years ago today ~ Sunset Boulevard (1950) #botd

We live in a world where David Lynch can't get funding for his animated project, "Snootworld" & Francis Ford Coppola struggling to get distribution rights for his dream movie "Megalopolis"; while Hollywood studios make their uninteresting remakes & sequels.
Francis Ford Coppola’s ‘MEGALOPOLIS’ is being deemed by some studio execs to be too experimental & not commercial enough to acquire & spend $100M on marketing. (Source: thr.cm/CX0thQp)

Jeff is dedicated to spying on his neighbors, fleeing the responsibility of accepting or not accepting Lisa's marriage proposal. 'Rear Window' is the victory of a woman to get the man she loves entering her game.
"You have to bow to Hitchcock, who was a great formalist. His whole use of montage to convey certain things, you can study that forever. And one of the best movies ever made is “Vertigo” (1958) I mean, talk about a nightmare. And it doesn’t have a happy ending." — John Carpenter
Hitchcock made the wise decision to play this scene without dialogue. It's like a scene in a silent movie. We see their mouths moving, their arms gesticulating, but we hear only the sweeping music. We don’t need to hear the dialogue, because we know as much as the characters do.
