Cinema is not a series of abstract ideas, but rather the phrasing of moments.
American pictures usually have no subject, only a story. A pretty woman is not a subject. Julia Roberts doing this and that is not a subject.
The invention of photography. For whom? Against whom?
When you go to the cinema you look up, when you watch television you look down.
The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life.
TV has nothing to do with painting. It's just transmission.
