I only said 'Titanic' is unwatchable because one can not watch it.

Don't let the difficulty of actually achieving a shot make you think that the shot is good.

All good work requires self-revelation.

Suffice to say that the theme (the WHAT of the movie) is going to determine the style (the HOW of the movie).

The varying physical characteristics of the actors may also necessitate changes. Sean Connery is six feet four. Dustin Hoffman isn't.

While the goal of all movies is to entertain, the kind of film in which I believe goes one step further. It compels the spectator to examine one facet or another of his own conscience. It stimulates thought and sets the mental juices flowing.

There's no such thing as a small part. There are just small actors.
