Whoever came up first with that saying a picture is worth a thousand words didn't understand the first thing about either one.

Cinema is a worldwide phenomenon.

Final cut is overrated. Only fools keep insisting on always having the final word. The wise swallow their pride in order to get to the best possible cut.

Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it.

Filmmakers tell actors to adjust their body language, and the famous presence of the actor is his or her body language. That is what makes them special and a movie star. An actor's capital is his body.

It's almost scary how stylish things can look if you take the color out - how much more you see the essence of things and how much more something can appear elegant.

So I am getting a little bored with defining one type of film as American and the other European or from somewhere else because the division is no longer true.
